Um, Bernie? He was quite pro-labor, he just couldn't get enough votes to beat Clinton. Then again, neither could Trump, but here we are.

- mulmen 10y agoBernie didn't make it to the general election so he never ran against Trump. Trump won the election by getting votes that mattered. We use an electoral system, not a popular vote. If the popular vote mattered both candidates would have run different campaigns so voter behavior would have also changed. It's possible that Trump would have still won the election if the popular vote were the deciding factor.
