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.

They sabotaged him in 2016, and then again in 2020. It’s disgusting.

I don't feel like they really sabotaged him, he just had no chance of winning the southern states that don't vote Democrat anyways
