    Really wish I could reroute it to Lebanon red cross rn

      Bernie lost. He has to play the game on the loser's terms. Defeat sucks.

            And what type of concession would Biden have been obligated to even attempt to follow through on, anyway? If Biden pinky promised to try and pass M4A, does anyone believe he'd do that? If he tried to do it, do you think he'd be able to push it through?

          despite the fact that it had no chance of succeeding, the veil was pulled from the eyes of many people. it had to be demonstrated that despite the largest efforts of the american population to change the system through electoralism, the system itself is rigged. this alone lead to the radicalization of thousands and thousands of people.

          the only people who actually think the primary was legitimate now are extremely gullible people or are nefarious in their will.

          yes, bernie was never going to win, but your money didn't go to waste. this is of course not meant to trivialize that people are in need of monetary help right now, but the idea that it didn't go towards helping the working class materially is not something i'd subscribe to. things take time, but a lot of people are much more informed about how things actually are now. the emperor has no clothes and such.

          That money wouldn't even have been there without the Bernie campaign, there was and is no central organization

      Honestly. I'm in the same boat, living paycheck to paycheck and donated waaay too much to Bernie's campaign. I mean, it's probably not a lot to anyone above the poverty line, but I digress.
