Liberals still hating on Bernie supporters and refusing to accept the idea that voters wanted a shake up of the system, rather than a female version of the status quo establishment left?
…so now we’re stuck with a right wing shake up to the system instead.
They’re going to keep pissing on others like this and continue to be surprised when their candidates don’t get elected. It will always be someone else’s fault.

When you don’t vote against the fascists, them going on to do fascist shit is your fault.
You’re requiring the entire American populace to have the same level of being informed as yourself in order for this plan to work. In the real world, lots of people are incredibly ignorant of the actual political situation in the US. The democrats need to adjust their messaging to get those who aren’t politically engaged but vote. That means speaking on the material reality for the average person and discussing how to solve those issues. That means EMBRACING MORE PROGRESSIVE POLICIES.
Yeah, if you know a leftist who stayed home because Harris wasn’t left enough, shame the fuck out of them. But that isn’t the same as saying Harris lost because she didn’t embrace the left. Most Americans don’t know they’re left-leaning because anything “socialist” must be evil.
More friendly fire. I did vote against the fascists. And you continuing to laud blame on everyone else instead of introspecting on how you can make “not fascism” a more attractive message only hurts the cause.
You’re doing harm instead of good. That’s the point.

I don’t kwe anyone “not fascists” being “more attractive.” They owe me and everyone like me not having to be convinced “not fascists” is fhe better choice.

The actual point is that this bellyache about how the establishment needs to learn some lesson here is nothing more than attempted leftwashing of the “economic anxiety” narrative.

Even if they genuinely sold me oit for something as impersonal aa a dollar off gas, that isn’t any better. It’s actually almost worse. I might get black bagged because some white asswhipe decided my life was worth maybe a dollar off gas.
You are so sure I’m some strawman that you’ve imagined or been conditioned to identify you’re attacking someone who is an ally, and you should reflect on that.

No ally of mine defends fascists.
You’re defending fascists by making it harder for the left to unify and fight against fascism.
If Bernie was so popular why couldn’t he beat Hillary Clinton or Biden in the Primaries?
Or was that someone else’s fault?
Because the DNC put their thumbs on the scales and did everything they could to lock him out of the process while doing the opposite for Clinton.
If the chosen, status quo DNC candidates are so popular, why do they keep losing or nearly losing all their elections?
Did they take his name off the ballot?
Did they change the vote totals?
Did they forbid him from campaigning?
They just ‘put their thumbs on the scales’? What does that even mean? They did ‘everything they could to lock him out of the process’ while letting him campaign and participate in the process? All your examples are vague as fuck, bro.
Lemmy like Reddit is a circlejerk.
Bernie lost because less people voted for him.
If it wasn’t for the undemocratic caucuses, he would have lost earlier.
Am I too un-USAmerican to understand this joke?
In the 2020 primaries, Bernie Sanders was rapidly gaining support. Based on the number of candidates and how they were splitting the vote, he stood the best chance of winning.
Then, the call went out. I’m not sure how else to describe it. All the competing candidates were in one day, and then most of them withdrew the next day and cleared the moderate field for Biden. It was a coordinated choice by a donor group or DNC or something that catapulted a mid popularity Biden to the top of the pack. Hence the calls of ‘DNC sabotaged Bernie’He kinda got fucked in 2016 when the DNC was all Vote for Hillary or lose your funding
There was something similar that happened in 2016 as well.
