              She doesn't even know if she wants to stay in the House fam. Shits complicated. I would expect she runs against Schumer to test herself first before she tries the presidency, especially with Kopmala around and Joe Biden still breathing.

              If anything she's young. She can afford the wait. Our climate can't or whatever, but that was fucked a long time ago.

                That's what she said publically. But who knows? It can be a way to divert the attention of the right of the democratic party away from that danger.

        I think it helped to radicalize a lot of people. I was left leaning before but seeing how the bourgeois electoral politics process did everything it can to make sure workers get absolutely nothing from the government finally pushed me over the edge

      Man, good ol' Shadow app, developed by fucking Acronym. The dude in charge of it was photographed hanging out with Buttigieg's campaign manager at a bar days before the caucus right? Or am I mixing something up there

    I rewatched a live stream of a Bernie rally I attended a week before the last big primary day, and I realized that was the last time I genuinely felt joy and hope. Nina Turner and Cornel West were there, and it felt amazing being in a room with 1000 other people cheering for police reform, free public college, higher taxes on billionaires, and healthcare for all. Feels like a different time, man. :negative:

    Edit: Not to mention seeing boomers getting exposed to a federal jobs program and a federal housing program. When will we see those issues mentioned on the national level again?

    fucking young ppl let him down, even before the Biden consolidation you could tell

    Iowa was the canary in the coal mine and his 1% New Hampshire win convinced me we were fucked, there just was not the turnout and unity we needed to overcome the MSNBC boomer vote who were united in there anti Bernie vote, while young ppl were still standing by and/or even worse voting for Pete because he was a millenial or Warren because she's "female Bernie".

    I talked to some coworkers in CO, a state Bernie won, one young guy around my age was undecided up to election day (still don't know if he even voted or who for), another guy said he liked Pete but couldn't explain why and didn't even know Bernie wanted to cancel student loans despite having 40k in debt

    I hate my generation

      Yeah campaigning for Clinton will do that to you, why should young people believe in your "political revolution" if you don't believe in it yourself?

        He went on TV yesterday saying Biden hasn't appointed any progressives to his cabinet yesterday, Bernie is still Bernie afterall, that's what made him good to begin with.

        He just also doesn't believe that third parties have a future and that Democrats are pretty much always better than Republicans.

        Imagine how funny it would be if Bernie was the holdout that prevented Neera from getting appointed hahahaha

        It's too bad he won't.
