    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?

        The electoral college heavily favors Republicans who have lost almost all contests since Reagan in 1980 and half the time been handed the office because the only thing that counts is the EC vote.

        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.

        Source? The way I remember it Bernie didn’t get enough votes.

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

        Out of the last 5 elections they won 3.
