In American politics, it doesn't matter who you vote for, you're still getting fucked! Like choosing a broom and a stick to get fucked with.
what needs to change is the way that voting work. Or at least people to vote for someone less embarassing than Harris and less facist than trump and a lot less in favor of the capitalists in general (Bernie my beloved).
Bernie couldn’t even win a primary.
they didn't let him win the primary. they had their chosen candidate, and they weren't going to let an actual progressive win.
It always has to be a conspiracy. Fuck's sake.
Oh you're right, the democratic convention is totally trustworthy and would never do such a thing! /s
Tell me more about how results that aligned with every major poll were totally unexpected. Every polling organization in the country conspired against Bernie.
I voted for Bernie. I marched for Bernie, back when I had two good legs. I donated and campaigned for Bernie. I would've loved it if Bernie won.
But he didn't. Because the people who showed up to vote clung to the idea that a 'moderate' was a better shot in the general election.
Still not convinced that wasn't rigged.
Was every primary poll rigged too?
Well I guess it's always possible dems pressured media to minimize or distort Bernie message. Which drives down his polling. I remember vividly in 2020 how many elderly dems voted for biden in primary because they knew he could beat Trump even though Bernie seemed like the better choice.
