    History would be exactly what happened with Ralf Nader - everyone blaming him for the outcome.

    I Nader’s case it was the de facto most consequential election imo - Al Gore x Bush. We would be fighting climate change properly and the terrorism response would’ve been significantly different.

    Bernie was pragmatic and lived to fight another day. And the progressive movement gained momentum.

      There is nothing “progressive” about identity politics.

        Ok, now you’re showing your true colors. You don’t care about real issues, you care about how people live their lives. Have fun with that mindset.
