      Thanks, I’m in my 50s. I remember. I also remember the electability politics used in that election on the democratic side by corporate media to force a right of center candidate. He also didn’t beat any one in primaries in this election, which is a different election.

        That’s a lot of words for “my politics are not as popular as I wish they were”.

          You have a lot of ad hominem and poorly backed up arguments. Electability is a term that was used a ton by corporate media to give Biden an edge over candidates that polled better than him in hypothetical general elections with Trump. It is fact. You can look it up but you don’t want to learn. Goodbye.
