MODERATORS
When people say they’re not happy about the economy, this is the shit they’re talking about, not statistics.
Ordinary people get fucked in this economy, and there isn’t any party that can do anything about it.
The socialist party.
They’d like to do something about it. But they can’t get elected.
Unless there’s something else they’re planning.
'Murica had a chance in 2016 but the DNC decided "nah".
I’ll say it an umpteenth time: good fash/bad fash afab.
Bernie would have won, and the last 8 years would have been vastly different.
Al Gore ran and would have won but republicans stole that one. It’s more complex than “DNC is icky”
The DNC manipulated the vote between Clinton and Bernie so Clinton would win the nomination.
They're not "icky" ... they're manipulative assholes.
They are also fascists.
But they’re Rainbow Fascists, so they’re better than Trump… right? Right??
Except they didn’t manipulate the vote and you’re just quoting trump:
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/926247543801044993?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fthehill.com%2Fblogs%2Fblog-briefing-room%2F358565-trump-dnc-tried-to-illegally-steal-primary-from-sanders
Best there was was a fundraising agreement that favored the established candidate, could have done better but that’s not manipulating the vote unless you’re an idiot.
Meanwhile Bernie’s caucuses with fascists? You sound like you have no grasp Of the world because anyone less than pure is a facist to you while actual fascist get voted in because of you ignorance and apathy.
Again Bernie endorses and caucuses with democrats. Because they rigged the vote? You realize how aligned he is with the dem party and works with their establishment. So he’s a fascist too?
Along with refusing to endorse a ceasefire, Bernie is just proving Stalin correct: social democracy is the leftwing of fascism.
Bernie refuses to oppose genocide Gaza because he refuses to endorse a ceasefire. This is a fact, regardless of whatever handwringing he's doing to pretend like this isn't an obvious betrayal. The Squad endorsed a ceasefire. Why won't he?
My comment was in agreement.
Ah, my apologies.
No worries. I have a hard time reading between the lines, myself.
No, if Bernie somehow won the nomination in 2016 then Hilary would have endorsed Trump to stop socialism.
Never underestimate Democrats.
Politics literally sets the rules. If you can get an elected majority you can certainly do something about it.
To fix things we would need one party to take over 153 separate branches of government.

What could possibly go wrong with a one-party state?
