See, there’s serious doubt in both cases that Biden and Clinton were really the people’s choice because the party either overtly or quietly kept their thumb on the scale. I can’t find the article anymore, but whoever took over after Debbie Schultz basically found that the HRC campaign was effectively in charge of the DNC during the 2016 primary. I don’t know about you, but I don’t consider that a level playing field at all. Then, in '20, I found it really, really sketchy how Biden won what, two, three states? And all the other candidates with one or two wins suddenly pulled out and pledged all of their delegates for Biden basically at the same time. Could’ve been that Biden was really that cool, but I’ve always had doubts about that.

Make things better or make things worse.
It’s really that simple, guy.

It wasn’t exactly a close race. You’d be accusing the DNC of fabricating Millions of ballots.
conditional_soup@lemm.ee 1 day ago
Well, no, not of fabricating ballots. I said I think they had a thumb on the scales, that neither race was fair, not that the votes were fake. So, it’s more like I’m accusing them of giving their candidate of choice significant advantages over the others, which is not something you could call a fair race.

TBH they didn’t even need to include third parties on their ballots from the start. They had all the power in the world to Exclude Bernie. If they were that opposed then why would they even risk it?

technically true; dem elite ghouls are people.

I didn’t realize you considered 20 to 30 Million people dem elite ghouls. Clearly, you’re just a conservative.

this is why nobody fucking likes liberals; you’d rather shit on the people you say are your allies, whose aid and support of YOUR plans at any cost and never benefit to them is your right bestowed upon you by god and his prophet, ludwig von mises, than raise a god damn finger, even on your keyboard, to stop the literal nazis gutting all your precious institutions.
the election is over. if you genuinely want to make things better; move the fuck on, and join a filthy commie or a damned anarchist in one of our projects. or you can just keep telling us its our fault and the fascists aren’t at all to blame.

The fascists are to blame, and you’ve deluded yourself into believing the DNC are fascists despite every reason not to. When we elect Democrats we get less money in politics, we tax the rich, we expand medical coverage, we strengthen ties with allies around the world, and we actually do something about climate change.
When the GOP wins they claw back all of it.
I cannot see opposition to the DNC as anything other than pure malice, because it consequentially is.

No, Bernie got done dirty in the primary process each time, super delegates, getting people like Buttigieg to drop out for promises of favors - but it’s convenient there wasn’t a primary in 2024 so they could just pick someone else for you openly.
