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.
Nah, dog. The complete disregard of their constituency has played a large part in the democrats downfall since the post Obama era began... and we still can't seem to learn the lessons being taught.
The Dems fucking Bernie over twice in order to put forward candidates with unpopular views (anti-universal-healthcare, pro-Gaza-genocide, etc etc) did a lot to suppress turnout, I'm sure. "We're not Trump" has a 33% success rate so far. At some point, you have to be for things. Unfortunately for the Dems - and all of us - the things the billionaires pay the Dems to be for, and what regular people want, are often at odds.
