The democrats haven’t held a legitimate primary since 2008!

In 2008 it was a genuine competition between Obama, Hillary, and a handful of other lesser known politicians. Obama won the general in a landslide.

In 2012 Obama ran unopposed. Obama won the general.

In 2016 the democrats rigged the primary against sanders for Hillary, and to absolutely no one’s surprise who was paying attention, Hillary lost the general. Why? she didn’t genuinely win the primary. Shocking!

In 2020, refusing to learn mistakes from 2016, the democrats once again screwed over bernie and didn’t run a legitimate primary - rigged it so that all the candidates except no-path-to-win Warren exited the race to split the progressive vote away from bernie. Joe biden won by the skin of his teeth, and he would of lost if it weren’t for the country reacting to trumps handling of covid.

In 2024, once again refusing to learn the democrats didn’t even bother with a primary, ran an old demented geezer as a presidential candidate, realized that wasn’t going to work, and then anointed unelected Kamala Harris who didn’t even need to compete in a primary.

And they’re shocked they lost?! These people make way too much money to be this stupid.

    And instead of doing something even remotely helpful, they let the genocide harder guy win.

    But go off, accelerationist, go ahead and tell me how this makes things better. And keep using the word fascist, maybe someday you’ll learn the meaning.

      Everyone that screams accelerationist seems to be ok with the incrementalism that turned Democrats into full fledged right wing fascists.

      You’re so woke you’re letting visibly queer people like myself live under threat of a fascist regime because you refused to hold your party accountable and “push to the left”.

      They spit in our faces and minimize a fucking GENOCIDE and then expect us to vote for them? Fuck them and fuck you too.

        What the fuck are you smoking friend, my entire friend group is visibly queer and the only option we had available was Kamala. I would lash out for your ignorance, but you have no way of knowing and are extremely raw.

        They spit in our faces and minimize a fucking GENOCIDE and then expect us to vote for them?

        And instead you spit right back and welcomed it on yourself and those like you and I love. This isn’t to vote shame, it’s just acknowledging objective reality.

        I’m so sorry for you and those around me who are going to suffer for the choices made yesterday, but you really need to stop and think about the choices available to you in this limited and frankly fucked up world. I stand by my statement, no matter how many people refuse to accept that bad situations have awful choices with worse outcomes for wanting to die in a particular hill.

        Fuck them and fuck you too.

        I hope you’re able to find safety and peace, and that you’re willing to let yourself see past your morality to the bare facts of reality. Electoralism fucking sucks, but you can now see what happens when morality outweighs pragmatism.

        Goodbye, I don’t have the mental bandwidth to deal with such bitter and misplaced hatred, especially when trying to keep the sanity of those around me melting down. Stay safe.

          Enjoy brunch! “All my friends are queer”

          Lmfao, I’m visibly queer and have been physically assaulted since I was a child in the 90s for it. The democrats have not nor ever been our friends. They manipulate us for votes. They refuse to see how THEIR ACTIONS made them lose an election they should of won in a landslide.

          Keep minimizing a genocide, fascist.

          You could have started off by holding your politicians accountable instead of heading off to brunch. All the issues that dems turned a blind eye to the last 4 years will now become the most important issues to address.
