they would have probably said Bernie used to be Hugo Chavez's sex slave and Americans would have eaten it up
For real, the whole country was begging for help and he was the only one that would have talked about it. Biden just shut up and hoped the Trump hate would bring him over the finish line.
I've said this before, but its the "I should have invested in Apple in the early 90s" logic. The other part of that that nobody every thinks about is the "not selling said stocks" for 30 years part. The forces against Bernie were going to grow and grow and grow the closer he got to power. Probably to the point where the DNC would have just nominated Obama directly for a third term, if it came down to it. Or maybe Bernie gets heart-attacked. Or whatever. In a fair fight, sure, Bernie would have won. But Bernie was going up against the entire neoliberal capitalist class and was incredibly out gunned.
Agreed. Either being a lib, or being naive, the results were the same.
The DNC refused to participate in interviews by the lawyers who conducted the audit.
Definitely not trying to hide wrongdoing, no sir
Just found out I am as well but somebody else posted there. Shockingly the post has been downvoted into oblivion
lol remember when Troy Price was flailing his way through a press conference and the "Democratic Party" sign fell off his podium
EDIT: https://streamable.com/jdinu
the DNC demanded the technology company, Shadow, build a conversion tool just weeks before the caucuses to allow the DNC to have real-time access to the raw numbers because the national party feared the app would miscalculate results.
uhhh weird the raw numbers weren't in the initial design but okay
The DNC’s data system used a different database format than Shadow’s reporting app, which caused multiple problems.
w...what? How do you fuck that up? Literally 1 round of QA should have revealed those issues
the conversion tool had coding errors that spit out inaccurate numbers
:side-eye-1:
The report notes the DNC contributed in part to the delay of the original app, saying the organization “aggressively interjected itself in all of the IDP’s technology endeavors,”
hey remember that image that circulated on how to stop progress and be a wrecker
“The DNC has certainly taken the position that there should no longer be caucuses in any state and has imposed requirements that make it even more difficult to carry out caucus,” the report concludes.
Caucuses are unironically bad, but bernie did exceedingly well at them. that's what this is about.
I just read through it and laughed. So pathetic. The entire thing made them look like fools. I really wonder when/if we get another Bernie-esque candidate how they’ll ratfuck that person.
