Is Bidens campaign dead? (EDIT: Well, this was turned around completely.)

If you elect someone despite all the warning signs and the constant stream of information about their bad history. You deserve that someone as president and whatever they bring. It's not like it was 2 really good candidates who were sensible and championed the betterment of humanity, there was only one. And you chose the other guy. The guy who drags you to war, tries to cut social security, is an obstacle to your healthcare.

Also Socialism doesn't fail Europe is doing fine and I would hardly call roads, universal healthcare, public schools and universities, universal education, the post office, emergency services, etc a failure. And US is also socialist already. It's just corporate socialism because guess what, subsidies, grants and bailouts are also socialism. It gives people freedom to do things, not breed dependence. It provides economic freedom. The US is socalism for the rich while rugged individualism for the poor. Socialism has been successful in keeping democracy alive because pure capitalism devolves into oligarchy and plutocracy. Socialis has it's flaws but it's an awesome system and mixed with some capitalism, it is the best system humans have developed.

I’m from Canada and I understand a system that’s capitalist with socialist social services. That said Europe is by and large economically stagnated (the northern countries anyway). Don’t think Americans are really to get skyrocketed tax rates to pay for these initiatives. Cause it won’t just be the rich paying. Point being, Bernie had 2 tries and failed both times. There is a reason for this. His ideas are good on paper but the follow through has a lot of potential for disaster in implementation. 

Btw I don’t like trump, but from what I hear the economy is overall improved since he became president. Comment on that?

The economy is great for the rich and wealthy. For most people though, their wages haven't increased by more than 1%. That's how the US has been for decades now. The economy looks good because the rich are getting so much richer while the poor and working class are the same or poorer when accounting for inflation.

Also Bernie didn't lose because people don't support his ideas. His policies are still widely favoured looking at exit polls. It's this mythical"electibility" argument that he lost.
