It’s an expression… I am not sorry, I have nothing to be sorry for, neither do you, we are just debating
I never claimed that democracy in the US wasn’t broken. If you think I did, please point specific statements.
You offered a solution based on a working democracy which is not the case here… why do you offer one if you know it won’t work?
Again, following my analogy… why would you offer broccoli for the kids in Gaza when there is none?
How many votes did Bernie get in the primary, and how many did Hillary get?..
How many votes did Bernie lost when the Democrats said Hillary would be chosen regardless? From the link you did not read:
The Cook Political Report estimated late last month that Clinton’s early advantage with superdelegates meant that she effectively started the race eight points above Sanders in the race to get enough delegates to secure the nomination.

Please provide specifics, otherwise you are just talking around what I actually wrote.
I did read your link. Do two things for me here. First, look up how many votes (not delegates but votes) Bernie and Hillary got in the primary. Second, please recognize that I am talking about direct votes for a candidate, not the delegates. Let me know if you think a working democracy is one where the less popular candidate gets the nomination.

You recommended this:
So go vote for who you want in the primaries, and vote against who you don’t want in the general.
And I claimed that sucks because there is no real democracy (even in the primaries).
Again I repeat (as many others while you keep on ignoring them in this thread), the problem here is that you keep on painting a picture where people have a say which is not the case. People’s desires during primaries (where you claim people should vote for who they like) is consistently manipulated and slanted whichever way the party wants… then you want those same people to support the party that just wipe their hypothetical ass with the people’s opinion.
Look at Mamdani’s run for Mayor… the very Democrats did everything in their power to torpedo his candidacy and campaign… yet you expect people to vote for whichever stooge they tell them to vote for

Alright. Please highlight in that statement where I said that the US was a perfectly functional and not systemically broken democracy?

Funny that you wrote this… And in the very next paragraph mentioned Mamdani winning despite the opposition from political insiders.
I don’t think you are in a position to judge the fairness of an election process, as you seem convinced that Bernie should have been the DNC nominee despite losing by 3 million votes in the primary ( and again, that is votes not delegates) And yes, I’m going to call you out on that until you walk it back.

Ok bud, you are just being pedantic now… I have explained it 1000x times…
The gist is, what you said makes sense in a working democracy… even by your own admission, the USA does not have that… ergo, what you said is not really a good enough advice.

Correct, to highlight that you are asking people to compromise with the Democrats when the Democrats would not compromise with the people.
This is all plain to see… you just want to “be right” for internet points
Ok bud, you are just being pedantic now… I have explained it 1000x times…
Being pedantic matters here, because you are countering a position I didn’t make. If you don’t want me to be pedantic about it, then either show I made the argument (by quoting it) or drop the argument.

Pretry sure Democrats did compromise with the people who voted in their primary. That’s the whole point of having a primary…
