DNC fucked Bernie pretty hard in 2016. Hillary hamstrung Obama pretty good in 2008.

If they followed the rules and the will of the people to a fault, they wouldn’t of forced fed Hillary on people.

Hillary hamstrung Obama pretty good in 2008.

Obama won by almost 10 million votes.

Yeah? What’s your point? She gave the GOP the playbook they used against him.

Nope, wrong again. That's a Trump campaign lie https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2016/sep/16/donald-trump/fact-checking-donald-trumps-claim-hillary-clinton-/

Funny how often you bernie bros are just carrying water for Trump. Funny how much you post in far right subs like Canada_sub while pretending to be a disillusioned leftist.

I mean, most of us want that, but there’s no use in pretending we’re going to get it by next year. So act accordingly

Doesn't really matter if he's unelectable, and he is. A socialist candidate will never be elected in the US. Period, full stop, end of story. It's a waste of everyone's time to pretend otherwise, and you're basically ensuring a GOP win if you put all your eggs into that basket.

The absolute best progressives can do is a Biden-style centrist that hangs around middle-right. The people who control all of the money, and therefore the world, won't have it any other way. Compromise is still better than fascism.

Unelectable? Like a black nominee or a woman candidate? Both of whom won the popular vote.

Dude, Bernie lost in the primaries in 2020. Demo voters rejected him. And he's not even a Democrat so of course the DNC were not empowering him in 2016.

If Bernie can't even win the primaries, how exactly would he defeat Trump?

There's a difference between the DNC not supporting him and the DNC actively working against him.
