The DNC is the only reason you’re not currently enjoying a second-term Sanders and a sane Supreme Court.
Classic victim blaming.
The only reason we are here is because of Republican actions not Dem inactions.
That’s literally not how reality works, OP.
Shame.
Sanders polled better in swing states. States like Michigan and Winsconsin would have been a significantly closer battleground had they chosen the more charismatic person over the system choice.
The DNC picked the choice their core base wanted most, but not the choice the swing states would have voted more likely for. It isn’t a game of who you want to win at times, its a game of who would have had a better chance.
They finally admit Clinton blew Sanders out of the water in the popular vote but only when they think it gives them an excuse to talk down at the stupid proles who didn’t know what was good for them.
You’re basically complaining that Trump got a bullshit EC win but Sanders didn’t.
First the fix is in because there weren’t primaries and now it’s in because the DNC listened to it too much.
Anything to worship at the altar of St. Bernard, who told you shitbags to support the winner both times.
If democrats could have managed to find a likable candidate in 2016 things would be different. How could you find someone more likable than Hillary?
The amount of disinformation funneled into the US social media platforms was also on a whole different level than ever seen before. Facebook itself spread enough disinformation and propaganda that it single-handedly helped disenfranchise a large number of people. It’s really what helped create Trumps cult, and divided everyone else.
Yep, it was just a messaging problem, not a reality problem.
It certainly wasn’t that Clinton ran the most incompetent campaign in my lifetime. Ignoring the Midwest swing States, even as their local Democratic parties begged for support couldn’t have had anything to do with it.
Her support for war, from murdering Gaddafi and wanting to start ww3 with Russia over Syria, and voting for Iraq were all just historical notes of no importance to anyone.
