I'm constantly marveling at Trump's luck as a politician. He only won in 2016 because he ran against one of the Democrats' weakest candidates. In 2024 he ends up running against someone even weaker.
I'm a big Bernie supporter — knocked doors in 2016 and 2020, whole shebang — but a lot of people seem to brush aside the fact that he got, fair and square, significantly fewer votes than his opponents in both primaries
I'm not even talking about just Bernie. The party operated like 2016 was Hilary's by fiat to the point that Bernie was the *only* competition. And then in 2020 of course they cleared the slate to appoint Biden.
if Sanders' only path to victory was a fractured moderate vote it says more about his strength as a candidate that Biden's, imho (and again, I'm a Sanders supporter)
Yeah no offense to you but I was real confused at the Bernie bros claiming he was robbed when, in fact, he simply got fewer votes. It's just math, and not even "weird electoral college" math.
yes, but that doesn't mean he has a right for the DNC to stand behind him and support him. you are not a member of the party, why is anyone surprised the party wants to elect a member rather than a non-member. (i'm p sure we are on the same side here i am just explaining my comment.)
