It is time for local and state governments to resist more forcefully the lawlessness and cowardice of an out-of-control federal government under the thumb of Trump.
And if they hadn’t put their thumb on the scale for Hillary in 2016, and she hadn’t decided to reach for some imaginary middle razor thin between corporate liberals and fascists, Trump would just be another dumb clown that tried to be a Republican presidential candidate.
Yes, because if we weren’t captured by a single-party corporate system we wouldn’t be in this mess. Reactionary fascism arises from the material immiseration of the people. If the Democrats were beholden to improving the lives of citizens rather than clinging to power and corporate interests, we would not be in this mess.
I feel that, for a lot of folks, he was the last candidate that promised an actual brighter future to believe in. It’s a shame corporate donors pushed him out of the race, as it left a lot of folks feeling that their voices would never be heard.
I think it’s even fair to say that his dismissal by the Democrat party directly led to the voter resentment that helped Trump win the elections.
The DNC literally admitted to braking it own rules and cheating for Hillary in court.
Your bullshit here that Bernie couldn’t win the primary so he wouldn’t win the general is post-hoc rationalization of the DNC being an undemocratic institution and justifying their theft of the party.
Without addressing that theft, no primary in the world will fix this.

Ten years later and you’re still talking about Bernie losing the primary.

Yeah I get he lost and people are sad but the next step is to move on instead of letting what’s happening happen.

Them saying that they are a private institution and make their own rules isn’t quite saying what Trump and co told you it meant.
It was the easiest legal argument to make.
