Vote for the change you want to see.
The Republican party got remade because trumpists showed up and outvoted the party elites. No reason it can’t happen for the Left except for laziness and apathy.
If all the progressives furious about the state of affairs now had shown up for Sanders in 2016, I doubt we’d be in this hellish timeline. Sadly, he needed the young progressive vote to show up.
Do you understand how superdelegates work? they’re not assigned by vote.
As well, the Bernie campaign was blocked from accessing the voter rolls because they reported a bug to the DNC that allowed them to view stuff the clinton campaign was doing. They did not exploit it, they just reported it.
Also, did you read that hacked/leaked memo where the DNC chair admitted to intentionally sabotaging Bernie’s campaign? no one has ever contested the contents of that memo. in fact the DNC chair resigned over it. (and you’re an idiot if you think Hilary wasn’t pressuring the DNC chair to do just that. Hilary always has someone else to throw under her campaign bus.)
Maybe you don’t?
Sanders didn’t win a majority of the votes so whether the super delegates would’ve over-ridden the votes is fairly irrelevant.
You can argue it wasn’t a completely balanced playing field but there was nothing stopping us from winning the votes except for our refusal to show up rather than bitch online.
More young people voted in 2016 than ever before. We showed up. The boomers overwhelmed us.
Yup. Young votes don’t show up to the general or primaries at anywhere near the same rate as boomers. And sadly, democracy caters more to those who vote.
People like you are the reason Democrats can’t unite fyi, reducing problems of people who did exactly what you’re saying and got shat on once again
You do realize the super delegates never came into play right? I mean I’m sure they would have if they needed them to but it never got that far.
I watched the DNC do everything they could to throw the election to the worst candidate they have ever run, simply because their donors didn’t want to give everyone health care.
That election turned an entire generation into people who don’t bother voting because nothing will ever change.
We didn’t even fucking GET a primary this time. How can I vote in a primary that doesn’t even really exist? The Democrats end up with the candidate they want one way or another.
The stupid ass Russian propaganda that you people swallowed afterwards turned you into a generation of non voters.
Oh please. The russians had nothing to do with Hillary fucking over Bernie. That was all her.
But keep assuming that you can blame the democrats failings on Russia. If trump wasn’t running the dems would lose this election because they lost so many votes.
Look at them running to dick fucking cheney and his goon daughter instead of the Muslim vote that can actually win them a swing state.
You gonna say that the Muslims in Michigan are falling for Russian propaganda about a genocide too?
