    Left is Progressive. DNC create progress everytime we put them in, even without having more than 50 senate seats in over a decade. DNC are your dudes.

        Bernie lost because millions more people voted for the other candidates in 2016. The fact that he was even allowed to run on the DNC ticket despite his third party status is truly the opposite of fucking.

          We already discussed this in another thread. The 2020 race was decided by Obama/DNC forcing multiple candidates to drop out. After Super Tuesday the chances were slim for Bernie to have any chance at winning and there was no point in voters coming out for the remaining primaries.

          Stop spreading bullshit.

            Can confirm. Only had the chance to vote for Bernie 5 months after it was “already decided”. Our primary system is so fucked. Most of the country does not get to participate and the same 5-10 states choose the candidate every time.

            I remember that thread, you owned yourself by linking to an article which disagreed with you.

            If that were true they could be reaping the benefits of supporting the Trump Admin directly, like Walczak and Tim Cook have.

            The fact of the matter is that the billionaires aren’t a united front, either, because some of them are smart enough to realize their fortunes mean jack fucking shit in the face of a dictator who can take whatever he wants.

            If we had enough DNC to impeach then he would be impeached, if we had enough to remove then he would be removed. We’re in this situation to begin with because the GOP have all three chambers and the SCOTUS. None of this shit would be happening otherwise.
