I don't know how many times these people need to be told that more Bernie voters ended up voting for Hillary than Hillary voters voted for Obama in 08
Luckily, this (and Bernie campaigning for Hillary in 2016) pretty much ends this conversation for all but a few weirdo holdouts. It never really caught on during the 2020 primary, which is when it would have mattered.
and Bernie campaigning for Hillary in 2016
Every time I've mentioned this, I've gotten the exact same reply: he was pretending to campaign for Hillary just to sell his book and earn money
Classic. It’s an unwinnable position, it’s entrenched in their identity as victims. Believing differently would shatter their reality.
Tangentially related: I’ve never sat down to do the research, but I remember for at least a period Bernie was out-campaigning Hillary on her behalf. Specifically, I remember Hillary disappeared in August (aside from private events with wealthy donors), which is when the Parkinson’s rumours really took hold amongst chuds and Jimmy Dore. Of course, it was probably her lingering pneumonia that led to the beautiful moment of I FEEL GREAT on September the 11th.
I know Enough Sanders Spam on Reddit has a post on their sidebar "debunking" this stat, they claim it only comes from one survey/poll and that they have data proving otherwise.
I'd say a subreddit railing against Sanders late in 2021 qualifies as a "weirdo holdout." It didn't land with most people, as evidenced by him leading the primary until the coordinated drop out/endorsement of Biden.
They're libs. To them McCain was a respectable gentleman war hero who they just had Differences of Opinion™ with, and Trump was a rude buffoon who embarrassed the US with his ignorance and explicit racism. So voting for McCain is OK but not voting against Trump is not.
They really think the Republican party suddenly turned bad in 2016 because of Trump and Russia.
I don't know who told you otherwise, but facts do not matter to people like this unless they can be used for their benefit.
also i wonder if maybe hillarys "pied piper" strategy might be somewhat relevant
she's writing like the useless democrats don't currently hold the presidency and the majority in both houses
But they still aren't getting anything done, and everyone can see the GOP retaking everything in the next two elections, so it still must be Bernie's fault, or else they'd have to conclude the biggest voter turnout in American history wasn't enough to save their precious system.
Joe Biden could literally shoot a woman in the face and they'd blame Bernie lmao
:dem: I could chain whip Corn Pop on 5th Avenue and they’d still blame my good friend Colonel Sanders, Jack!
Biden is only shooting that woman because she says capitalism is shit, which she only is saying BECAUSE SANDERS RAN AGAINST CLINTON IN 2016!
Why are they still whining about this? They won. They won with finality. There's not going to be another Bernie-like figure in presidential politics before the empire fully collapses in on itself.
They don't even realize they're being like Trump - of all people - after he whined and whined and whined year after year about not winning by enough in 2016.
If this keeps up, President Bernie's approval rating is in big trouble
holy shit just pack the court god damn
Better yet I wish these weirdos would figure out the Dems don't care about any of this shit
I don't think they could with the current senate lol. shit at this point if a justice died tomorrow i think they'd fail to appoint a new one and blame it on Joe Manchin until giving up the seats in the midterms.
All this mess is actually Rosa Luxemburgo's fault for not shoot back her assassin, Bernie Sanders
the ability to do anything about climate change this generation
Does this person think that the only way regular people can deal with climate change is by voting every four years?
all of us looking out the windows in horror as a climate change induced nuclear wildfire hurricane arises out of the horizon to kill us all
liberal in the corner "Everyone, quick! Vote for a Democrat in 4 years!"
Bernie Sanders made less on his book deals than someone his age should have saved up for retirement already.
Pride flag ,Star of David emote, and... a desert. What kind of combo is this?
Don't get the desert one though
In the most blackly funny interpretation, it's a reference to Zion National Park.
Whoa, they made the place from Fallout New Vegas a real place?! :so-true:
That’s…just the Star of David.
I mean based on her takes she probably supports the Israeli state…but what you said is bordering on antisemitism I feel
As an ignorant slut myself, I take offense to this title. Bernie is NOT one of us. He's not cool enough to be.
counterpoint:
:bernie-pout:
Remember the press briefing in his living room where all the lamps were on the floor.
