MODERATORS
I didn't like her purchase and manipulation of the Democrat party, and abrogating the democratic process in denying the people their choice of Bernie Sanders.
But hey, let's not quibble about words.
And now we have a convicted felon poised to be dictator.
Such a wide open door to walk through, and our broken incestuous Democrat party couldn't get their shit together enough to run a candidate who can talk.
DON'T BLAME THE VOTERS.
Well, those voters shouldn't have been such fucking short sighted morons then.
Voters? How about the Democratic party? You're telling me there isn't a compelling candidate in the entire fucking United States of America?
There aren't any that corporations can get behind.
The democrats don't care, as long as they don't offend their base. And then doing any sort of legit challenge/change/effort, would offend that base.
The average democratic voter is incredibly complacent and happy with the status quo in this country.
They don't really care too much about their base. It's really their donors and themselves that they care about. The donors and the important people in the democratic party are very rich, so a Trump dictatorship would merely be an inconvenience and embarrassment to them. If it really got bad they'd move to another country and try to gain support as the legitimate government in exile.
Yeah, from my perspective, it failed long before that. The Democrats couldn't achieve their true objective if they had allowed Bernie to be elected, which was to give the illusion of a better option while ensuring that the status quo isn't affected where it relates to power and wealth.
Bernie was blocked for the same reason Biden isn't trying to block Israel from destroying Palestine.
