Ok I must be rusty in my history, afaik teddy was fairly popular toward the end of his first term and won reelection easily

and i meant specifically the time he wanted to run for a third, lost the nom and formed a third party. It didn't go great for him and it would not have gone great for bernie

So when did Bernie get to be president for 8 years I'm missing that part?

Or are there differences between the 1950s and 2025?

In reality most people want a 3rd party
