Well you're refusing to educate me if I am wrong. Point to a single action the DNC took that cost Bernie the election. Biden and Clinton got more votes so won. Why are you hung up on some states?

I'm not sure why you keep instructing me to mouth off, kinda weird.

I showed you, the DNC collaborated with Hillary. Read up on that collaboration behind closed doors.

I'm hung up on Biden winning states that didn't matter for the general election because they went to Trump anyways. Biden ran on being the "safe" option even though Bernie was polling better.

The fact is, the DNC won't move left because they need donations from wealthy Capitalists.

So your problem is that we should only care about the votes of Democrats in safe blue states? Is the idea we shouldn't count the votes of Democrats in red states in the primaries? This makes no sense.

Yeah the DNC being meaningfully anti Bernie is QAnon level conspiracy nonsense. At a basic level of analysis it makes no sense. I've read up on it plenty and it only confirms this. Ideological, partisan nonsense that is honestly embarrassing for the left wing.

I would vote Bernie and I think he should have been President. But he didn't get the fucking votes so he isn't. Tough luck.

Nah, you just don't understand primaries nor do you understand electoralism, and dismissing it at QAnon bullshit because reality disagrees with you just proves me right.

Ha ok then. You always know someone has it right when they say you're wrong, but now how.

I already told you. Bernie would've beaten Trump regardless, Biden was only popular in states that ended up going to Trump, and carried that momentum through the Primary process. It's likely that Bernie would've won flat out had the primaries been simultaneous, plus there's the previous DNC fuckery you keep walking back and pretending didn't exist.

All of that is to say that the DNC and major news outlets absolutely massage the narrative in favor of the most bland and benign Capitalist they can, in this case Biden, despite Bernies policies being far more popular.

It's quite simple, and no matter how hard you defend the current system, it's fucked regardless and designed to change as little as possible.

This is basically just paragraphs of cope at this point. Trump people have a similar set of arguments. "The mainstream media blah blah blah", "The SYSTEM is fucked", "the DNC blah blah blah" same shit, different coloured hat. If only you guys had the grace of Sanders himself to know when you lost.

None of this has any substance. What-ifs, would-haves, and conspiracy.

I really don't know what to tell you, you only screech and squawk without actually countering anything I've brought up. You call it "cope" when your only tactic is to compare what I'm saying to Trump supporters. Guess radlibs are gonna radlib, I suppose.

I outlined all already but you're delusional so I'm just memeing now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You didn't, lmao. You're akin to a flat-earther, thinking that money doesn't control politics. Just look up the Koch Brothers and see what they've done to destroy the minds of American voters.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's a good job Bernie's campaign raised more of it than Clinton's then

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You do realize that I never said it was about which campaign raised the most money, correct? Clinton was an establishment dem and had the rest of the establishment dems behind her, who in turn were bought by large Capitalists in one way or another.

You're legitimately a flat-earther, believing that every election is sacred and that the media and who's funding the media and who's funding political parties doesn't matter.

Again, check out the Heritage Foundation, the Koch Brothers, the entire Oil industry, and so forth.

Ok! Together we'll overthrow these awful capitalists! I'd say we should give two votes to every leftist, but they still probably wouldn't use them lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Maybe one day you'll say something of substance. For what its worth, leftists absolutely do vote, the parties do not reflect the will of the people.
