The right-wing smear machine would've gone into overdrive. You give the average American a choice between a socialist and a fascist, they're going to choose the fascist.

A) >60% of voters are over 35 per most exit polls
B) Wait until every social media company tweaks their algorithm to favor anti-Bernie content.
Corporate America wouldn't have given him a fair chance.
