If Bernie Sanders leaves the Democratic Party i will follow him.

He won't. He knows splitting the D vote will guarantee an R win. Unlike many voters who think they're making a statement.

At this point i think i am done with the Democratic Party.

Then, unfortunately, you are with the republicans. I'm personally looking forward to the DNC primaries in 2-3 years. Maybe we'll see the next Bernie take a stance. The point is, the DNC primaries are where you should make your point.

It's really fucking tiring to see you americans singing along to the tune of the 'us vs them' rhethoric.

I don't know what he has planned, but in my book he's the most likely candidate to break the 2-party system.

Jokes on you, I'm not American at all! I suppose it takes a certain number of years on the planet to see that the 2-party system is not going anywhere. You just have to accept to play within the constraints and hope to get the best you can.

I’m not American, but because their politics looms so large I’m kind of forced to pay attention. And I have to say, I’m real fucking bored of waiting for the Democrats to back the next Bernie. I swear I’ve been reading about The Next Bernie since they shafted The Original Bernie in 2016.

Well, buckle up. Progress is slow, but if we're very lucky we'll see some within our lifetimes. Not in the next 4 years tho.

And this is why the DNC must be destroyed.

You can't get Americans to vote if you are just like "you don't deserve an interesting candidate, not in 4 years, not ever" this has been the fucking case since 2016. The DNC had ample time, but they've done nothing but drop the ball.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

All right. Well good luck destroying the DNC.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

That what i said. I would follow Bernie Sanders

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

He already did, didn't you see the refreshing band of green next to his name amid all the red and blue? He generally votes the same as the Dems though.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He's actually an independent, he just works with the Dems to get shit done.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 weeks ago

when they aren’t directly obstructing him
