For real for real, the sheer level of conspiracism and explaining away the fact that Boomers will actually go out and fucking vote.
It can't be that the people who disagree with them go out and do the one "praxis" they have to be dragged out kicking and screaming to do even for the guy they claim to support, no, clearly the DNC is responsible for Bernie losing a race he got less votes in!
Well, the DNC absolutely kneecapped Bernie when he was running against Hillary. I mean, we literally have the emails to prove it.
Against Biden, the issue wasn't the DNC as much as it was Elizabeth Warren refusing to consolidate the liberals behind Bernie as the moderates consolidated behind Biden. The final nail in the coffin was the prominent black leader who thew his support to Biden and handed him a critical victory in one of the southern states. This always annoyed me deeply, because Bernie was literally out there getting arrested to fight for their civil rights while Biden was on the wrong side of the busing civil rights issue.
Oh well. At least Bernie dragged Biden much farther left than he would have been.
Can you link me the emails please?
Thank you
