What fuckin fair? It may be bullshit but it’s a private party, literally, and they didn’t need to let Bernie run at all, but they did. Quit moving the goalposts. The facts remain no matter what the DNC did or didn’t do Bernie lost the primary, overwhelmingly, because nobody voted for him.
If you want me to come up with a reason why the person who receives millions more votes should become the representative then clearly you oppose democracy and idgaf about your opinion on anything.
Popular vote: HRC: 16,917,853 Bernie: 13,210,550
Percentage: 55.2%, 43.1%
We’ve been discussing how Bernie lost the popular vote this entire time. It was a brutal defeat where he was 2 digit percent margin. Even worse, in 2020 he lost to Joseph Biden when Biden literally doubled his vote.
Not sure how that is discouraging. Also, if all it takes is a New Zealander to make some ambiguous comment which then discourages people to not vote, you are all in far greater trouble than you know. On top of that, your pointless comment contributed nothing and was also incorrect. Well done. America is safe now.
Bro it’s fucking exhausting how many progressive spaces refuse to admit that Bernie didn’t fucking get the votes to be the nominee. By like, a landslide.
I do think that in hindsight Clinton should have made him her VP choice though.
Where have people refused to admit that? My point was that the superdelegate system is unfair, because it gives the party favorite a huge advantage before anyone has even voted. Regardless of whether I’m for or against the party favorite, I’m against the superdelegate system.
The party insiders favored the person who has always been in the party, over someone who joined that year? Cmon man.
Bernie could have fixed this at any time, by actually joining the Democratic Party. He didn’t.
Bernie lost by MILLIONS of actual votes. Not super delegates. Actual votes.
Life ain’t fair. Just because it’s not fair, doesn’t mean people should sit at fucking home and sulk and not try and get something done instead of nothing.
Indeed. Considering her performance in the primary, I was certain she was going to win the general. I was so sure, in fact, that I did a little oopsie and forget to vote. Happens to us all, right?
If it doesn’t matter, then why not just make it fair?

Being chosen by the people is what is fair.
Isn’t that the popular vote?..

Thanks. Not American so not very knowledgeable but appreciate the clarification.
Hello 7 day old account trying to discourage people from voting in the midterms!

Maybe you shouldn’t vote. You seem like you may not meet the IQ requirements.
There is a concerted effort to keep everyone in the dark about this, including Americans, so it’s totally understandable.

Yeah, that would have avoided the vast majority of everything that has happened since.
Yep! But that moral superiority sure must feel good when we’re all paying six fucking bucks for gas, and we’re an international embarrassment right?

You’re the one who sat out voting against a guy who was pretty much a known rapist, so that’s your call.
It was an accident. You can’t blame me for an accident.
An accident?
You chose to sit out and didn’t care if Mr. Grab Her by the Pussy got elected.
Sitting out means you didn’t fucking care he got elected.
What a position of privilege you must sit in to not care about such things.
