Fuck it. Let's pretend that Bernie somehow cost Hillary the election. Let's pretend that Hillary didn't intentionally prop up Trump. What does that say about her as a candidate if a self-described socialist can sway public opinion? What does it say about her ability as a politician? Why didn't she reach out to those Bernie supporters with anything meaningful?
They were so certain they didn't have to make any concessions, they looped back around to blaming socialists when it didn't work out for them.
The same socialists they were insulting for implying they even had a voice in the party.
Must be nice when Heads, they win - Tails, you lose.
This is the thing that is fucking INFURIATING. There wouldn't be "spoiler" parties if they simply shared fucking power with the footsoldiers of their political base. People aren't voting third party just to post the "I'll fuckin do it again" meme on r/Politics. They are doing it because the Democrats DELIBERATELY chose not only to exclude them, but to go out of their way to undermine them.

How does your student loan debt make you feel?
Tell us in 3 emojis or less.
This talking point is insane. RBG and whoever that other guy should have retired FFS. Also for all we know, Bernie could have won and we wouldn't have been at this situation.
I don't care to look it up, but I remember reading that the majority of bernie stans caved and ended up voting for Hillary. Not that it matters. The left in the US only exists so that whitecheck dipshits can use it as a scapegoat for why we need more fascism.
Of course a majority of Bernie voters were Hillary voters in the general. As these people love pointing out, Bernie-or-Bust die-hards are an overrepresented minority on Twitter. The numbers don't actually matter though, because in a liberal democracy, power can never fail the people, it can only be failed.
A significantly higher percentage of Bernie primary supporters voted for Hillary in 2016 than Hillary primary supporters voted for Obama 2008
Look, I'll clown on Bernie til the end of time, but I'll be damned if he wasn't better than pretty much any other viable alternative
Hey libs, you wanna not lose? Then don't prop up fucking losers
They've got to be bold to say such things after Hillary literally gave us Trump as part of a failed strategy.
Who appointed those justices???
Between the defeat in Afghanistan, the Supreme Court decision to effectively kill Roe, the continued disaster of Covid, and the catastrophe of climate change, Liberals are coming to terms with the fact that their entire political project has turned out to be an unmitigated disaster, and they are not handling it well.
I suppose it did for the Obamas and Clintons of the world, but millions of people truly believed that under the stewardship of the Liberals, the arc of history would inevitably trend towards justice. Those people are basically up shit's creek now.
Exactly, it was never intended to benefit those millions.
Americans are truly the most propagandized people on Earth.
The Hillary "slay queen" crowd is not being Ironic. They've been lead systematically to truly revel in that mindset.
Afghanistan is a win for the libs if we’re actually being reasonable about this.
For the anti-war libs it is good news, but for the partisans, Obama doubled down on that meat grinder and another chunk of his legacy just circled the drain.
At least Biden running out with his tail between his legs finally puts to the rest all the absolute dumbfuck lib takes about how "Obama couldn't just pull out!!! It's complicated!!!" and chuds with identical takes about Trump. Obama could have done the same exact goddamn thing with a similar or better outcome.
Of course those assholes started it, but Obama sent in an additional 17,000 troops and continued it with no end in sight for eight years.
he did add troops at one point, it was his "compromise" between leaving and adding 40k
Nah, being chased out at gunpoint like in Saigon is not a victory. They wouldn't have left if they had a choice. (See: Them not leaving even after the entire goddamn country fell apart, just waiting around until they got suicide bombed.)
they should have been ‘chased out’ by May of 2020 if that’s the case, that’s just wishful thinking if you don’t think the MIC didn’t want to keep their cash cow going.
Yup its all replaying again exactly the same now too, justice breyer should retire before the end of bidens term just in case but the libs are defending an old white man now cause uhhh idk the reason anymore but we're not allowed to talk about it
when not wanting to blame your republican friends/family/spouse gives you brainworms :brainworms:
They always blame Jill stein too and like she is hardly 1% of the vote but never EVER say a word about the libertarian vote thst is typically 4x higher lol
10mins after writing this I refresh my feed and this is what I see lmao https://twitter.com/rezaaslan/status/1433452420013514753?s=19
no I hope they honestly do keep blaming us and losing. How many Ls do they have to take to learn?
they prefer losing to the right than the left winning. therefore their losses, as long as the right is the winner, are still partial victories.
I love the "Hillary warned us 😢" people, like what, she warned us Trump was bad?? How could she say some thing so controversial yet so brave :eric-andre:
“The variety of candidates is a positive here, and many of the lesser known can serve as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right. In this scenario, we don’t want to marginalize the more extreme candidates, but make them more ‘Pied Piper’ candidates who actually represent the mainstream of the Republican Party,” read the memo.
“Pied Piper candidates include, but aren’t limited to: • Ted Cruz • Donald Trump • Ben Carson We need to be elevating the Pied Piper candidates so that they are leaders of the pack and tell the press to [take] them seriously."
wow she really did warn people
This tactic got Claire McCaskill into the Senate once and Dems think they can sweep the nation with it.
Dude it's gonna be 2030 and the polar ice caps are all melted and coastal cities will have dramatically shrunk in land mass and the StillWithHer clowns are going to be on Twitter in their air conditioned bunker in Wyoming tweeting out to other rich blue checks also in their bunkers that this is all berniebros fault
Oh shit oh fuck which of you kept shredding RBG's resignation letters and forced her at gunpoint to officiate weddings in the middle of a pandemic
“If you wouldn’t have tried to get health care we wouldn’t have ended up with less health care”?
This all could have been avoided if the vote blue no matter who crowd stayed home during the primaries.
Love how the blue no matter who's really seemed to care about the who
I was wearing my Hillary t-shirt in NYC and a woman stopped me and said essentially, “Thank you for wearing that. I would like to do the same but the Bernie supporters are so aggressive I don’t feel safe.”
I'm dying :lmayo:
The Bernie Bros were that :baseball-crank: gang in The Warriors.
I wonder how safe they would feel in Libya. :agony-soviet:
Thanks Hillary!
virgin norms respecter :biden-fall:
chad court packer :chavez-guns:
really looking forward to seeing this take for the next twenty years
