Every time I say this to liberals or trumpets I start off slow by saying 'the election was stolen' part and then seeing their cringe or glee and then I start going on about how their votes are basically meaningless because theyre not billionaire campaign donors.
Weirdly its mostly the trumpets that agree with the second part.
Super Tuesday in 2020 made me realize the Dems treat the process of electing a leader like McDonald's does a build-a-burger contest. So people could feel profoundly that Bernie Sanders is correct, but the manager in charge of the burger contest isn't really going to start giving people "bag of lettuce and mayonnaise," so they'll just tinker with the process so it doesn't get the most votes.
Boaty McBoatface tier fuckery. "Oh, you want healthcare, wages, and doing something about the fascists killing you in the street? Nah, you actually voted for genocide and union busting, but we'll co-opt your ironic meme in one picture on our website and wear a Kente cloth in the single most out of touch meaningless statement of all time."
2020 me (ironically): “the election was stolen”
2024 me (unironically): “the election was stolen”
every year, me (unironically): "the election was stolen by capital"
