      Bidens why we’re here dude.

      If instead of insisting Biden be the candidate from 2023-2024, if we could have had a real primary, quite literally ALL of this could have been prevented.

          Ok. So you are a cynic for whom no answer is going to be good enough.

          Maybe just don’t share any of your perspectives or opinions in the future then, considering the manner of your opinion did direct harm to our ability to stop Trump when we had the chance?

              So you don’t disagree that your actions supported Trumps re-election, and you plan on continuing them?

              You should focus on poop jokes.

                  Its not about who you voted for. Its about what you do with your words, here.

                  You are doing work that directly contributes to fascists winning. So just keep it to your fucking self.

                    I just explained that I voted against the fascists and that’s what I’ve said too.

                    Do you not agree that people should vote Democrat for the upcoming midterms?

                    That is the most retarded shit I have seen in awhile. Because he didn’t vote for Trump. He helped Trump? Huh?

        And if they hadn’t put their thumb on the scale for Hillary in 2016, and she hadn’t decided to reach for some imaginary middle razor thin between corporate liberals and fascists, Trump would just be another dumb clown that tried to be a Republican presidential candidate.

            I feel that, for a lot of folks, he was the last candidate that promised an actual brighter future to believe in. It’s a shame corporate donors pushed him out of the race, as it left a lot of folks feeling that their voices would never be heard. I think it’s even fair to say that his dismissal by the Democrat party directly led to the voter resentment that helped Trump win the elections.

                Ah, but we must move on from that as well. The important stuff to pay attention to will only begin in 2032. Nothing until then matters.

                  This is what makes me lose hope in democracy.

                  Bernie had no chance of winning a general election when he couldn’t even win a primary that’s why Trump wanted to run against him all three times and now there’s people comparing that with ICE occupying a city and murdering American citizens.

                    You have it ass-backwards.

                    Losing faith in democracy would be acknowledging that the amount of huge money and influence took power out of voters hands, choosing Hilary for them. You’re arguing that people shouldn’t vote for the candidate they support because of a system inherently lacking in actual democratic power. You’re supporting something that isn’t inherently democratic.

                    You’re right that he would have lost if he somehow won the primary. Both the Democrats and Republicans would oppose him, which is impossible to endure, unless Bernie could enact a Trump-style takeover. And the superdelegates thing among others makes that rather unlikely.

                    So instead we get good cop bad cop in our elections, and a corporate puppet becomes President no matter what. Which is why I like to vote third party. Giving a vote that makes me an enemy of the entire country is too much fun to pass up.

                    He did not lose the primary by democratic means, but by Democratic means. His primary performance cannot be used to gauge his performance in the general.

                    However, I agree that there’s no point complaining about the corporate Democrats using their power to win. The thing for people who believed in Bernie to do is to get power, and use it to defeat the corporate Democrats.

            MAGA/Trump is still complaining about Obama, tan suits and Nobel Peace Prizes. Your point being?

        Well, I guess we showed those dems what they get. Too bad there won’t be another election. Gosh, wish we all knew that was coming.
