    she was a terrible candidate, but how in the world did Trump not motivate people to vote for her?

    Easy, as you said: she was a terrible candidate

    They wanted to get that first woman “status quo” president again. It lost them more votes than it won. I can’t believe they didn’t even have another round of primaries.

    When they shut out bernie they really fucked the party. This timeline is their fault as much as anyone else’s.

      AOC would have been a better “woman” candidate

      The problem was that they needed someone to the right of Biden

      You’re goddamn right about that. I have voted for Bernie every time I could.

      In the beginning of the last primary when he had that lead for like a week, I was so happy that I cried every time I heard “front runner Bernie Sanders”.

      Dems are controlled opposition and everyone knows it.

      I still vote for them, at least until a better alternative comes along. But we have to build better systems because the establishment will not save us.
