And if all the Bernie supporters had actually registered and voted in the primary they could have changed that, but they didn’t. Bernie supporters not voting for Bernie in the primary are the main cause of Bernie losing.
What fuckin fair? It may be bullshit but it’s a private party, literally, and they didn’t need to let Bernie run at all, but they did. Quit moving the goalposts. The facts remain no matter what the DNC did or didn’t do Bernie lost the primary, overwhelmingly, because nobody voted for him.
If you want me to come up with a reason why the person who receives millions more votes should become the representative then clearly you oppose democracy and idgaf about your opinion on anything.
Popular vote: HRC: 16,917,853 Bernie: 13,210,550
Percentage: 55.2%, 43.1%
We’ve been discussing how Bernie lost the popular vote this entire time. It was a brutal defeat where he was 2 digit percent margin. Even worse, in 2020 he lost to Joseph Biden when Biden literally doubled his vote.
Bro it’s fucking exhausting how many progressive spaces refuse to admit that Bernie didn’t fucking get the votes to be the nominee. By like, a landslide.
I do think that in hindsight Clinton should have made him her VP choice though.
Indeed. Considering her performance in the primary, I was certain she was going to win the general. I was so sure, in fact, that I did a little oopsie and forget to vote. Happens to us all, right?
Sure, but he was already losing by an overwhelming majority before anyone voted. Hillary had something like 40 delegates already.

So you’re saying that if Bernie started with 40 more delegates that MILLIONS more people would have voted for him instead? Fat chance, pal.
If it doesn’t matter, then why not just make it fair?

Being chosen by the people is what is fair.
Isn’t that the popular vote?..

Thanks. Not American so not very knowledgeable but appreciate the clarification.
Hello 7 day old account trying to discourage people from voting in the midterms!
There is a concerted effort to keep everyone in the dark about this, including Americans, so it’s totally understandable.

You’re the one who sat out voting against a guy who was pretty much a known rapist, so that’s your call.
It was an accident. You can’t blame me for an accident.
An accident?
You chose to sit out and didn’t care if Mr. Grab Her by the Pussy got elected.
Sitting out means you didn’t fucking care he got elected.
What a position of privilege you must sit in to not care about such things.
