History would be exactly what happened with Ralf Nader - everyone blaming him for the outcome.

I Nader's case it was the de facto most consequential election imo - Al Gore x Bush. We would be fighting climate change properly and the terrorism response would've been significantly different.

Bernie was pragmatic and lived to fight another day. And the progressive movement gained momentum.

There is nothing "progressive" about identity politics.

Ok, now you're showing your true colors. You don't care about real issues, you care about how people live their lives. Have fun with that mindset.

Identity politics is just liberal nonsense that distracts from the class struggle. Listening to these people on TV is unbearable. All they can talk about is gender and race. They think that is the only thing that matters. While in fact most people are way more concerned about wages, jobs, and economic opportunities. It's no wonder they can't win an election. The cherry on the cake is how they accused black or hispanic people who voted for Trump as "sexist". These people are completely out of touch with reality.
