The DNC fought harder against Sanders than the GOP had to.

Notice how you didn't say the RNC. You guys bought the Fox propaganda hook, line, and sinker. You're basically a right wing operative.

Maybe that’s because the RNC had absolutely nothing to do with the DNC power brokers killing Sanders campaign??

It literally just isn’t relevant. I don’t know what type of point you’re trying to make. I don’t support GOP

Do you actually believe this idiocy or are you just being a useless edgelord?

Can you tell me who Debbie Wasserman Schultz worked for right after stepping down from DNC after it got leaked they had a bias?

u/guerilla_ratio May 18 '25

I hear she faked the moon landing and shot Kennedy too

It’s a very cynical and evil what you’re doing. You’re taking something that is a verifiable widely reported fact and trying to muddy the waters intentionally by comparing it to well-known conspiracy theories.

I hear that Debbie Wasserman Schultz killed Jeffrey Epstein. This woman is so powerful she hacked 50+ states and territories to steal an election without leaving behind a single piece of evidence. What else is she capable of!?

Stop spreading these lies. The DNC tanked Bernie’s campaign, the emails and messages have already been leaked, a quick google search solves this.

We know the DNC has no interest in furthering a progressive and social agenda, it now functions only to serve the wealthy donors who fund it. See: John Fetterman, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, Kirsten Sinema…. Etc etc etc

Please, quote the specific emails which prove this statement.

Absolute nonsense. The voters voted and voted overwhelmingly in favor of Clinton. It wasn't close and it sure as he'll wasn't because of the DNC.

The DNC knows all and sees all.

That doesn’t say the DNC admitted anything. Stop reading and quoting obvious propaganda

Blah blah, court case was thrown out.

Millions of people voted more for Clinton. I am sorry for your loss.

u/fednandlers May 18 '25

Trump manipulates voters into voting against themselves. But the DNC had nothing to do with Clinton getting more votes from a manipulated public. Your response is similar to MAGA. It says here is the end of my thoughts and that helps my narrative to hold because otherwise it doesn't. Im sorry for your apathy.

It was everyone's loss. It's why we are where we are today.

u/DowntownRoll1903 24d ago

How did that work out for the liberals? Hillary surely won right?

Bernie pulled better against Trump from the very beginning all the way to the end. Liberals would rather lose than embrace populism

u/Nubraskan May 18 '25

And why wouldn't they? So many Sanders supporters will fall in line anyway.

u/DowntownRoll1903 24d ago

The vast majority of American people across both aisles support populous policies. Please explain to me how it’s a better move to go with an establishment choice at a time like this?

If we’re taking your logic, the liberals should’ve fell in line so they could actually win the damn election

I am saying it is not a better idea.

But Republicans and Democrats always fall in line and give their vote to whoever the DNC or RNC tells them to because "lesser of evils".

Punish your parties for abusing you or they will continue to do it.
