Democratic party keeps screwing itself.
If they didn't go against the main support of their party and chose a super unpopular Hillary over Bernie Sanders in 2016 then Bernie would have been wrapping up his second term as president and we would have some young blood flowing into the party. They would also have a completely different looking supreme court. They had something special going on in 2016 and they disenfranchised alot of young voting people that election.
Instead its a slow death March, and they don't even seem to be fighting it...
Bernie lost in the same way the Republican party shafted the primary against Teddy Roosevelt. If you have the apparatus you are the kingmaker.
Bernie didnt play their game, Hillary had control of the game. From easy primary questions to 'voting' groups falling inline with Clinton by the democratic party.
Undemocratic primaries are a systemic failure of the American voting system.
Ah yes, the unpopular Hilary who won both the primary against Bernie Sanders and the popular vote against Donald Trump, but was hated by conservatives and Reddit.
People really fall for this narrative hook line and fucking sinker every single fucking time, huh?
Just keep repeating it, and it becomes even better than reality
We keep biting the hand that feeds. Biden administration gives us four years of progressive policy and we can't wait to hate it.
Humanity is so fucking unbearably stupid.
Y'all truly make it very hard to not just despair.
ANYWAY, to anyone that wants the world to be incrementally better instead of plummetingly worse, go fucking vote. Not a protest vote, a real grown-up vote.
Hillary won the primary by orchestrating the other candidates to drop out and unite behind her, when it showed Bernie was starting to win. Exercising her dynasty power (since we are talking about heirs) to pressure the delegates into a swift pro establishment decision.
Clinton is a far right war hawk by other countries standard and still a war hawk by US standards.
Also it is not something new to the US system, that the popular vote is not the all deciding factor, so blaming it on the voting system, especially after 8 years of Dem presidency and before that 8 years of Hillary god damn husband being president in the 90s is laughable.
Record deportations, building Trumps wall, funding genocide in Gaza... Meanwhile not enacting any change to protect the US political system from Trump, after January 6 and just glossing over it as some singular event never to happen again, instead of understanding it as a clear sign of deep systematic issues that need urgent addressing.
You and i have very different understandings of what is progressive.
