    I’m not going to put my foot on the scales for you.

    Fucking hell, that hits hard. I feel like so much of this current shit show can be traced back to the DNC’s full court push of Hillary. Winning against Trump should have been a fucking cake walk, but no, lets do this hard mode.

    🥲 indeed.

    People still were looking for more of the change that Obama campaigned on, and you intervene and force Bernie out for Hillary when Trump’s whole campaign was on radical change? What I wouldn’t give to know the truth behind that fuck up of a decision…

      I honestly think pushing Hillary is the whole reason why we have this current timeline.

      And it’s not just that they were pushing hillary, it’s not something so simple. It was the disenfranchisement of voter desire, the feeling of betrayal that so many people were so enthusiastic about their support of Sanders and to have that snatched out from underneath them by the people that were supposed to be on their side that did it.

      That year is the only year I voted third party, and I was in a Southern state at the time that voted massively for Trump so my vote didn’t really matter, but if it affected me personally then I can imagine it affected many other people, and obviously, collectively, it did matter.
