personally adore her, and agree she'd make a wonderful chief executive. But all the Bernie shit you conjectured about is pure tripe. Nothing but. I think Kamala would be better served if she weren't included in comparisons with Bernie Sanders. She's a progressive, but she's also a rock solid Democrat. Nobody, including you, knows that "he would have been president as he would have easily overcome the oppressive Super Delegate system that the Democrats have stupidly kept in place". Our super delegate system did exactly what it was intended to do, and I have absolutely no regrets about that.

Bernie's appeal was limited to folk like you. He had near zero appeal to POC, and he's been at it for decades, so another year wouldn't have made a thimble full of difference. Since you seem to want to re-fight the last battle and introduce some (let's call it)creative conjecture, I'm not sure Kamala would be want to be associated with this o.p., and if she does, I'm not sure I'd want to be associated with her.
