      It happened because of the 40 years of failure of the democratic party in their ambivalence to the willing efforts of the republican party to destroy democracy. They will fail us in the defense of democracy. All that continues not to demand a fundamental change are the problem.

            The system wasn’t rigged, Bernie’s “base” couldn’t be assed to turn out.

            His support underperformed the share of millennials and Zoomers that were in the voting pool by then, nevermind how much they could have dominated with boomers leaning so much more to the Republicans.

            Bernie lost because his supporters want all the praise of being revolutionary without doing any of the work of fermenting a revolution.

          >Y’all are the white moderates MLK had had the right amount of. All the words, none of the will to even do the barest minimum of the work of actually being an ally to the suffering of the oppressed in this country.

          wrong. white moderates are who Obama tried to woo by choosing the architect of the crime Bill as his running mate.

            You mean people who voted and put the first black man into the white house? They did more for civil rights than you are tryna justify why letting Caligula Jackson win is fine and dandy.
