Ex-fucking-actly.
It's amazing how many liberals will berate leftists to "vote blue no matter who" out of one side of their mouths and then screech that "Bernie couldn't win" out the other, even though the exact same arguments they tried to use in favor of Kamala would have equally applied to Bernie if he had been the nominee.
And the reality is, Bernie would've have peeled off huge swathes of disaffected/anti-establishment/accelerationist Trump voters that Kamala had no hope of reaching (especially after pivoting towards conservatism).
I preferred both Hillary and Kamala. I even voted for Hillary in her primary against Obama. Bernie just doesn't do it for me, I don't find him likeable or persuasive.
But I'm not a fucking idiot, and I wouldn't screech or berate anyone because that's not productive either. I vote in every election, large or small, and I obviously chose the Blue Nominee in all the Presidential elections. Even Biden, and he was the hardest to support.
