    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.

    Being chosen by the people is what is fair.

        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.

            There is a concerted effort to keep everyone in the dark about this, including Americans, so it’s totally understandable.

              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?

        You’re the one who sat out voting against a guy who was pretty much a known rapist, so that’s your call.

            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.
