The DNC needs to go. All of it. Literally just gone. There needs to be a real left grassroots party that maintains a much more tight ideological vision and focuses internally.
We never got to feel the Bern… :(
"Bernie is too old to be president" immediately votes in people just as old 3 times in a roe
If only we could go back in time and make Bernie the Dem candidate and save Harambe.
Not just Harambe, but also Peanut.
Don't you all worry your pretty little heads about any of this. In 4 years, the DNC will pick yet another anointed candidate for you to fall in line behind like good little boys and girls. And you all will dance and scream for joy and you will punish and cast out any who show signs of opposition to the one true anointed candidate.
As it was, is now and ever shall be. World without end of the Almighty DNC, Amen.
I could be wrong but polling I've seen says 83% of black men and 93% black women voted Democrat. Latinos and White people voted closer to 50% between the two parties
More importantly, many of them (up to 12M, counting is still ongoing) stayed at home.
Latinos were the biggest loss as far as I can tell. There is a host of reasons why this group crumbled.
Let's see how they like seeing family members deported.
Not just family members.
If you and your entire family are suddenly thrown in a cage, who are you gonna call to grab your birth certificate from the safe deposit box?
The prince that was promised...
I agree 100% we needed him. If you asked me 8 years ago I'd even say I honestly believe we, as Americns, deserve him. I'm now very seriously wondering that. It's starting to feel like we don't. Im against collective punishment so I don't mean to say that implies people who are going to suffer from this deserve their suffering, but I'm not sure that implies we deserve a politician like him. Glad as hell we have him in whatever office we can though.
We coulda had a bad bitch.
You need to save these things for future use
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.
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.
He's actually an independent, he just works with the Dems to get shit done.
when they aren’t directly obstructing him
Sanders put out a statement today:
Before I finished reading I was gonna say that while I love Bernie, him talking shit now seemed pretty "hindsight 20/20" considering he endorsed her.
But the "serious convo" and "stay tuned" is interesting. I hope he overthrows DNC or starts his own shit with AOC.
Bernie's 2020 campaign national press secretary:
Yeah. There it is. I hope he’s able to speak his mind finally. We need him.
Dude, most of us kept our mouth shut as to not dissuade people from voting. Obviously it wasn't enough. But now we can gripe and cope freely.
