If Hilary hadn't been a pile of shit doing private speaking engagements for billionaires that were so hush hush that they set up massive white noise generating speaker systems, people would have voted for her.

if Hilary had set a fucking foot in some of the states she lost, people would have voted for her.

if Hilary didnt make stupid fucking comments, people would have voted for her.

Maybe if you stopped blaming voters, and blamed the shitty fucking candidates, someone less awful would have run, and won.

Your vote matters.

If 100% of voters voted liberal in the upcoming election, the one after that would have way more left leaning candidates.

Your vote directly matters.

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.

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?

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.

Tell your handlers that for this farce to continue you must concede us a win occasionally. Practice what you preach. Incremental progress. Min wage increase here, universal healthcare there.

As it stands now all you fuckers do is lie. Lie and wag your fingers at people who know how the system works better than you do.

Thats the compromise. We accept your lukewarm, limpwristed, milquetoast bullshit in exchange for incremental progress. But you've offered no progress. When challenged even slightly you sprint for votes from the right which only leads to you losing elections and further alienating those to the left of fucking Reagan.

Those Republicans you're courting despise you and will never support you in meaningful numbers. They're comfortable and only care about 2 things. Property Values and Taxes.

Oh, what's the last day for? Can it be guillotine day?

[–] EunieIsTheBus@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

I would prefer torches and pitchfork day
