I like Bernie, but I still remember his political movement: stepping aside for Hillary. I wonder how different our timeline would be, if that had not happened. Maybe he just doesn't know when to fight.

He lost the primary, what did you expect him to do?

I watched that primary, I wouldn't say he lost, he was just taken away as an option by those backing Hillary. He could have run as an independent, but he was more civil than everyone else running.

That primary is a prime example of the disconnect of the democratic party from their supporters.

I watched that primary while donating and volunteering for his campaign, and he unequivocally lost. Inventing fictional scenarios where he did not lose sounds fun, though!
