What are you even talking about about? I never once ever heard someone say (what I can only assume you're saying since you haven't clarified anything) that if Sanders won the primary "they" would "still run their own guy."

Who is "they" and what did "they" say again?

Syria and Libya dominated the news when their civil wars started and for some time afterward, but just like it has with Ukraine, coverage lessened over time. I've regularly seen Afghanistan in the news too, but what is there to report there besides what everyone expected the Taliban would do?

Russia's invasion of Ukraine was genuinely different than all of these other conflicts, which were mostly ethnic or sectarian in nature. The scope and scale of the Ukraine invasion dwarfs these other conflicts by a significant margin, and it's being perpetrated by an influential geopolitical adversary of the entire western world that poses a threat beyond this conflict

Are you an alt account for one of the two people I posted about? If not you have a serious case of main character syndrome to think I was talking about you before you were even involved in this conversation lol

I hope you're getting paid to post this stuff, otherwise the projection here is off the charts

What you've cited here is a legal argument the DNC used in court as a defendant in a lawsuit. That doesn't change the fact that Hillary Clinton got more votes than Sanders in 2016, which literally happened. I voted for Sanders and thought he had a better shot at beating Trump, and thought Clinton was a terrible candidate. That doesn't change the fact that a ton of Democratic voters preferred Clinton. Women in particular were very excited about the possibility of a woman president. I knew a ton of people who voted for her over Sanders and who were excited to do so.

Either way, the superdelegate system that locked in Clinton's nomination was changed after 2016, yet even after Biden beat Sanders fair and square in 2020 you'd still rather think there's some grand DNC conspiracy instead of the reality that there just aren't enough voters supporting your preferred candidate.

You're going to win a lot of hearts and minds with that rhetoric lol. More importantly, where did you derive any of that about my political beliefs based on what I said

I used to live in Texas. Still do, but used to, too
