Like Hillary’s campaign early on wanted Trump to be the GOP primary winner
And did they do anything to make that happen? Right, they didn’t.
Yes, in 2020 some of the lunatics were boosted but this is a relatively new phenomenon. And not to mention, is pretty damned strategic and as someone who understands how damaging republicans would be, I’m kind of okay with it.
Bernie was the nail in the coffin, the delegates aren’t interested, unless you can replace the delegates
If you aren’t constrained by reality, sure, this is a valid point!
Except Bernie lost the primary vote 43% or so to 55%… Let me ask, this was important to you, did you vote in the democratic primaries? Did you canvas for Bernie? Bring friends to vote? If so, awesome. If not, you, like most folks under 40 once again lost to the people who actually show up and vote. Almost like the younger, more progressive wing keeps buying into stupid ideas like both parties are the same and thus voting is pointless…
I have more hope in the labor movement
(You might be shocked to learn that the labour movement has had most of their victories by gasp getting candidates elected, becoming a force to be reckoned with. Unions were the backbone of the progressive coalition for a long time and had all sorts of victories with, yup, electoral politics. Weird how that works huh?)
