    Jesus Christ some jackasses podcast isn’t a source. This dumb fuckery is why Americans deserve what we’re getting, we’re a bunch of belligerent dumb fucks listening to other dumb fucks like they know shit. Bernie got barely half the primary votes that Hillary got. It wasn’t even close. Bernie was popular with progressives who didn’t register Dem or vote in the primary. Y’all are too stupid to understand first past the post or the spoiler effect or the way the two party system means you have to vote for the lesser of two evils or you are explicitly condoning the greater evil. If you wanted Bernie you all should have registered Dem and voted for him in the primary but you didn’t, nevermind that Bernie isn’t even a fucking Dem and the idea he’d get the party nom was ridiculous from the get go. Fucks sake the Bernie bullshit is literally Russian propaganda and I’m tired of hearing idiots repeat it.

      Idk bout ur whole argument of russian propaganda but

      “Y’all are too stupid to understand first past the post or the spoiler effect or the way the two party system means you have to vote for the lesser of two evils or you are explicitly condoning the greater evil.”

      Is both seemingly valid and entirely a crock of shit that will result in ratcheting towards fascism every single time.

        No it won’t if you primary establishment with progressives and actual leftists. If progressives had registered and voted in Dem primaries everywhere every time we’d have an actually progressive party. But too many dipshits buy the both sides bullshit.
