    Remember when he was losing the primaries so bad it was almost sad, then the leading democrats inexplicably started stepping down and endorsing him rather than anyone else as soon as they started losing against Bernie? One by one, they gave us Biden instead of who people were actually voting for.

    I really wish we had ranked voting. We still might not have ended up with Bernie, but we definitely would have ended up with someone more people would have been happy to rally behind.

      Oh I remember. I also remember being called a sore loser for pointing out how they rallied around the milquetoast racist.

      Its funny that people say democracy is dead in America now, when I can recall in my life SuperPACs, fuckery of primaries, gerrymandering, the two parties suing to get third parties off in state and local elections, and more things that any sane democracy would never have.
