I cannot argue with someone so proud of their stupidity. Go for yourself.

Bernie couldn't win when it was just Democrats deciding amongst themselves.

The Democrats ran Bernie before, during a time that was much more favorable for a progressive candidate. Only then, his name was George McGovern and he got beat like a rented mule.

Progressives need to learn how few people in this country are willing to consider the notion of the possibility of thinking about letting their daughters date a progressive, much less elect one President. It's not enough to be right, if you're fucking stupid about the citizens of this country.

We can disagree about Bernie. I think it's deeply cynical of him to point the finger he's pointing.

You are very right about simple answers vs annoying complexity, and this is a systemic problem the Democrats will always face. Being based in reality and choosing to try to solve actual issues instead of simplified strawmen means the Democrats never will have an appealing story to tell, for most folks.

Not under Biden.

Clinton fucked the party over with NAFTA, and sided with big business. Biden did not: Biden did more for workers and the working class than any other President since FDR.

But he doesn't get credit for it, because people don't pay attention. They remember he ordered the railroad workers back to work, and say it proves he's anti-labor. They didn't really follow up on the fact that a few weeks later, his administration helped get them the new contract that gave them more paid sick days than they had originally asked for. But the story was long out of the news by then.

I can't stand idiot liberals who don't read past headlines and drift with the news wind.

Your links are trash, and I've already dealt with them.

Am I supposed to be sad that the Dems fought to keep RFK Jr from being a useful idiot for the GOP, and tried to stop him from siphoning votes? You know, the guy who is now going to run amok in the Trump administration with his deranged ideas about healthcare, as a thanks for his efforts?

Am I supposed to be sad that the Dems fought against Jill Stein, a widely-known Putin-funded tool for years and years?

Fuck no. It isn't a betrayal of the ideals of freedom, representation, and democracy to fight against obvious sabotage of the system. There are always fools like you who will do the GOP's work, and try to stop the Democrats from fighting them from perverting the system. You're a tool of your enemy and too dumb to know it.

Oh, my sweet summer child.

Read a book.

Yeah, Dems are going to fight against spoilers propped up by the GOP.

You're an idiot to think they were anything aside from that.

That's bullshit. Dems win when turnout is larger. Turnout was significantly below 2020.

Dems have learned to never nominate a woman again, because this country is so fucking sexist.

Personal dignity?

Because we all know he will stop there.

I've read that it should be possible, but my experience seems to show that that is incorrect, that you need a login for every instance where you wish to make a post or comment. Could someone who knows clarify this?

If you need a login for every instance of Lemmy to participate in non-local communities, then that will, I think, be the #1 issue with Lemmy adoption, and the main reason folks bounce off.

 

Got a Bulldog puppy, and she intimidates our adult Boston Terrier. It's hysterical.
