Alright this is gettin a bit much, Bernie endorsed all of this shit. The change he's talking about was on the ballot and he was pushing the conservative coddling moderate.

I want Bernie for president and I'm not even American.

We tried. And almost got him. But then the DNC Services Corp rigged the game against us to stop him.

The last great presidential candidate. The only once I’ve ever actually liked.

Hopefully more senators like AOC will come around that were motivated by Bernie and can take the party over.

The right are perpetually angry. They are angry when they win and angry when they lose. It's a hallmark of their cult. There's no pleasing these people because they don't know what they're angry about, they just prefer to be angry.

Every fascist needs an enemy. The threat is required to rally around their flag and blame someone else for their failures. When there's no obvious threat in sight, it has to be produced - else there's no other way to maintain popularity among subordinates while also sanctioning them.

For once I disagree with Bernie.

You can blame the DNC for being useless and out of touch but they always have been, nothing changed there. You can blame them for their shitty messaging and not listening to the concerns of working people ... ditto.

What changed in this election is that millions of people, who know Trump is a a liar, a criminal, a rapist, a narcissist ... I could go on and on. Well, they decided to vote for him because none of those negative traits were sufficiently off-putting.

This was a test of the collective character and morality of the nation and the United States failed that test miserably. Put it down to a poor standard of public education, Russian/Iranian/Chinese propaganda, accelerationism, racism, misogyny, whatever mix of reasons you're comfortable with. Could the DNC have done better? Absolutely. Would the DNC doing better have won the election for Harris? Probably not, given the margin of victory.

buried deep in your comment is a reasonable criticism of his actions, but it's difficult to want to engage with that because of how smug and condescending your comment is.

What way have you found in the last 4 years to stop trump and what sucess did you have?

Stop giving bombs for genocide and stop telling people that the economy is already great so they should not ask for more and instead give popular policy positions that help people more than a week before the election/after early voting.
