    The reason we got Trump in the first place is cause of the DNC and corporate Democrats that wanted him to win over Bernie. They just had Rachel Maddow and all the feelings-over-reality shills on the left working overtime to convince their party that it was somehow Bernie supporters fault.

      Not really. The reason we got him is the people who voted for him. I was a bernie supported but I voted hilary. there is plenty of time to fix the democrats or completely eliminate the republicans and we will get a new second party anyway as dems are always pretty ready to fracture. Republicans winning is the only thing keeping dems at statis quo.

      You’re lucky you’re saying this stupid shit here and not in other communities where that type of bullshit propaganda isn’t tolerated.

      But you know that already, don’t you? That’s why there’s so many of you here.

          Seriously, does anyone believe this? Trump is the DNC fault? Ridiculous. It’s certainly not the RNCs fault or republican voters for choosing him. And it’s certainly not the voters fault for voting for him, or people protest voting because they don’t want a woman or whatever. No, it’s not even the electoral colleges fault! It’s the DNC for not pushing Bernie. I can’t believe I voted for the leopards eating faces party and now my face is eaten! Damn you Hillary!

              So instead of addressing anything I wrote you move the goalposts and start hurling insults? Like sure, it would be great if we can go forward and hold the powers that be accountable for shady crap, but how is that relevant to this election? Unless of course your goal is really to sow dissent and try to get trump elected.

              Are you sure I’m the one who ‘lacks intellectual capacity’?

                  The mods have better things to do than police entire threads, we remove reported comments that break the rules, you know, like this one.

                    Naaah, you just remove the comments you disagree with. You’ve been called out for this before. And you banned the person for saying it.

                    Also, the mods have very little to do as they seeming refuse to remove comments that point-blank blatantly break your rules. Even after asking them to do something about it- two of you refused to even respond to the reports annd private messages, and one of you trolled me for a day, side-stepping the issue without ever addressing the complaint. Meanwhile, you’ve removed comments from myself and other that break vague rules of “uncivility.”

                    Yet when the same rules are broken by certain others- you ignore the reports and then threaten to ban people when they message you about it.

                    So let’s not pretend that you’re all hard working unbiased gifts to lemmy.

                    You’re not. And there’s a lot of people that are very aware of this.

          They wanted him to win because he COULD win. Bernie couldn’t. I say this as someone that aggressively supported Bernie.

          The problem is that you don’t understand what’s at stake, so you can rest on your single-issue outrage and think you’re in a place to demand better.

          You’re not in that place. The rest of us know that, but you refuse to listen. So you and others like you will do what you did in 2016- fold your arms and throw a temper tantrum.

          This is how Trump will win.

            Bernie couldn’t win. Tell that to Hillary… cause she sure did lose and is why Trump got into office in the first place. Don’t forget the DNC admitted that they had a “right” to sabotage Bernie, because they had no obligation to be impartial.

              Okay man, I’m not going to argue with you. But not voting is a dumb way to express disapproval.

              End of story.

                  Look kid, do what you want. You’re clearly incapable of seeing history repeating itself here because you haven’t lived through it long enough-

                  So make your mistakes and hope there’s a democracy remaining that will forgive you for it later on down the road.

                  I’m done arguing with you.

                    I don’t know what you think… that I won’t vote for Biden given that is my only choice, or that people can’t talk bad about Biden and the state of the DNC else Trump might win. If you believe the latter, then you should rethink who you’re upset with.

      Trump lost the popular vote every single time, he won the first time because of the electoral college and gerrymandering
