minus-square@pjwestin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink7•edit-26 hours agoI think you’re forgetting the part where Clinton paid off the DNC’s debts and became it’s only financial lifeline, for which DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz abdicated control of party to Clinton’s team long before she secured the nomination.. Or that the AP controversially called the primary for Hillary just before California voted, giving voters the impression the primary was over before voting finished. Or that the DNC argued in court that they had no obligation give Bernie a fair, democratic primary. Or that Representatives Ford and Smith admitted the party did coalesce around Biden in 2020 to block Bernie. Or that polls had Bernie beating Trump by a wider margin than Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020.
minus-square@Butterpaderp@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink0•7 hours agoDid you forgot the part where it came down to just bernie vs biden in 2020 and people overwhelmingly voted for biden? I like bernie too, but he wasn’t gonna get the pick
minus-square@pjwestin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•6 hours agoExcept it wasn’t just him and Bernie. It was also Warren, so the progressive vote was spit, while the centrist vote was coordinated around Biden. Nice try though!
minus-square@Butterpaderp@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink-1•6 hours agoBiden made more than bernie and warren combined in alot of states. If bernie was meant to be, more people would have voted for him, plain and simple.
minus-square@pjwestin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•5 hours agoYou’re right, I forgot that Bloomberg was still in and running a campaign entirely designed to block Bernie. Nothing says, “Democracy,” like an oligarch entering an election and using his personal wealth to undermine another candidate, right?
minus-square@Butterpaderp@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•1 hour agoBloomberg was a joke. Can blame it on everything you like, bernie was still never getting presidency in 2020. People picked Biden over him.
