This isn't even close to true. A majority of the candidates Bernie endorsed either lost their primary or lost their election.

Bernie Sanders will Run Again in 2020

I really want to see what your posts would've looked like in 2007 and if you would've said the same thing about her then. Like I wonder if these factors are as meaningful as we think they are.
It's sarcasm related to actual comments women who supported Bernie in the primaries got from Hillary supporters. Typically it would be a dude saying it too.
But but but but old people named Bernie!
Is it sad that i've legit heard people say Pelosi should run and in the same breath condemn Bernie for his age?
Trump won due to having signature issues like the wall. Traditional candidates like Hillary or Kamala who are out of touch don't really have a chance against him, they don't represent a breath of fresh air that is needed in the political sphere. This is why I hope in the distant future we're gonna see AOC take office.
I was for Obama back then, but as much as I disliked Hillary (and I despised her) Bernie was on another level.
edit: Against Obama she had those same advantages, too. Because she spent time building that up, she didn't start during the campaign. Obama had to pull off a miracle to win against her, and he was more of an insider to the party than Bernie ever was.
The 2 i knew were in Florida as well. I also knew a Fl guy that voted Gary Johnson but wasnt a bernie supporter, he just thought he was a genius for some reason for voting 3rd party...he even said it was 'genius'. See the thing with being a part of club 'fucking stupid' is they are in fact stupid.
Apparently the President of the United States, the leader of the most powerful country in the world, has no effect on foreign countries... that shit is news to me i guess.
I have no problem with primaries and that is why I don't say candidate should not run when they announce. Some people on this board and across the internet don't seem to understand that with their "Candidate X should not run." Vote Bernie in primaries, Dem nominee in General election, it is that simple for me.
You can think someone is competent and badass and still not think they should run for President.
For instance, I think Pelosi is competent and badass. I also don't think she should run for President.
I don't think this is true. I think you may be thinking of ourevolution endorsements or justice democrats. but you can see a list here: https://ballotpedia.org/Endorsements_by_Bernie_Sanders
it's showing the opposite of what you said.
edit: it just occurred to me that I may have misread your post. my bad if I did.

Legislative positions do not have the responsibilities the executive does. Different standards for different offices.
i learned that a while ago. i come here to see what fellow dems think and feel about shit. actually talking about substance here blows
The people calling for young blood are explicitly only talking about the presidency. Perfectly okay to have 80 year olds in every other position of power 😂
Trying to find a logical consistency in the hatred of Bernie isn't going to get you anywhere.
Old article but it still speaks to his character.

No, Trump won due to winning over racist white votes in the midwest by pretending to be a populist, a pretense he abandoned immediately upon taking office and then almost as quickly faced a massive electoral backlash from those people who wanted Medicare expansion... but not for black people. That's not "issues", that's just running on racism and populism together, which as we've seen in Europe, is a very popular combination!
lol, but I've already debunked the idea of Bernie Bros in other threads so that's out of the question
Lmao if there is one person with charisma its Biden. He has more charisma than any of the names you listed in your post (excluding Obama of course)
As well as the fact her successor got kicked out at the last minute, and there wasn't anybody else running who had the chops. Bernie hasn't been pulling off amazing feats of strategy like what she did when she won the Speakership, either.
Probably has more to do with being accustomed to ancient-ass congresspeople and Justices than thinking it's "perfectly okay."
Basically. That it extends to erasing the existence of minorities and women only compounds my frustration.
Why would a current speaker of the house run for president?
Um, that list is has 31 official endorsements with a total of 12 candidates who won their elections.
Harris and Warren aren't Hilary either. Bernie can beat either one of them IMO, neither has close to the political clout Clinton had in 2014/15.
Thread on views of Bernie broken down by race lines. Data taken from an Economist and YouGov Poll
Figured I'd post it here since we all love polls and charts and data graphs and that noise.
She wouldn't. That's not my point. But I think you knew that.
I just realized he said lost primary or lost the general. that's my mistake.
2 of 2 Senators he endorsed won.
5 of 15 House Reps he endorsed won.
2 of 8 Governors he endorsed won.
That's not exactly a stellar record for endorsements.
These numbers are meaningless because AA and women heavily skew Democratic...is the standard centrist response every time this data gets posted.
lol also literally the premise of thinkpieces written in 2016 about women who supported bernie sanders
Seems like a pretty decent track record when you consider that he was endorsing a lot of very left wing candidates running in primaries. No one sane would expect a 100% track record, but every primary victory helps further build a left wing coalition.
You don't think Bernie Bros are being overrepresented?
Yeah, the wall IS a racist populist policy, that's my point. He appeals to many racist Republicans who voted for him due to him having the balls to be overtly racist. It's his racist policies that got him elected. This is why traditional candidates like Kamala would never win against him.
My point stands.
And the worst thing is when you find thing that scroll across your screen like how Gary Johnson attended CPAC as a speaker and you just want to scream at them for how much of a fucking rube they are. Or their third party vote is basically as useful as not voting at all. Its just blurgh.
I'll take criticism that I'm rough about the whole meta of US politics but damnit one candidate is literally a cartoon villain.
Then I'll have to personally thank you for Trump and for pumping the SC with more conservatives as that will be likely to happen if Trump wins.
Eh. Still. They don't tend to care about facts so. *shrugging it*
Yeah I'm well aware. There was also that Clinton surrogate who spread it though I forget who.
And this is the necessary context for that chart, which the tweet alludes to.
The people he got in the swing states were racist I/Ds. Without the fake populist economic policy, it's just the racism, which isn't enough.
Or how about haters to match the opposites of Bernie Bros?
Right on queue
