Vote for the change you want to see.

The Republican party got remade because trumpists showed up and outvoted the party elites. No reason it can't happen for the Left except for laziness and apathy.

If all the progressives furious about the state of affairs now had shown up for Sanders in 2016, I doubt we'd be in this hellish timeline. Sadly, he needed the young progressive vote to show up.

You do realize the super delegates never came into play right? I mean I'm sure they would have if they needed them to but it never got that far.

They were actively endorsing Hilary.

Yes, they came into play, even if they didn’t yet cast their vote.

You do realize they actually did right?

I watched the DNC do everything they could to throw the election to the worst candidate they have ever run, simply because their donors didn’t want to give everyone health care.

That election turned an entire generation into people who don’t bother voting because nothing will ever change.

We didn’t even fucking GET a primary this time. How can I vote in a primary that doesn’t even really exist? The Democrats end up with the candidate they want one way or another.

The stupid ass Russian propaganda that you people swallowed afterwards turned you into a generation of non voters.

Oh please. The russians had nothing to do with Hillary fucking over Bernie. That was all her.

But keep assuming that you can blame the democrats failings on Russia. If trump wasn’t running the dems would lose this election because they lost so many votes.

Look at them running to dick fucking cheney and his goon daughter instead of the Muslim vote that can actually win them a swing state.

You gonna say that the Muslims in Michigan are falling for Russian propaganda about a genocide too?
