Imagine if Gore won.
*if Gore's win wasn't stolen by the supreme court
I seethed for months over this. Months.
Boomers wonder why the younger generations seem to 'hate america'.
Well it's because of bullshit like this. Repugnicunts have hijacked democracy and its roots are in Nixon and we have been forced to grow up under the lie that we are free and represented by our politicians.
Democrats did exactly the same to Bernie in 2016. Leaked emails confirm that the DNC actively conspired against Sanders.
And then Hillary was such a bad candidate that Trump won. Thank the DNC for that one.

My parents tried to explain to me why Bush won instead of Gore, and my little kid brain was like "but he won though"
That was my first ever presidential election vote, I was so excited to see someone with legit interest in saving the environment, full of hope for a new future. I remember how giddy it felt to step into the booth.
I lived in florida then, the entire state was thrown out by a legit conspiracy.
And it's jaded my vision of politics ever since.
Yeah, it's a big reason why I think civil disobedience is making a comeback.
People are realizing the government doesn't exist for them; it exists for the ruling class. That's not how it should work and we don't have to play by the rules they make for us.

Too bad the primary really was rigged
Fucking tell me about it, I was living in florida at the time
I keep seeing people say this. where can I find more information on the subject?
In November 2017, Brazile said in her book and related interviews that the Clinton campaign and the DNC had colluded 'unethically' by giving the Clinton campaign control over the DNC's personnel and press releases before the primary in return for funding to eliminate the DNC's remaining debt from 2012 campaign,
We need a national movement to take the primaries out of the hands of the parties and run them like regular elections. Even better would be rank choice voting so we are no longer stuck with the two choices the wealthy give us.

He must be an anti-semite
If you rearrange the letters in "sanders" it actually becomes hamas.
-
Sanders
-
Sanhers
-
Sanhars
-
Samhars
-
amhas
-
hamas
-
Hamas

Start with the original name
-
Remove the bottom of the letter "d", now it looks like a mirrored "h", so let's mirror it back tp a normal "h"
-
The letter "e" is just an upside down "a" with rounded corners and a tail, so rotate it into an "a"
-
The letter "n" looks and sound almost like the letter "m", it is almost too easy, but let's just swap it.
-
Remove the extra letters.
-
Rearange the letters to spell "hamas"
-
Capitalize the name properly.
Done!

No need for /s - this is no less illogical than most of their other arguments.

If only the DNC could get their shit together, if he was the nomination last election, or the one before, or the one before, the world would be in such a better place.
We could have had Al Gore instead of Bush if the Supreme Court didn't toss Bush the crown because... reasons
Because SCOTUS decided that it was perfectly fair and valid to have the final vote on who got to he president come down to one of the peoples' brother and there was absolutely nothing wrong about that
If only we had AI Gore in the early 00s.
We should have! Republicans illegally stole that from us as well
Also, many progressives stayed home or voted for the Green Party. Not that it is more the fault of progressives than SCOTUS, but blame aside, it’s a cautionary tale.
I wonder how the Nader voters feel.

Who replaces Netanyahu? The crimes of Israel are not all rooted in one man.
The crimes of Donald Trump were not rooted in one man either but getting rid of one major malignant tumor does help things along.

Probably Benny Gantz.
The key benefit of the replacement being anyone who is not Netanyahu is that Netanyahu knows he is going to lose the next election and probably be arrested for prior crimes, so he personally has reason to keep the conflict going as long as possible.
Yeah, I wonder what Sanders would do if it were up to him. Netanyahu is part of the problem but it's so much bigger than him, especially after all the years he's been in power influencing things.

We are damned.
Good with Judaism but fuck the Israeli state. Don’t let people try to confuse the two.
The Holocaust is real, stop trying to cosplay it in Gaza.
As a non-american it gives me an innocent and sincere joy to see Bernie Sanders being celebrated. Keep that integrity alive you crazy BAMFs.
To me, Bernie proved that there can be no positive change in the US via voting. When Bernie was looking strong, the democrats and the news media did everything they could to stop him and they succeeded. They were willing to do it even though the polling numbers showed that Hillary was the only legitimate primary candidate who couldn’t beat Trump. They wanted Bernie out no matter what because he represented the positive change that would hurt the ruling class just a little.
