Liberals still hating on Bernie supporters and refusing to accept the idea that voters wanted a shake up of the system, rather than a female version of the status quo establishment left?
...so now we're stuck with a right wing shake up to the system instead.
They’re going to keep pissing on others like this and continue to be surprised when their candidates don’t get elected. It will always be someone else’s fault.
If people won’t vote in their own best interest we get facsism.
Am I too un-USAmerican to understand this joke?
In the 2020 primaries, Bernie Sanders was rapidly gaining support. Based on the number of candidates and how they were splitting the vote, he stood the best chance of winning.
Then, the call went out. I'm not sure how else to describe it. All the competing candidates were in one day, and then most of them withdrew the next day and cleared the moderate field for Biden. It was a coordinated choice by a donor group or DNC or something that catapulted a mid popularity Biden to the top of the pack.
Hence the calls of 'DNC sabotaged Bernie'
He kinda got fucked in 2016 when the DNC was all Vote for Hillary or lose your funding
Thank you. Seems like the DNC brought upon Trump by themselves.
OP could've added that context to the comic. We don't all follow the news from abroad.
There was something similar that happened in 2016 as well.
But why are they still talking about in in 2100 in the comic? I don't get whether it's shitting on the Bernie supporters for not moving on, or taking the piss out of the democratic party not getting its shit together.
Post-democracy autopsy of how it all went wrong
That's literally just politics. Apply the same logic to the recent french elections where competing left-wing candidates dropped out to not split the vote.
Nothing was stopping Bernie from making a deal with Amy and Pete to stay in the race to keep the centrist vote split
If it was biden making a deal then that's one thing. I don't think that's what happened. I think the DNC power players or donors said 'we don't want Bernie' and the rest of the group fell in line.
That's literally just politics.
This gives the same energy as saying "it's just business" after doing some heinous shit.
That’s literally just politics.
And see, that's the problem people complain about. They are doing bad politics by ganging up to the candidate that's gaining support from the people who are looking for someone different. Those people end up in Trump's camp when the Ds can only offer more corporate elites.
The way I remember it Bernie didn’t have enough votes before everyone dropped out.
no, he had just won two primaries in a row. Everyone but Biden, Bernie, and Warren dropped out. Warren was just as beholden to the DNC as the rest of them, but she stayed in specifically to split the progressive vote, in order to catapult the flailing Biden into pole position. It was clear as day, a coordinated effort to stop Bernie from being the Democratic candidate.
Warren played Marcus Brutus to Sanders' Caesar, live on National television.
She's a wretch. She also falsely claimed native american heritage, which was an out and out lie.
Remember when she called Bernie "anti-woman" and made some claim that he had said a woman can't be president? I lost all respect for her after that.
Don't forget the part where everyone dropping out endorsed Biden right after. Another funny case was Buttigieg, who was doing well after the first few primaries, even won some, but then just decided to drop out.
Taking the adage of "those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it," I could foresee someone going back in time to kill Hitler before he rose to power only for that history never to have been written so it still happens at a different point, in a different part of the world, because nobody learned from it.
Of course, we are now living in a time where it did happen and people still didn't learn a fucking thing...
The lesson will be repeated until it is learnt
