I already told you. Bernie would've beaten Trump regardless, Biden was only popular in states that ended up going to Trump, and carried that momentum through the Primary process. It's likely that Bernie would've won flat out had the primaries been simultaneous, plus there's the previous DNC fuckery you keep walking back and pretending didn't exist.

All of that is to say that the DNC and major news outlets absolutely massage the narrative in favor of the most bland and benign Capitalist they can, in this case Biden, despite Bernies policies being far more popular.

It's quite simple, and no matter how hard you defend the current system, it's fucked regardless and designed to change as little as possible.

This is basically just paragraphs of cope at this point. Trump people have a similar set of arguments. "The mainstream media blah blah blah", "The SYSTEM is fucked", "the DNC blah blah blah" same shit, different coloured hat. If only you guys had the grace of Sanders himself to know when you lost.

None of this has any substance. What-ifs, would-haves, and conspiracy.

I really don't know what to tell you, you only screech and squawk without actually countering anything I've brought up. You call it "cope" when your only tactic is to compare what I'm saying to Trump supporters. Guess radlibs are gonna radlib, I suppose.

I outlined all already but you're delusional so I'm just memeing now.

You didn't, lmao. You're akin to a flat-earther, thinking that money doesn't control politics. Just look up the Koch Brothers and see what they've done to destroy the minds of American voters.

It's a good job Bernie's campaign raised more of it than Clinton's then

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You do realize that I never said it was about which campaign raised the most money, correct? Clinton was an establishment dem and had the rest of the establishment dems behind her, who in turn were bought by large Capitalists in one way or another.

You're legitimately a flat-earther, believing that every election is sacred and that the media and who's funding the media and who's funding political parties doesn't matter.

Again, check out the Heritage Foundation, the Koch Brothers, the entire Oil industry, and so forth.

Ok! Together we'll overthrow these awful capitalists! I'd say we should give two votes to every leftist, but they still probably wouldn't use them lol

Maybe one day you'll say something of substance. For what its worth, leftists absolutely do vote, the parties do not reflect the will of the people.
