Back to 2014 vibes
I'm inclined to agree as far as saying that Bernie '16 would be heavily handicapped by Congress (probably made worse [potentially far worse] by '18) while Bernie '20 would have the opportunities to make much of the same gains that we've seen.Hot take of the century; I don't think Bernie should've won back in 2016.
Two terms of Democrat liberalism would've meant a muted reception to Sanders' plans for Medicare for All and other economic initiatives, not to mention the fear mongering the GOP could've done with a proper responsible COVID lockdown period. Trump, by contrast was the perfect system shock for middle America to recognise that, yes, actually, the Republicans are not only bad at their jobs, but actively psychotic and self-interested.
On top of that you have the Democrats rallying behind Hillary Clinton. Clinton is the smug brunch neoliberalism distilled, like the water of life from Dune or some shit. The DNC going full-cock-and-balls for her ascendancy means a Bernie primary victory in 2020 gives Democratic Socialism a mandate. It gives it all a chance to show that not only does it work but that people want it. No more compliancy with the establishment pro-capital order. Biden's election has settled into a simulacrum of Obama-era normalcy, business as usual but with little bon mots for the Union workers. If the opposition wasn't trying to enact progroms against trans people he wouldn't be giving the Unions a second thought.

There's gotta be some, surely? Dugin and his Eurasianist movement are pretty much a gateway to the dark enlightenmentMy only issue with it is that I have no idea if Russian Nick Land """kids""" exist but the concept is solid.
Maybe, but Dugin is already kinda on the fringe and from the few times I have frequented zetnik/neo-Nazi-adjacent Telegram I haven't seen any mentions of Nick Land beyond his own English-language channelThere's gotta be some, surely?

I like to think I'm finally getting the hang of these boxes (especially the maps)
For your purposes: the "font" used by Wiki election maps is DejaVu Sans Bold, though technically that's a result of the rasterization they use on the original vector maps.I like to think I'm finally getting the hang of these boxes (especially the maps)
My only complaint is that I'd think that Bayh would be doing way better in the west, and way worse in the south. Otherwise, based AF!!!! LFGI like to think I'm finally getting the hang of these boxes (especially the maps)
