    I love Bernie, always have and it’s complete bullshit how badly they fucked him in 2016 and forced Hilary upon us.

    I love Bernie too. Yes the primary voters “forced Hillary upon you”. That’s how primary elections work. I am so sick of the Trumpian “elections are rigged” crap. That is Trump style shit that I’m sick of.

    Why? Because they make empty promises while simultaneously gaslighting and lying to their faces, and they eat it right up. How do you convince people that the GOP hates them when they refuse to listen to reality?

    This part is actually an excellent analysis.

      I see you forgot about the whole “super delegate” fiasco. But not only that, the DNC leadership made it abundantly clear from the beginning that they wanted Bernie to fall in line. There were a few times that Obama even called him to the White House. There is a reason he went Independent shortly afterwards.
