Nonsense. Bernie lost because he is unpopular among Black voters. And polls consistently show that Democratic voters prioritize other issues over labor.

If people really wanted Dems to prioritize labor issues, then Dems who prioritized labor issues would win primaries.

Texas Dems were bound to go home sooner or later. Most people can't pay $15000 / month indefinitely to stop gerrymandering.

If you think you would be a better legislator, then go ahead and run for office.

If you can't be bothered to run, then you know why they are in office.

You can make your case against Newsom during the primary.

If Democrats generally agree with you, then someone else will be nominated. If Democrats generally disagree with you, then why would you expect them to do what you want?

"Explicit" is literally defined as "fully revealed or expressed without vagueness, implication"

Which makes sense, because "explicit" and "implicit" are antonyms. Do you think that something can "explosively implode"?

Either way, he is either explicitly considering it or he implied that he's considering it.

If you must interpret the meaning of his words based on additional context, then he was implying.

If there is no need for interpretation, then he was being explicit.

You can't explicitly imply something. You can either imply or be explicit.

That's not explicit. At most, it strongly implies he's running.

Pretty much whenever someone ends a sentence with "if you know what I mean", they are implying something.

Even Jon Stewart cannot defy the rules of logic.

Either he explicitly said "I am running for president" or he implied it by saying something other than "I am running for president."
