Taking the adage of "those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it," I could foresee someone going back in time to kill Hitler before he rose to power only for that history never to have been written so it still happens at a different point, in a different part of the world, because nobody learned from it.

Of course, we are now living in a time where it did happen and people still didn't learn a fucking thing...

Liberals still hating on Bernie supporters and refusing to accept the idea that voters wanted a shake up of the system, rather than a female version of the status quo establishment left?

...so now we're stuck with a right wing shake up to the system instead.

They’re going to keep pissing on others like this and continue to be surprised when their candidates don’t get elected. It will always be someone else’s fault.

If people won’t vote in their own best interest we get facsism.

Am I too un-USAmerican to understand this joke?

In the 2020 primaries, Bernie Sanders was rapidly gaining support. Based on the number of candidates and how they were splitting the vote, he stood the best chance of winning.
Then, the call went out. I'm not sure how else to describe it. All the competing candidates were in one day, and then most of them withdrew the next day and cleared the moderate field for Biden. It was a coordinated choice by a donor group or DNC or something that catapulted a mid popularity Biden to the top of the pack. Hence the calls of 'DNC sabotaged Bernie'

He kinda got fucked in 2016 when the DNC was all Vote for Hillary or lose your funding

There was something similar that happened in 2016 as well.

Thank you. Seems like the DNC brought upon Trump by themselves.

OP could've added that context to the comic. We don't all follow the news from abroad.

But why are they still talking about in in 2100 in the comic? I don't get whether it's shitting on the Bernie supporters for not moving on, or taking the piss out of the democratic party not getting its shit together.

Whats funny to me is this could be taken in two ways.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

My brain is sad and sluggish today, explain?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

one is people are still talking about it, the other is it happened again (granted then would have had to have some insane medical advancements)

I think Bernie could live another hundred years if it means seeing M4A in the US
