The important point about this today, is that the Party base, the group that votes in these primaries today, is far more in line with Sanders' agenda with an anti-establishment base than at any time since the 1932 convention that chose FDR to lead the party

You're arguing with losers who have completely lost the plot. Bernie was right, and the party establishment was wrong: they've lost the base. So these liberal warriors are out there on their little islands, fighting for imperial Japan, 30 years after the war has been over.

bernie might have been right but he still lost! twice! he was bad at campaigning!

No he was fine at campaigning. In 2020, he was winning: until the DNC got all the remaining candidates to line up behind Biden after winning South Carolina, a state Democrats were not going to win. The Democratic Party is a private organization and can just do that, after all. That's "rat fucking".

@femiurge.bsky.social

first campaign he ran was really good actually. second one less so

Party insiders putting their thumb on the scale to nominate the candidate with a worse chance of winning in the general is a pretty good distillation of how we got to a second Trump term

Listen man, you can't argue with results. As we all know Clinton went on to win the presidential election in a landslide. Probably. Gonna be honest with you, I haven't bothered to check how it turned out yet.

Polling says yes, and pretty decisively as well. The DNC Primary isn't a reflection of the entire pool of possible voters.
