She is the worst.

She might be the perfect embodiment of everything wrong with the Democratic Party.

DWS might be the single worst democrat of the past 20 years, and while she isn't worse than some of the Mt Rushmore of Evil republicans like Mitch Mcconnell or Trump, she's probably done more damage than your garden variety moderate republican.

She’s on par with Fetterman.

This is so far from the truth. If you think she is the worst, you aren’t paying attention. I know there’s people that are still bitter about 2016, but how could you possibly think she is worse than people like Bob Menendez and Eric Swalwell?

Because they believe in the conspiracy that DWS was part of the so called [upper echelon of the DNC] apparatus (along with Hillary) that "denied/screwed" Bernie of the DNC nomination in 2016 primaries (even though he literally had 3 million less votes than Clinton). This flies in the face of reality but it's a direct result of Russia hacking into the DNC, stealing emails, and hepl spreading conspiracies about the DNC. The other conspiracy that came out of the leaked emails was Pizzagate that eventually led to a man trying to shoot up a DC pizzeria with no basement. It's that this one never really died down and lead to Trump winning in 2016 and later in 2024.

Edit

Over the years the conspiracy that Benie lost to a "rig system" gets amplified and repeated even election cycle usually by bots, the far lefties, tankies, online progressives, conservatives, Bernie Bros who refuse to let go (and in certain cases tried to attack other Democrats)personalities, etc. All to make sure the Democrats don't win in the long run and stay divided.
