Bernie Sanders is much to blame for the advancement of clown world. He came at a perfect time where neoliberals were embracing globohomo, particularly after gay marriage was legalized across the country. Post-Gamergate, rise of SJWs, and the first time we heard about tranny issues in such a big scale.
His policies weren’t full globohomo in 2016, but they energized a swarm of young voters, so much so that even after Hillary—who was already chosen—“won” the primaries it became evident that she, too, had to take some of those stances. Bernie and his ilk also shifted the 2020 primaries to be possibly the most far-left, globohomo shit we’ve seen in politics.
