    Here from PA to tell you you’re nuts, Bernie would not have won.

    Also: Downvote. Since we’re not mature enough to handle actual downvotes anymore.

      Perhaps you’d like to elaborate?

      In this case I actually think the downvotes are appropriate. It’s not that you’re presenting a different opinion but you’re not adding any reasoning or substance to your claim

        If they can deny a genocide is occuring in Gaza they can deny that Bernie would have won with the same intellectual rigor.

      Didn’t pre-stroke Fetterman win in PA? Often he was compared to Bernie, although maybe the media got that one wrong considering what stances Fetterman leans on these days.

        He did, but my opinion as someone who voted for him: he’s really not accomplished anything, hasn’t been the same after the stroke. I’m told his impairment is simply audio/visual but in my mind his judgment is impaired.

        When he won, he was running against a clown (Dr. Oz) who only narrowly beat McCormick. (McCormick just recently defeated long-time incumbent Casey and is considered much more serious and competent.) I know many people who based their vote for Fetterman on the the issue of recreational marijuana legalization (even though he doesn’t have a role in accomplishing that at the state level as a US senator).

        Anyway, I would not expect Fetterman to be re-elected, if he even runs.

      Here from PA to disagree. I believe that if Bernie had won in 2016, his VP would be our president-elect right now, and Trump would’ve never attempted a return to politics.
