He did get far. Millions of people voted for him, he won many districts, and then lost the primaries due to the fact that millions more people voted for Hillary and for Biden.

Yes, people ended up voting for Hillary and Biden after the DNC tipped the scales in favor of Biden and Hillary. Maybe the DNC should give him an equal opportunity.

So you admit it was a fair and democratic primary, that Hillary and Biden got more votes by huge margins?

I literally just described is as an unfair primary where the DNC had exert influence to get their candidates to win. If you are going to ignore what I wrote, I'm not going to waste my time with you

Keep on toeing that party line. It's doing wonders for the DNC.

Whats being anti-establishment doing for you? You enjoy having Trump?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The establishment is why we have Trump.

We have Trump because about 8 million DNC voters stayed home. More people showed up for Biden than Kamala.

Likewise if we want to remove Republicans then removing Democrats only harms us. We need to remove Republicans by voting independents and democrats into their districts.

So what does that say? Even with a demon like Trump as opposition the establishment democrats couldn't motivate their own base to vote. Obviously we want to vote against republicans. But the establishment was and is doing a horrible job of making that happen.

You're literally calling them horrible and responsible for literally their opponents being bad and you don't know why people aren't motivated to vote for them?
