    Bernie lost because millions more people voted for the other candidates in 2016. The fact that he was even allowed to run on the DNC ticket despite his third party status is truly the opposite of fucking.

      We already discussed this in another thread. The 2020 race was decided by Obama/DNC forcing multiple candidates to drop out. After Super Tuesday the chances were slim for Bernie to have any chance at winning and there was no point in voters coming out for the remaining primaries.

      Stop spreading bullshit.

      What about the complicity in the Fascist takeover of our Government? The billionaires that back the DNC would LOVE to try out fascism

        If that were true they could be reaping the benefits of supporting the Trump Admin directly, like Walczak and Tim Cook have.

        The fact of the matter is that the billionaires aren’t a united front, either, because some of them are smart enough to realize their fortunes mean jack fucking shit in the face of a dictator who can take whatever he wants.

        If we had enough DNC to impeach then he would be impeached, if we had enough to remove then he would be removed. We’re in this situation to begin with because the GOP have all three chambers and the SCOTUS. None of this shit would be happening otherwise.

          GOP got there because the DNC has failed to embrace progressive policies. If the mainstream dems fought for single payer healthcare we’d have a blue majority for 60 years. The fucking bought and paid for corporate shills did this to America. THATS what I mean by complicit!! They’ve shit all over every idea that would actually make life better for working people in favor of the table scraps of billionaires and the GOP filled the void with their mindless nationalism!
