This has been my hope as well. The voices of the extreme (especially the Left, but some on the right) have gotten way to loud. If you looked at this election based on comments supporting Bernie, you would think he would win in a landslide. The realty is that his followers are all engaging in circular reasoning and way overestimating their support. They don’t even know his own policies he wants to implement (I.e. changes to the tax codes and inheritance) and focus on his pie in the sky promises that he can’t pay for at all M4a, forgiving all student loans, free healthcare for all illegals. 

I will give Bernie credit tho, he helped the democrats figure out what was gonna happen if they keep going down the road they have been on, and most of them realized that socialism isn’t something they want. Bernie has also gotten less honest with age, and is trying to trick people into thinking he’s a ‘Nordic style’ democratic socialist when no such thing exists. 

Anyway, to say I’m happy Bernie got curb stomped is an understatement. That man has been on the dole way too long and it’s time for his 15 minutes to end. 

At least with Biden I just have to worry about some higher taxes and not straight up communism.
