The Real Reason Centrists Keep Bringing Up Bernie, Hillary, and 2016.
As we all know, Joe Biden has solidified his position as the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States after Bernie Sanders made the decision to suspend his campaign. Since then, I can’t help but reflect on the near constant drumbeat following Hillary Clinton’s embarrassing loss in the 2016 election against Donald Trump, involving Bernie Sanders, his supporters, and how ultimately his movement was responsible for the loss.
Of course in the weeks since super Tuesday, and even during the weeks that Bernie Sanders was the frontrunner while Biden’s campaign was all but dead, that conversation resurfaced and continued to be a dominant narrative in the discourse surrounding the 2020 election. Now that all is said and done, it’s occurred to me that besides delegitimizing Bernie Sanders and his base, excuses for 2016 continue to be brought up in order to lay the groundwork for an inevitable loss in November.
According to a recent poll, 56 percent of democratic voters want to replace Joe Biden with Andrew Cuomo for the November election, while only 44 percent want to stick with Biden.
Frankly, I will be shocked if Joe Biden manages to win this election.
As much as I dislike and even despise Hillary Clinton, there is no denying that…
