Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    Bernie would have won had he not been blatantly cheated in the 2016 DNC primary. We’d be in a MUCH different timeline had he won.

    Edit: Corbyn was done dirty in the UK too.

      The defeatist in me wants to downvote you. The optimist in me also wants to downvote you. The currently aware bit of me reminds me that this isn’t reddit, and downvotes aren’t a thing here. The rest of me is upst because there’s a non-zero chance you’re right, and the entire world would be better off.

      I find it weird that I support Bernie wholeheartedly, even though I am a Trump supporter (yeah, I can hear them coming)

        It’s because you’re a populist. They’re both populist politicians. Trump is right-wing, Bernie is left-wing.

        Though, the question of whether either (especially trump) actually believe in their populist positions is debatable.

      Bernie sold out and Hillary still lost. I respect his body of work but he wasn’t the answer.

      I think the closest thing we’ve had to an amazing presidential candidate in the last 12 years was Andrew Yang.
