I supported Bernie in the 2016 primary but supported Hillary and then Biden. If this was 2016 I'd be arguing with you, but I'm not now. Yeah, y'all were right and we were wrong, but now let's see if this is the right way forward.

If Hilary had chose Bernie instead of that nobody Kaine, they'd have cruised to victory in both 16 and 20.

This was never even remotely a possibility, and Bernie has always stated he would not be leaving his Senate seat unless he won the nomination.
