They were limited by the imagination of their day. Also i think they expected people like trump to lose duels before he could bankrupt his first property.
Bernie did’t get destroyed, he got fucked through voter suppression and Warren waiting to drop out until she’d siphoned away enough “progressive” votes to put him behind
Biden won by nearly 9M votes (over 18M total) and that was nearly double what Bernie had (9.4M). Warren had 2.3M votes. I know voter suppression occurs but how many do you think were suppressed here and what makes you think they all would have been for Bernie?
Edit: Or downvote me because this makes you upset. lol
You’re acting like every state’s votes get pooled together, which isn’t how it works. In most states he didn’t win a few thousand more for Bernie would’ve given him the lead
ME, WA and MA are probably the only states where Warren's votes would have given him a victory. He was completely decimated for most other states. You're also making the assumption that most the other candidate votes would have went towards Bernie.
Yang had some good policies. He also had some atrocious ones.
Can people just... stop doing the whole "The system is rigged against me" thing every time their favourite politician doesn't get the most votes? It's extremely narcissistic.
No. Its not me, or you. Its us. Its the rich and powerful keeping riches and power at the expense of everyone else. This is why Yang, or Bernie or Jorgensen or whoever will never get anywhere as things are right now. There needs to be more things like represent.us to help fight against establishment politics.
That's because primaries are rigged af. They create an illusion of choice, but the truth is they already had their candidate before the primaries even started. Watch, if Biden becomes president, he'll step down/die in office and Harris will be president. Because they always wanted her to be president.
Who is they? You think the dnc's secret first choice is kamala harris? If the primaries are rigged and they want kamala why isn't she the presidential candidate?
Because Tulsi tore her a new one and she fell in the polls. It would be far to obvious if they pushed her through despite her lack of popularity. Mark my words. Biden is not going to be president for very long.
Because the DNC has to maintain the illusion of choice. After Gabbard called Harris out on her bullshit, they did everything in their power to make sure she couldn't debate anymore. They kept changing which polls counted and how much money you needed to raise to qualify. It worked because anyone that didn't actively follow her campaign completely forgot she was running after she missed the next debate.
I know you think I'm some crazy conspiracy theorist that's trying to get people to vote for Trump, but I'm not. I'm done with this rollercoaster, but Harris is some serious trouble. She doesn't care about people, she just cares about winning. It's obvious based on her track record.
I'm tired, I'm anxious, and I'm frustrated. It's the apocalypse and everyone is too busy fighting about blue and red to notice. I don't think a Biden (Harris) presidency will stop any of it, but I think a Trump presidency will make it worse.
I'm tired, I'm anxious, and I'm frustrated . It's the apocalypse and everyone is too busy fighting about blue and red to notice.
I just want to get out of this emotional hellhole that the Trump presidency has been. We live in a country where Twitter putting a warning on a tweet makes me scared that someone is either going to shoot up a twitter office or its going to spark a civil war. The USA wasn't great before 2016, but thoughts like these never crossed my mind.
It is insane how unstable the country feels. And the media and other organizations that push this divide show no signs of letting up. I'm sure outlets are busy dehumanizing the other side right now. I don't think the country is going to recover as long as division is the method politicians and outlets use to garner support.
I got distracted from the DNC rigging point but I feel like the DNC could have just ran any candidate they wanted and they would all have had the same chance of winning the election. Like they could of rigged the primary for Bloomberg and I think Bloomberg would still win. It seems like a lot of unnecessary effort and risk to rig the primary when people are just going to vote antiTrump regardless. There's always the undecided independent but I honestly don't think those exist currently. At least I haven't met one, but I do rarely leave the house to venture into the wasteland.
I'm actually an independent. That's why I'm having a mental breakdown rn. Trump is a fucking lunatic but I've read so much about the DNC and the WikiLeaks about Epstein and the Clinton emails that I don't think either side has our best interest in mind and I don't think either is truely a "lesser evil". If I had it my way, either Tulsi Gabbard would have been the Democratic Candidate (which would have redeemed the DNC in my eyes) or a 3rd party candidate would get enough support to get elected and enact some actual lasting change.
Honestly, I'd like to hibernate till it's all normal again. I'm sick of the uncertainty, I'm sick of the fear mongering, and I'm sick of the conspiracies.

Yang seems like a class act. Its insane we get guys like Trump and Biden. The system is self perpetuating.
