Trump wasn't elected in 2016?
He was elected at the end of 2016. Drag is talking about the rest of that year, when America had just had 8 years of Obama. Bernie could have beat Trump in 2016, if we had pushed hard enough. The will to choose a progressive candidate finally came... In 2024 when it was useless. Some people just don't adapt fast enough, even when the stakes are clear.
