    Liberals still hating on Bernie supporters and refusing to accept the idea that voters wanted a shake up of the system, rather than a female version of the status quo establishment left?

    …so now we’re stuck with a right wing shake up to the system instead.

      They’re going to keep pissing on others like this and continue to be surprised when their candidates don’t get elected. It will always be someone else’s fault.

        If Bernie was so popular why couldn’t he beat Hillary Clinton or Biden in the Primaries?

        Or was that someone else’s fault?

          Because the DNC put their thumbs on the scales and did everything they could to lock him out of the process while doing the opposite for Clinton.

          If the chosen, status quo DNC candidates are so popular, why do they keep losing or nearly losing all their elections?

            Did they take his name off the ballot?

            Did they change the vote totals?

            Did they forbid him from campaigning?

            They just ‘put their thumbs on the scales’? What does that even mean? They did ‘everything they could to lock him out of the process’ while letting him campaign and participate in the process? All your examples are vague as fuck, bro.

              Lemmy like Reddit is a circlejerk.

              Bernie lost because less people voted for him.

              If it wasn’t for the undemocratic caucuses, he would have lost earlier.

          More friendly fire. I did vote against the fascists. And you continuing to laud blame on everyone else instead of introspecting on how you can make “not fascism” a more attractive message only hurts the cause.

          You’re doing harm instead of good. That’s the point.

                Half of the comment you responded to looks like it is in a different language. So you claiming the answer to my question is obvious looks like you’re dodging my question.

            Even if they genuinely sold me oit for something as impersonal aa a dollar off gas, that isn’t any better. It’s actually almost worse. I might get black bagged because some white asswhipe decided my life was worth maybe a dollar off gas.

              You are so sure I’m some strawman that you’ve imagined or been conditioned to identify you’re attacking someone who is an ally, and you should reflect on that.

          You’re requiring the entire American populace to have the same level of being informed as yourself in order for this plan to work. In the real world, lots of people are incredibly ignorant of the actual political situation in the US. The democrats need to adjust their messaging to get those who aren’t politically engaged but vote. That means speaking on the material reality for the average person and discussing how to solve those issues. That means EMBRACING MORE PROGRESSIVE POLICIES.

          Yeah, if you know a leftist who stayed home because Harris wasn’t left enough, shame the fuck out of them. But that isn’t the same as saying Harris lost because she didn’t embrace the left. Most Americans don’t know they’re left-leaning because anything “socialist” must be evil.
