    Didn’t she win the popular vote?

    This is just shit libs blaming the left instead of taking responsibility for running a shit candidate with so much baggage that she lost while “winning”

    If you want to be mad at anyone, blame the dnc.

      Bernie would have whooped trump in 2016. Shame the dnc decided to change the rules the day of to avoid a split ticket or God forbid, supporting the actually viable candidate.

        Sanders, God love him, was not going to be electable. Had they run him, Trump would have picked up the whole of the big fat moderate lump in the middle of the bell curve.

        Exactly like Boris Johnson did when he ran against Jeremy Corbyn. The capitalists simply won’t allow socialists to win in this environment.

          Sanders, God love him, was not going to be electable.

          Literally every single poll says otherwise. We’ll never know for certain, but there’s much more evidence to support a Sanders victory than a Sanders loss, and claiming that Trump would have picked up enough moderates to win is baseless speculation.

        Lol, no.

        Bernie is the Ron Paul of the left; he has a small group of very loud supporters online who by constantly shouting at each other on the internet have convinced themselves that he’s actually some sort of populist god. I mean seriously, he couldn’t even win the popular vote in the Democratic Primary in 2016, losing to Hillery by over three million votes, where were all the extra voters to “whoop” Trump supposed to come from?

            “Pro-Trump Russian asset Wikileaks reveals that DNC said mean things about our Lord and Savior Bernie Sanders”

            Seriously, have you actually looked at the Wikileak emails rather than the hype? It’s the weakest shit imaginable.

              You sound like someone who thinks Russiagate and rachel maddow were legit. WikiLeaks used to be trumpeted by liberals as a bastion of truth untill Assange came out with the corrupt dnc stuff. Which you can still all read, yes they conspired with Hillary. MSNBC and CNN gave her easy questions while grilling Bernie. “Weakest shit indeed”.

              If the establishment doesn’t like the candidate they won’t get airtime. Same shit with Dean Philips and Marianne Williamson. The Biden team places some phone calls and bam your campaign is dead and no airtime/coverage. Are they viable candidates, who knows?

              Should they at least get airtime and be heard in a democratic process?? Yes…

              The emails were never even denied, and they are damning as hell. That is precisely why the entire response, to this day, has been to ignore what was revealed and go after the people who revealed it. Yes, it was shit people revealing shit about other shit people.

      I mean, I will always be mad at the DNC for not running Sanders.

      Doesn’t mean I’m not gonna vote Biden in Nov 2024 though.

        Of course it’s a problem. But people point to this and say “the system’s broken [of course it is], so why vote!” Which is what the most fascist, anti-freedom politicians want. Functionality, it’s the same as voting for the ‘R’ in every election.

          Systems fucked, but I always vote. Getting blamed while supporting a candidate I despise certainly is icing on the shit cake

      Or blame both.

      There’s more than one way to solve most problems, and more than one cause as well. Would a stronger candidate have succeeded? Perhaps. But that was a solution for earlier in the process. A solution for late in the process was voters turning up.

        We literally had that candidate and he got fucked over by super deligates or some nonsense.

        I’m sick of being blamed when I voted for someone as vile as hrc. Dems lost the vote, not me.

        Maybe if hrc actually showed up to purple states and appealed to actual voters it would have went differently.

      Don’t you see the contradiction in “she won the popular vote” and “she was a shit candidate”?

      It’s kinda like the contradiction that Bernie could win the general election, but 12% of his voters defecting to Trump wasn’t enough to make a difference.

      Leftists are going to be shouting “the DNC is corrupt” on the gallows after Trump wins.

        “Leftists are going to be shouting “the DNC is corrupt” on the gallows after Trump wins.”

        This is the stupid shit is see all over lemmy that makes me so mad… Yes the DNC SUCKS but guess what? They’re the status quo right now, and the alternative is literally a fucking dictatorship that has vindictive actions as their highest priority.

        There aren’t even dog whistles anymore, he’s using the word dictator… But yeah BomberBiden… Mr.Genocide… I get it… So that means let Trump win? Seriously?

          Yeah, and I’ll still likely vote for Mr genocide all while being blamed for his loss. So why’s it matter?
