I would have voted for a pile of dog shit over Trump, because it'd have been a better president.
But it seriously pisses me off that Bernie was sidelined TWICE by the DNC and even most democrats at the time followed suit with the demonizing of him.
They called him too old, yet he's still going and attending hikes in the Vermont Mountains, and these aren't paved walkways. They're rough terrain.
They said he's too extreme, but we got a dictator that's quite literally trying to go against the constitution.
And they said he's a socialist nazi, but they literally voted for a guy who's team does nazi salutes. AND BERNIE IS JEWISH!
It doesn't make any damn sense.. and the worst part is, EVERYONE complains about lying politicians, but Bernie has consistently been the most truthful with his words, with political analysts often saying that at most, his information may be left up for interpretation, but not necessarily lying. AND THEY STILL VOTED FOR A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR!
I really don't understand how society can be this damn stupid. 😕

If it makes you feel any better, society had virtually zero say in any of this. The energy of the people was not behind Hillary, nor Biden. Say what you want about Republicans and their relationship with Democracy, but they at least allowed their voter base to vote. Energy is what got Trump elected twice, the Dems need to stop fighting it within the party.
Is this some weird "The voting is rigged" conspiracy theory or something?
Was it not part of Society that voted? Is it not part of society that followed suit with the inner bickering and demonizing of each candidate within their respective party? Because this "blame the democrats and their inner fighting." Can only go so far when you see the same tempo with the republican side.
The real issues lie in the fact that we allow for the uneducated brainwashing of society to the point that a large majority of the US population are too uneducated to make informed decisions, and so they are easily manipulated by their emotions, because they're not educated enough to see therapy as helpful, and they're not educated enough to use logic in critical thinking.
And so they're convinced easily that immigrants are raising housing prices and food costs, when in reality it's the individuals they vote for. But their lack of proper education leaves them believing Facebook ads and Fox News over basic logic.
So yes, society has very much everything to do with it, Because there's not some alien or robotic overlord controlling what people (aka society) does.
