    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.

      And anyone who complains about the DNC picking the candidate will be downvoted and ignored. We learn nothing from history.

    Bernie beating Trump is a nice fantasy, but it wouldn’t happen either.

    This election was an information war, and the Democrats fought it like they’re in another century. And they’re going to lose again if they think sensible policy, however revolutionary and in-touch, and hopeful TV ads are how you win elections.

    They need their own form of MAGA. And they need to flood and poison the internet and airwaves just like the Republicans did.

      You don’t know this. The DNC doesn’t know this (otherwise, why did Harris take such a beating?). There certainly is an argument for that, but it’s no way guaranteed. Sure, he might lose some finance bros in NY, but Bernie would definitely speak exactly to the people in the swing states. People who look at Trump to fix their economic problems without anything concrete.

        They don’t care. It’s clearly not about the message, it’s the delivery, and Bernie would have used the same apparatus Harris used.

        We’ll capitulate hard and “meet them across the aisle.” That’ll surely work this time! Now, how far’s that aisle slid off to?

      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.

        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.
