Edit:
I've changed my mind on this.
Let the DNC go full MAGA and when they lose, because they will lose, they get the heat and we can eject them forever. At least sit them in a corner.
Progressives, you fight if you want but I don't believe the elections will be fair so it's a win win for you.
Rigged how?
Okay, so it should have been easy for him to get out the vote in the primaries, right?
I literally pointed out that I'm a Bernie supporter. Did you forget to read the comment before replying or something?
Would you like to remind me what Bernie's weakest demographics were in the Dem primaries, in 2016 and 2020?
Anyone who genuinely support Sanders would not be begging the questions and pretending not to know how the DNC deliberately sidelined him; nor not know how popular his policies are when polled among Americans, which the polls are easily searched on the Internet if one types how popular a given Bernie Sanders or the general progressive proposals are.
You are not really fooling anyone feigning to be Bernie supporter but an actual DNC sock puppet. It is not my problem though, it is the Democratic party who will keep losing (not that they care, they mind more not alienating their rich donors that also fund the Republicans).
Lord.
When I read this whole chain, what I really want to know is what you think of convention superdelegates? I think pretty much every Sanders supporter thinks he was forced out by the establishment via superdelegates.
I wish that was true, but Bernie lost the majority of pledged delegates. Superdelegates were the only means by which he could have won the convention. If superdelegates were not a thing, if it was only pledged delegates, Bernie still would have lost.
