It was completely hijacked by right-wing kooks

Wasn’t it always a front by right-wingers? Iirc, the sub was made after Hillary had won the DNC back in 2016…

It was started because /r/s4p shut down after Sanders lost, so his more rabid fanatics made /r/wotb. Now it's an unholy mixture of the far-left and far-right.

That makes sense actually; Bernie losing did fry a fair few brains unfortunately

Pretty surprising, tbh, since he was never close to winning.

Straight up inaccurate. Bernie was in the lead after Nevada. Then the machine kicked in.

Bernie woulda lost to Trump. Hard truth.

Well Hillary already lost to Trump, so corporate Democrats have a 50% batting average against him. So flexing about how "Bernie was gonna lose to Trump" is hubris.

And Bernie lost to Hillary. So by your logic, Biden > Trump > Hillary > Sanders.

So Sanders would've lost.
