I guess you never heard of Henry A. Wallace. The DNC did the same thing to him. He had the votes to be VP, but they pulled shenanigans to pick Truman. Same shit, different decade.
Comment on Hillary Clinton Says Biden’s Re-election Bid Was a ‘Terrible Mistake’
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 5 hours agoBernie lost his primary and the right wing spread some of the most effective propaganda it ever had in what you just said there.
Gullible people still think Bernie had a chance ten years later and are still repeating it to sow discord with liberals.

The difference is Bernie didn’t have the votes.
He lost because Hilary had more votes.

I will never believe the 2020 Iowa caucus was legitimate - the Iowa Democratic Party chair resigned after that disaster and Iowa lost its first in the nation status because of how badly it fucked things up.

I’m always baffled leftists can’t accept their candidates aren’t popular so that’s why they lose.
Nothing to do with liberals.

I’m baffled by your reply - what does it have to do with my comment?
My point is that party primaries are not fair, and they are not intended to be fair. The Democrats could make a primary rule that forbids socialists from even running as Democrats, and it would be entirely legal. Primary rules are not the same as general election rules. Any socialist trying to run as a Democrat should run under the assumption that the Party will put its thumbs on the scale.

The Party = liberals.
