It's not like they had 2 Bernie primaries to learn...

Bernie lost the primaries.
Sure the corporate media spent every day talking about what a dangerous unelectable person he was.
Sure the same corporate media was happy to report about how because of super delegates he had basically no shot at winning and a smart voter wouldn’t throw their vote away on such a dangerous lunatic.
Sure Chris Matthews literally said that he was worried people like him would be executed by chairmen sanders
And yea the DNC marshaled all their money and influence against him.
And then the corporate media did just start calling whoever he was running against the presumptive nominee.
But that’s what makes these dangerous leftists so unelectable, billionaires and millionaires paid by billionaires keep calling them unelectable.
Won’t someone please, for once, think about the poor billionaires and what’s best for them and their media companies?
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz sandbagged Bernie and there is absolutely no denying it. And you're right, she did it because the DNC, just like the GOP, is more than happy to suck the dick of the rich man. But neither the DNC nor the GOP actually matter...it's what the voters believe. And, I'm not sure if you noticed or not, but all those kids who grew up post-9/11 are largely pretty fucking overt with their opposition to the rich man. Times they are a changing. The old parties can get on board, or they can be burned down with everything else.
As a Bernie supporter for every campaign he ran, I saw him get fucked over. I still remember when all the centrists rallied behind Biden so he could win a bunch of primaries in states he would end up losing in the general election and that was it, the story was now that Biden had unstoppable momentum.
I remember saying at the time that a Biden presidency would just be hitting snooze on fascism and the very serious Dems telling me I was just dining on sour grapes.
I’ll finish the rest of this post after I show my papers to ICE, trumps personal paramilitary which is now one of the best well funded organizations in the world.
