Salon article, not and alt right site. Bernie had a real shot in fact would have won.

[Jhhnn]

Clinton was more than decent. The GOP has perfected the art of the slime. You'd think people would have learned by now, but here we are.

Never fear- Hayabusa is here to spread it around. Poor Bernie! So cheated! Stupid Democrats didn't recognize that their Savior! was at hand!

If you had the french presidential election system, do you think it would have been bernie vs trump?

 

[brandonbull]

I don't need to act anything out. You know Democracy is broken. You know the wealthy have too much control. You know the wealth gap is unsustainable. Even the deplorables know things are out of whack. Everyone can feel it. But what has America done? Wrestled control away from the only people trying to stop it and given the reins back to the party responsible for getting us where we are today. So now instead of continuing on the healing path we had just got back on, America has chartered a course straight to full blown oligarchy. So fuck it. This next great depression won't see meek motherfuckers in bread lines. This time we will be dining on the corpses of royalty. Of course, not before suffering billions of casualties at the hands of the ruling class. The silver lining will be that nobody will remember who the fuck Yeezy is. Maybe we will have the good sense to completely outlaw organized religion while we're at it. Feel free to pray or worship whoever you want, but the second you try to spread the good news you get slapped with a crushing fine.

The Democrats have not been "The Average American" party in decades. The rich elites use the Democrats as proxies to help the next fashionable fringe group in a twisted game of "I sleep good at night because I helped some poor group of victims". The "poor victim group" is the metaphorical camera, the Democrats are the metaphorical social media site and the rich elites are taking selfies and "posting" them every where. You mindless Democrat followers can't wait to login in and be awe struck by the next great selfie and anyone not "liking" it is a racist, fascist, idiot whatever-phobe and is the lowest form of life.

Clinton was a BAAAD candidate in many ways and Trump was even worse, the WORST candidate the US has ever seen. So bad he only "won" with the help of Russian hackers and a hideous silly EC system, despite fewer votes. (MOST of America cannot stand the orange dude <- a fact that is proven by numbers alone). Would Bernie have won? OF COURSE.

What numbers? You mean the numbers where a MAJORITY of the voters did not vote for Clinton?

Terribly sorry that we Democrats stand up to bullies and that this is a great source of butthurt for you.

I don't think it's the act... so much as the way it is socially presented. Identity politics is quite abrasive.
I think he was trying to share his experience of that. You could learn something from it.

I'd love to see an example of an abrasive presentation.

No, he means the even bigger number of Americans who didn't vote for trump.

You say this knowing that your party just elected the richest president in history and who has an administration with the most millionaires and billionaires in it? Lol

I recommend Anusol-HC for the massive cornholing I gave you that I hadn't realize I'd done.

 

[Azuma Hazuki]

Brandon has got one thing right, although completely by accident and completely backwards: Democrats are not friends of the poor. They are the lesser enemy, to be sure, but they are not our friends.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Certainly true, but then conservatives were/are literally telling democrats to run sanders over clinton, which should reveal something.

Yea but we were pushing the repubs to run drumpf.

Are you poor?

 

[Azuma Hazuki]

Like you would not fucking believe. And more so because easily 35% of my after-tax income, which will be barely above the federal poverty level this year, goes toward a friend who is a victim of human trafficking from ages 12-16. That's sex slavery. Underage forced prostitution. She is now 50 and very ill and no one but me is helping her.

Wut? Trump absolutely thrashed his primary opponents. He beat Ted by 20 points & had nearly twice as many votes. Dems had nothing to do with that.

well, what I meant was. most dems wanted drumpf to win as they saw that as a lock for hillary.

 

[ch33zw1z]

Pretty much, apparently there's about 60 million voters in red states who really hate themselves.

But they hate liberals more so it's all ok.

 

[Jhhnn]

I certainly didn't. It was clear early on that Trump was a monster & a wildcard, a master manipulator of the human psyche and an astounding charlatan. She'd likely have thrashed anybody else that Repubs could have run.

It's like this-

You had a better insight than I. The election of drumpf was pretty fucking eye opening to more than 1/2 the country. Fuck, it's still hard to fathom that twatwaffle as president.
president..

You must be younger than me because the eye opening for me was when this country voted for Bush a second time.

Nah, I'm 52, and was really disappointed when we elected dubya the first time, let alone the 2nd. but drumpf is a different animal completely. Hell, I was bummed when ronnie was elected to a 2nd term.

I agree.

Bernie can still win! Will you match me?
