He is also bad at convincing people he is right or changing peoples minds. Bernie Sanders is…

Counter-Counter-Point: being a good President is more than the sum of your policy positions, and Bernie would be a terrible President, which is why he shouldn't run.

The organizers of these “conferences” that try to bring “alt-right” Internet trolls together in the real world never seem to understand that the Master Race’s ability to attend is entirely dependent on the availability of their parents’ car keys.
