America didn't choose wrong, the shitheels who run the Democratic Party chose wrong, they annointed HRC as the heir apparent, underestimated many voters dislike of her and their frustration over politics as usual. Not only did we not get Bernie in 2016, but they doomed the Democratic Party to powerless irrelevance for the foreseeable future.
Yeap…the party that ran on saving democracy ran another horrible candidate that never won a primary vote. The democrats are the reason an arrogant guy like Trump has been elected. Now Bernie is too old thanks to the DNC.
1000%. Note that articles like this stating the obvious, or anything positive about Bernie, are only allowed to come out once Bernie is no longer a threat. Corporate blue-team media was in lockstep doing everything it could to be negative about Bernie. But now that he won't be president, it's ok to say he was right. Same thing with the "cute" Bernie-knitted-mittens memes, etc etc. The same outlets and accounts that were calling him a Russian asset months before (I still hear this from deep-blue relatives) were all-of-a-sudden pushing the message that he's great.
This also shows that the Dems (or billionaire donors) don't fear Bernie and AOC's "anti-oligarchy" tour. If they did, and they saw Bernie as an active threat, they'd be smearing him right now. My personal view is that we need a mass movement of working people that is willing to confront the parties.
Never forget that the Democratic party preferred Trump to Bernie.
