i think bernie would have done exponentially better at the debates but i also think the right would make the current “he’s a radical leftist” redbaiting tactic they’re using on perc biden look like gentle critique

like a handful of trump ads conflating succdems with “radical marxist antifa extremists” and h would be looking at brainwashed 63 year old ex-fbi neocon posted outside bernie’s house with the heart attack gun. the fact that they’re getting any mileage with this “radical left” angle on oatmeal brained centrist biden is a testament to how fucked the overton window is at this point
