Bernie threatens their way of life, which is making money doing nothing of note.
Shouldn’t that tell you something? Both parties share the same end game, they just want to go about it differently. They want to win and we have to lose to make that happen. Bernie actually wanted to fix the problems Americans deal with. None of the others think you deserve it.
Maybe stating the obvious here: their interests are more aligned with Trump than with Bernie.
Just sadness washes my body these days.
We desperately need electoral reform. There’s no issue with moderates existing. The issue is that currently the choice is either moderates or fascists. And the fascists are quite adept at portraying the moderates as authoritarian communists.
What a profound lack of any knowledge of legislative history.
I’ll admit it’s a bit of hyperbole but the amount of effort they put into shutting Bernie out left me with quite the sour taste.
He isn’t in the DNC and they still include him in their presidential primaries, if anything it seems unfair how much preferential treatment he gets compared to other third parties.
They didn’t include him out of kindness but because excluding him would alienate a huge part of their base. They publicly let him in and then behind the scenes made sure he wouldn’t get far.
Recent events have shown clearly how much more public support Bernie is able to pull compared to those deluded old establishment types in the DNC. Schumer keeps yapping the same old platitudes while their numbers keep falling. Meanwhile Bernie’s selling out stadiums even in red states.
He did get far. Millions of people voted for him, he won many districts, and then lost the primaries due to the fact that millions more people voted for Hillary and for Biden.
Keep on toeing that party line. It’s doing wonders for the DNC.
Whats being anti-establishment doing for you? You enjoy having Trump?
Trump is a rival in the same sports league. Bernie sometimes dares to question whether the league should even exist
It still baffles me that Cory Booker spoke through the night to inspire people…and then voted to confirm Trump appointees anyway. I do not understand what goes through these people’s heads.
Performative Politics.
In plenty of countries the Democrats would be considered a right wing party, the US does not have a true left party
Create one, and all it will do is suck away Democratic votes, further emboldening Repblicant fascists.
What if…. (and hear me out) the Democrats were actually left wing?
I feel like after what happened in Germany recently that doesn’t hold as much water. If the average left wants to defend socialized healthcare and tax the rich, then the Dems are left.
Democrats don’t want to do either of that. Folks like AOC and Bernie should realistically be on their own party.
Imagine still simping for your guy after he lost his primary almost ten years ago.
“Imagine believing in something”
I’m as anti-conspiracy as anyone with two braincells to rub together, but simply believing that Bernie was unfairly treated and that he would have been a good choice for the country does not a simp make. It just means you had the gumption to believe in the consistency of a politician who’d spent some 30 years walking-the-walk and talking-the-talk.
The nomination was not stolen from Bernie - even getting within ~10% of Clinton was a miracle. Bernie was unfairly treated by the Dem party establishment - they did not want Bernie to win, and were not shy about that fact. These are not mutually exclusive positions.
That’s not the bad part it’s clinging to a now eighty-three year old as if he’s the only savior when he hasn’t even spent the time mentoring someone to take over his own seat much less built a movement it kind of sad.
I’m a fan of term limits so he shouldn’t even be in government anymore we need someone with fresh ideas.
