    The Ratfucking of Bernie Sanders during the democratic primaries was super obvious to watch in real time (speaking as a non-yank looking in), but I think it'd be hard to part that curtain of brainworms since you'll just immediately get pegged as a Bernie bro wrecker who's the real cause of the country's collapse

    Otherwise, quote endless stats about Obama's drone strikes and civilian casualties. Bury them with raw data.

      There’s been so much revisionism about Bernie too. Talk to the 538 crowd and he was never a front runner, Biden was always a popular contender, and everyone dropping out to endorse Biden had nothing to do with Bernie. In fact, Bernie almost made Biden lose to Trump because he didn’t concede sooner

      Watching it happen was agonizing, but what was worse was how so few people noticed.

      It's what convinced me that not just liberals, but the average news consumer in America is spoonfed to be broken. It happened so blatantly and people were not even phased.

      Also the smug reaction to it from neo-liberal co-workers was stunning because they knew it was lies and they smiled because they didn't care if they cheated. They cry foul when Republicans do it but when put up against anything remotely left, liberals turn into crooked mobsters.

        :rage-cry: B-BUT IT'S JUSTIFIED BECAUSE BERNIE COULDN'T HAVE BEAT TRUMP AND BECAUSE OF BERNIE BROS WE STILL HAVE TRUMP RUNNING AGAIN IN 2024 AND BERNIE WILL HAND THE ELECTION TO TRUMP EVEN THOUGH HE ISN'T RUNNING

          :monke-rage:

          That said, I hope they blame me. I want them to know that until they comprimise with me, they won't taste power. It should be easy for them after all, they do it with the Republicans all the time. :capitalist-laugh:

      :wtyp:, you don't have the ecosystem of brainworms unique to the American brain. Fisher's Capitalist Realism didn't even begin to scratch the surface of what it's like here. People thought Biden was for M4A.

        The US political system is a better argument for Third Worldism than books worth of Maoist Theory.
