That's a very interesting theory that for some reason circulates around.
It has nothing to do with reality, both because in the final roaster there were both Bloomberg and Buttigeg, who got 3 million and a million votes respectively, and who aren't exactly paragons of the leftist values, and also because more people voted for Biden than for every other candidate combined, he got 4 million votes more than Bernie, Warren, Bloomberg, and Buttigeg combined.
I don't know where did you got all those theories, but they once again, seem to not correlate with reality.

You probably think that if you attack me that means your arguments hold more weight, but you are sorely mistaken on that. I am slightly tired of you not actually engaging with what I'm writing, so let me state it last time, and I would like you to read it this time.
The fact that Bernie wasn't able to win a popular vote in the democratic primaries twice doesn't support the idea that he will be better at the general elections. Whatever opposition he faced, whatever they did to him in your opinion, will be tenfold in the generals. The opposition there will be stronger and richer. The notion that everyone secretly agrees with him and only evil they are keeping him from getting into the office is a very comforting one, but none of the numbers support it. Unfortunately.

Did they personally brake the legs of all the leftist voters so they don't vote for their preferred candidate? Or did they just run a campaign against him and all the passionate Bernie voters just decided to believe their campaign and not vote for him?
I don't see an explanation here that supports that "Bernie would won the election" narrative.
And I don't think it's a good thing, I totally agree that he would be the best president US ever saw and he absolutely, unequivocally was the best candidate with the best ideas. I just don't believe american voting population wants what's best for them, there is much to be done to undone centuries of capitalist propaganda. But this work doesn't start with escaping into fantasy world, it stops there.

It would be a nice story, in theory, but unfortunately in reality in 2020 finals there also were such bastions of leftist values like Bloomberg and Buttigieg. Which still would not matter because Biden got more votes than all the other candidates combined.
Which once again brings us to the question, where are all the Bernie voters that are suppose to bring his victory? Do they don't know how to vote, do they too apathetic to do that or do they just not exist?

Well, he didn't personally kill people, so all his crimes were actually speaking. Well, sometimes writing.

What funny is everyone knows for a fact what lesson they should've learned, and if you ask 3 people they will give you 5 contradicting answers, every single one of which will be the most important strategy advice that stupid dems don't see. It will usually can be boiled into "They need to focus on this specific issue and only on it, to the detriment of all the others".

That's definitionally not what the word means. But you probably believe that you can predict the streaks in slot machines so I am pretty sure I'm wasting my time here

Not understanding the difference between the game of skill and the game of chance is exactly the grasp on reality that I expected from you based on this thread.

Which is why so many day traders end up going bankrupt.

Well yeah, so do most of the gamblers, but some miraculously don't, but we don't believe that playing rouletts is a skill now. Incidentally, moat of the people who consistently gamble but don't go bankrupt are people who have more money than it's possible to lose in one sitting.
Playing stonks follows exactly the same logic.
