Bernie beating Trump is a nice fantasy, but it wouldn't happen either.
This election was an information war, and the Democrats fought it like they're in another century. And they're going to lose again if they think sensible policy, however revolutionary and in-touch, and hopeful TV ads are how you win elections.
They need their own form of MAGA. And they need to flood and poison the internet and airwaves just like the Republicans did.

You don't know this. The DNC doesn't know this (otherwise, why did Harris take such a beating?). There certainly is an argument for that, but it's no way guaranteed. Sure, he might lose some finance bros in NY, but Bernie would definitely speak exactly to the people in the swing states. People who look at Trump to fix their economic problems without anything concrete.
