Well, our "left" party instead decided to call Bernie Sanders racist during the primaries and do everything they could, twice, to keep him from winning their primary. So, it's not just racist voting for Trump that does this. The entire political establishment is absolutely terrified of an actual leftist running on the Democratic ticket for president.

Because once every 4 years when Americans actually pay attention to politics for a month or two, they would overwhelmingly vote for a leftist pushing progressive working class policies. No matter how "racist" they are. Racist in this country also have had someone they know experience crippling medical debt.

The 30% of this country that votes for racism and bigotry is the only group of people that actually see their policy positions get passed. The rest of us got garbage healthcare reform, more wars, more police state and surveillance, oh, and a genocide from the "not racist" party.

The racist bigots are the only ones with a lot of motivation to go to the polls. At least they get something for taking time off work to go vote.

“What do you tell voters who are new to the process who say this makes them feel like it’s all rigged?” Tapper asked the DNC chair.

“Unpledged delegates exist really to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don’t have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists,” Wasserman Schultz calmly explained.

Fuck Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Fuck the DNC. They literally worked against the will of the people to install an establishment candidate and told the world they did it. This is not democracy. This is the event that radicalized me.

Don't forget the Democratic National Convention ratfucking Bernie twice. Establishment Democrats can't let progressives get into power because it threatens their own, since Dems and Cons share a lot of the same donors (AIPAC, etc.).

Been watching this again, it's nice to absorb something positive for a change. Gonna have to find something with the same tone to binge after this

Netherlands here. Where should we apply for this US tax paid DEI grant?

On his business perhaps, this is also bribe territory. Big time.

Fist in the "get fucked in the ass* konga line.

No you mistook their meaning. They said "Us first". Everyone thought they meant the USA but the oligarchs literally mean "us".

You didn’t see that little wording, “American billionaires first”
