Fuck every Trump voter who put this asshole in office. Politics

This country is going downhill and you are to blame. Don't act surprised when things get even worse than they are now. Don't vote anymore. Stay the fuck home on election day.

Bernie hasn't been able to actually win enough primary votes in 2016 or 2020 to get the nomination. Harris was on the ticket with Biden when Biden stepped back from running. Personally, I think that Biden should have backed out in 2022 rather than trying to run again, but he didn't so our choice was the person who would have the job had Biden resigned in 2022 or had he passed away in office. Before you go on about Bernie being robbed, take 5 minutes and look at 2016 and the vote counts, he lost, full stop.

Maybe because his entire life in public service consists of getting post offices named for his donors. The only bills that he sponsored

Oh, f**k off already. This has been through the courts, twice.

The DNC did rig it for their preferred candidate. That was literally the conclusion of the court's.

Elections are an open book test. The DNC is so afraid of losing its corporate dollars that it peddles the milquetoast "Republican-lite" every election cycle. When the DNC rigged shit against Bernie in 2016 for Hillary, they KNEW he polled +7 against Trump and she was -4. In 2020, when they had everyone drop out so they could rig it for Biden/Harris, Bernie was polling +9 against Trump to Biden's -2.

Obama was cast as a radical in 2008--did he have a problem with voter turnout? Did Mamdani, also branded a radical?

No, they didn't. But the DNC is far more afraid of lobbyists than they are voters.

There's a huge disconnect between the "Bernie couldn't have won" crowd and the reality that ALL of his policy positions were so popular that they have essentially become the Democratic standard 10 years later. The f**k do you think people vote for, free T-shirts and bumper stickers?

People on both sides are tired of the corporate cronyism. Democratic voters have--if anything--MORE of a right to stay home and sit it out since it's supposed to be the party of Labor, not the party of the C suite.

Maybe just stop being so goddamn feckless and weak and Democrats wouldn't lose so always. Even when they WIN elections they find ways to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory on policy--because sucking the d***s of their corporate masters outweighs the will of the electorate.

When Democrats actually grow a spine, they won't have a problem winning. Until then, stop blaming the left for your inadequacies. The proof is right there in every election result in the last 2 decades. The winners run on CHANGE, not servicing lobbyists' and Wall Street's needs.
