I don't think Bernie would have made gas this high with a war...

It's a long-honored tradition that liberals fuck over progressives.
Jesus, what more could possibly be said about this a full ten years after?
The article is really about how the situation informs the current landscape and strategy for 2026 and 2028, but I guess you didn't read it before commenting
Ten years is awkwardly too recent to have emotional distance from the consequences and too late to be timely.
Since they're still beating the dead horse I've got something different to say:
Bernie Sanders lost the primaries by Millions of votes. Not Thousands, Not Hundreds of Thousands, but Millions.
He wasn't even a DNC member and he got invited in the first place.
Sure, but he was already losing by an overwhelming majority before anyone voted. Hillary had something like 40 delegates already.
So you're saying that if Bernie started with 40 more delegates that MILLIONS more people would have voted for him instead? Fat chance, pal.
If it doesn’t matter, then why not just make it fair?
If you want me to come up with a reason why the person who receives millions more votes should become the representative then clearly you oppose democracy and idgaf about your opinion on anything.
Being chosen by the people is what is fair.
Isn't that the popular vote?...
Popular vote: HRC: 16,917,853 Bernie: 13,210,550
Percentage: 55.2%, 43.1%
We've been discussing how Bernie lost the popular vote this entire time. It was a brutal defeat where he was 2 digit percent margin. Even worse, in 2020 he lost to Joseph Biden when Biden literally doubled his vote.
Thanks. Not American so not very knowledgeable but appreciate the clarification.
There is a concerted effort to keep everyone in the dark about this, including Americans, so it's totally understandable.
Indeed. Considering her performance in the primary, I was certain she was going to win the general. I was so sure, in fact, that I did a little oopsie and forget to vote. Happens to us all, right?
You're the one who sat out voting against a guy who was pretty much a known rapist, so that's your call.
It was an accident. You can't blame me for an accident.
Some people need a constant reminder of the type of people they support
Oh come the fuck on.
It's been a decade at this point. Bernie lost because he had fewer votes than a former First Lady, and senator who has been a part of the party for decades.
Bernie lost because, in his entire tenure in the senate, he didn't want to join the team. He sat off on the sidelines (voting with the democrats but not being a part of the apparatus), and then decided he wanted to be the captain of the football team.
Did the super delegates favor the establishment choice? Yeah. They favored her over the guy who joined the party that summer to run for president. Is this really that surprising to people?
It's been a fucking decade. If online liberals put half as much energy into organizing that they did complaining about Bernie losing then trump would never have been fucking elected in the first place.
Ah look, people who want division in the left, right before the generals. I wonder what their true intentions might be. /s
