Bernie was the most liked politician in the country at the time, fwiw. He had net favorability even among Republicans.

Dems: we need to appeal to centrist republican voters

Bernie: yo I can do that

Dems: lol go away

Maybe it was a fever dream, but can someone confirm if there were some liberals that were discussing the progressive case for Trump when it looked like Bernie would win in 2020?

Point is, libs would rather lose to Trump than win with Bernie.

Damn those three weeks or so in 2020 were an insane high. Then.super tuesday AND COVID hit like a motherfucker.

Very possible.

I don't remember anymore but I still know Trump supporters who think Trump is progressive on economic issues.

Most economically progressive president of our lives! He literally sent us checks with his name on it. Licked the stamps himself because he loves America

I kinda remember that too. Or maybe it was just people like us prophesying based on how the UK reacted to Corbyn. A lot of that time is mired in a haze to me.

If that happened it's probably in the NYT op-ed backlog.
