    Non-American here, is it too late for him to be the Democrat candidate in the upcoming election?

      I doubt Bernie himself will but technically it’s not too late. The Democratic national convention hasn’t happened yet and after the debate there’s been a renewed push to pick someone else

      Our Democrats would never let him win, and that’s before you even get to the Republicans. Republican heads might actually explode if we elected a progressive who dared to call themselves a Democratic Socialist.

      Meanwhile, Democrats are also crushed under the thumb of all the money big business pours into bribery lobbying, and they have already made it clear twice that they won’t let him get on the ballot.

      We’ll never get progressive policies or a progressive president unless the progressives infiltrate D to the extent maga has infiltrated R.
