Hillary received the majority of the votes in the primaries. If the superdelegates had changed their votes to support Bernie instead, that would have been undemocratic.
Biden had a mathematically insurmountable lead when the primaries were canceled.
If 100% of those states had gone for Biden, it wouldn’t have changed the nomination. He already had it locked in.
And the 2016 scheme was to have the superdelegates tip the scales to Clinton if Bernie narrowly won the primaries, but he didn’t.
How are they not fair?
Just because the majority of people who actually show up and vote in them pick candidates you don’t like?
It’s the people who bother to fucking show up that make the difference.
The time to change the left is the primaries and local elections.
When the national elections come around, you don’t move the country to the left by allowing the ultra-right fascists to win the election.
Yes. They were flawed.
Explain to me how Trump being President helps the Palestenians or the environment.ve4sus a Bid3n or Harris administration.
Even if their policies were 100% in lockstep on Palestine and the environment (Trump will ABSOLUTELY be worse for both), there’s a million other ways in which Trump is worse.
You motherfucers who cast votes for third parties, refused to vote, or really did anything but vote for Harris were signing a fucking suicide pact for the rest of us while pretending you were taking the moral high ground.
Everything that’s coming is your fault. All the suffering, death, destruction - all of it. Your hands are bloody. It should keep you up at night, but your heads are so far up your own arrogant asses you no longer smell the shit you’ve spread.
When you had the choice to put up meaningful opposition to fascism, you chose not to.
Fuck you, now and forever.
The next administration wants the government to shut down and grind to a halt. This is all Biden can do to slow the bleeding.
I agree.
They’re ON Medicare
My parents hate the insurance companies. But they’ve been convinced by the right wing that the government would handle things worse.
And they didn’t even bother playing their planet card.
According to the GSS, only 10% of Americans reaponded “Agree” or “Strongly Agree” to the statement “Homosexuals should have the right to marry” in 1988 (first year the question was asked).
In 2004, it was 30%.
In 2022 it was 67%.
Also according to the GSS, 40 years ago a third of Americans thought homosexuals shouldn’t have the right to speak.
We’ve made remarkable progress in a very short period.
No. I’m saying they didn’t even have to do that because all these lazy motherfuckers complaining about the party don’t even get off their ass to try and change it.
And moreover, the “insiders” who control the party agent some mysterious cabal. They’re people who have been chosen to lead the party by the party. You change them by participating in primaries and (more importantly) local primaries.
Party leadership isn’t hatched from an egg. They climb the ranks over decades of party membership. The Clinton’s weren’t formed from the ether in 1992. They’d been involved in the party for decades before they were known nationally.
You select the people to lead the party in the future at the local level. You can’t just magic them into existence by doing jack-all but complaining every 4 years that they didn’t listen to what you weren’t telling them.
