Cool that a Democratic rep can just admit this now when trying to get rid of Biden

    You mean that everyone dropping out and endorsing Biden right before Super Tuesday, except the one candidate that actually ate into Bernie’s base, wasn’t a totally organic event?

    Democrats in 2016/2020: Bernie is too old (he was 75/79 and sharp as a tack)

    Democrats in 2024: suck it up and vote for Biden (he’s 81 and has lost the plot)

    Also Bernie is only 1 year older than Biden

      Bernie still got it in ‘24, but you can’t blame him for not wanting the rug pull, again.

      No apologies from all the libs that said we were all secret Russians for voting Bernie and that it was a totally fair primary.

      Can’t wait to get blamed for trump winning again. Except I dont think anyone is going to give a flying fuck about the scolding this time. We have all lived through a trump administration and there are ample examples of Biden being the same or worse on trumpian policy.

      I really hope this destroys the DNC

    • i mean Malcom X’s family in the 90s won a lawsuit against the government confirming that the FBI killed him and like no one talks about it

      there was the time the USA experimented on babies by irradiating them and seeing what happens

      The USA used Japanese troops to fight the Chinese Communists during the Chinese civil war

      the eastern bloc wasn’t overthrown by popular uprising, it was CIA backed military coups, Gorbachev being a stupid cuck, and debt pressure

      one third of the vehicles used in the nazi invasion of france were made by Ford

      americans kept gays, communists, and trans people locked in the concentration camps after ww2

      Italy was going communist until the USA pulled out all the stops to enable fascists to crack down on them

        Yeah, the most propagandized people on Earth really let a whole eldritch monster’s worth of horror slip by undetected and still did nothing with an angry deity’s worth of punishment that directly affected them. I suppose one more flagrant, unfair advantage taken against a record breaking-ly popular, party crossing candidate is just a drop in the bucket.

    Dear, Mr. Representative Adam Smith,

    You may want to avoid flying on small private aircraft for the foreseeable future.

    The lengths the establishment will go to block universal health care. I don’t think Medicare For All would have passed even if Bernie won, but it would have forced every Dem in Congress to go on the record and have to explain to their constituents why they voted against it.
