The DNC is the only reason you're not currently enjoying a second-term Sanders and a sane Supreme Court.

Acknowledged. We circled the wagons around the wrong candidate twice in a row. Hillary Clinton was a well qualified candidate with likeability issues. Biden is a long time politician with equally good if not better qualifications than Clinton, he's just old. Bernie is older. Bernie aligns a hell of a lot closer to my beliefs than the other candidates out there. Bernie isn't in this race and has endorsed Biden, he's a wise man and usually is right on most topics. I'm going with Bernie on this one, vote Biden and start building the next generation of leaders, maybe that next leader is you.

It's amazing people don't see this for the propaganda it is coming from this user.

DNC gets caught committing fraud in their own primary

"No obviously it's because not enough people voted for Bernie in the primary"

mmm yes I wonder why that is

To those who disagree here are some articles from 2016

Everything would be perfect! And we would all be happy!

Parallel universe horseshit is really enlightened and helpful!

They really did think people were happy with how things had been going the last eight years.

The Obama-Trump voter clearly remains beyond the comprehension of a lot of people.

We know. Doesn't matter until we have ranked choice or the like. Only one side gives us even a glimmer of a chance at that, so we have one choice.

"It was the DNC!"

Oh cool, here I thought it was three and a half million Dem voters who were more right-wing than Bernie.

I voted for Bernie. I marched for Bernie. I donated to Bernie. I love Bernie, he's a fighter and an idealist, and the world would be better if politicians like him had more influence.

But the reason he lost in 2016 wasn't because of some nebulous DNC conspiracy. It's because this is still a very right-wing electorate, even in the Democratic Party (and especially in 2016), something critics are all-too-eager to point out at every moment in time except when it offers an opportunity to denigrate the legitimacy of the less-right-wing party running.

Curious.

Protest no voting is the reason why Hillary isn't finishing up her second term, with a solid 8 years of climate action, still having Roe, likely much better budget, likely hundreds of thousands of lives saved from covid, not facing project 2025, and who knows what else. Thanks protest no voters.

“A presidential election is not a Grammy Award contest for the best singer or entertainer. It’s about who has the best policies that impact our lives,” Sanders said. “I’m going to do everything I can to see that Biden gets reelected.” - https://apnews.com/article/biden-debate-democrats-trump-trapped-c10c872f8436966096b45b6089adee8b

Considering Mitch McConnell blocked Obama's last supreme court nomination for over a year until Trump was in office, changed senate rules to help nominate Gorsuch, and fast-tracked ACB at the end of Trump's term, anyone blaming the DNC for the current state of the supreme court is being completely disingenuous.

I love how the narrative focuses on 2016 and not 2020, where he lost all on his own.

It's good Lemmy is keeping me up to date on Russia's stance on US politics.

Apparently Putin is getting all of his minions to encourage voter apathy.

Obligatory (flashing lights epilepsy warning):

I love how the same people who bitch about swapping out Bernie Sanders for being too old are the same ones bitching about not swapping out Joe Biden.

Look. Figure out his age and get the Harris/Ocasio-Cortez government in after the election when the latter half can assume the VP spot for the first of her 4 terms. No one has any illusions about who's gonna be in power after this is done, which is why the fat, old, rich, lazy, white, men are whipping their moron followers into a frenzy to prevent this regime change.

Classic victim blaming.

The only reason we are here is because of Republican actions not Dem inactions.

That's literally not how reality works, OP.

Shame.

Snowden is a Kremlin asset.

Imagine cross posting the guy who's a known Kremlin stooge, even if it's only because they'd kill him if he wasn't.

You all could have voted in the Primary Elections in 2016 and 2020, but it seems like none of you do. All you do is complain about the result after almost nobody votes in the goddamn primaries.

And here I thought it was the Democrats who forgot the Midwest was still purple and planned the victory parade the minute it became clear Trump would be the Republican nominee.

Keep flapping your gums Russian troll.

Voters are the reason Bernie didn't get the nomination
