I literally do blame the Democrats for Trump, and if you don't, you weren't paying attention.

Plenty of us were critiquing Clinton's campaign on those merits and were consistently talked down to in shocker the same way we're being talked down to now. Shocker, she lost. I remember saying a few weeks before the election "We're about to get Brexited." I put my vote down for Clinton, because Trump is fucking insane, and that was clear before he was President. It was clear in the fucking 1980's.

Being able to critique our leaders is supposed to be what is the difference between us and conservative voters. They're the cult who unquestioningly believes all the bullshit that comes out of Trump's mouth and diapers. I find it weird that people think we should be more like them in regards to our leaders like that would be a good thing.

The dnc should have let Bernie Sanders become the nominatee like the voters wanted, instead of rigging the primary for Hillary.

I voted for Bernie in the primary, and I wanted him to win. I think the DNC was shady but I was under the impression that the voters DID choose Hillary.

I remember looking at which areas in MA went to Hillary, it was most of the non-rural ones.

The DNC favored Hillary over a guy who wasn't even a Democrat, which shouldn't really have been a surprise. Regardless of the DNC shenanigans the voters still could have choosen Bernie, they just didn't.

This, NEVER rig the Primary if you can't rig the General

It's been adjudicated enough. Bernie was popular among the voters but Hillary moreso.

He had a second chance in 2020 and the advantages that came with being the frontrunner early on. Still lost.

Then all the selfish pieces of shit who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries can elect him in 2024 all on their own.

Yeah they're already planning on it. They're not gonna waste time on people who will be forever litigating something that was 3 election cycles ago. Most Bernie supporters voted for Hillary, just like he asked them to. Wonder who he'll support this time.

Yeah they’re already planning on it.

Great. Best of luck. Don't blame us when Biden loses.
