There’s an alternate reality where the 2016 or 2020 primary were held fairly and Bernie won. Democrats won in a landslide on a populist campaign and delivered FDR-style reforms that made people’s lives tangibly better.

But instead, we live in a world run by idiotic monsters and their simpleton sycophants. They’ll run it all into the ground to make just a little bit more money. They’ll watch the world burn, thinking they’re going to lord over the ashes.

Yep. Ive said it before and I'll say it again, the democrats is a dead party. There is no future for the dems. They are fully content losing, and refuse to hand power to anyone younger, or anyone with intent to do something. They are a business, preying on our fear to garner donations, without actually taking any action

The moment Nancy pelosi won from her hospital bed over AOC was the final nail in the coffin for me. Any vote for the dems is a wastee, since they've lost the trust of the working class, and will never win again without major transformation in policy. Policy that isnt dilute GOP policy.

Whenever I can, ill be voting third party, since I know the dems won't win anyways. I have lost all faith in them.

Ah no, it started in the 70s already.

I don’t wanna hear leftists complain about old people in politics while they keep talking about Bernie the dinosaur.

I frankly can’t wait till he goes away so that the left can finally pick someone young and effective, instead of this old man who has great platitudes and beliefs, but zero clue how to get anyone of substance on board with his plans. He can’t even gather the support of the left, let alone the entire country or enough to win an election.

Edit: when I say the left, I mean the toxic American left that has taken over this year and is hell bent on destroying itself and rejecting each other while calling each other fascists. Meanwhile the right is united and laughing at you guys. Sincerely, a non American

I'm sure people would love an actually reasonable young candidate, unfortunately that seems to be hard to find

And when they exist, they're too young for boomers to vote for them.

Reminds me of this pic (couldn't find one without the YouTube circle):

Me too, Bernie. Me too.

The Democrats don't deserve Bernie.

[-] brlemworld@lemmy.world 47 points 4 months ago

They don't get him. He is an independent, and they are right wing.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 4 months ago

They only got him on board to get him out of the running.

Berniee! I wish you were like 10-15 years younger. I mean your mental capacity probably still beats mine but I am just worried you will get a critical health problem before these fucking turd pieces of human disgraces called democrats will allow you to do anything.

"they stole the primaries from me, for this!? I swear to God, someone is getting a sternly worded letter about this"
