MODERATORS
Democratic party aside, Bernie couldn't get the votes. I actually think the news media has been a much much bigger problem with someone like Bernie getting power. They always try to paint someone like him as being radical, when anywhere else in the world he would be a normal person on the left.
they're too busy sanewashing totally normal ideas like seperating children from parents, tariffs on every import, and mass deportation. Totally rational positions squarely in the overton window.
What will they say about the concentration camps those immigrants are rounded up into? What will they say about the military being deployed to round up residents? I guess we'll find out.
Taxing billionaires though, how radical
The issue with Bernie is that everyone knows he's a socialist. If there was someone else who presented the same ideas Bernie has while also saying "I'm totally not like Bernie" people would actually vote for that candidate. Most Americans are closeted socialists, they'll in favor of socialist policies as long as you don't call it socialism.
I have a feeling that that might change after this election. There's a real sense among liberal media (that I engage with) that a loss of this magnitude needs to be answered by a pretty substantial break with the status quo.
I'll believe it when I see it, there is too much money to be made by selling division and overblown narratives.
