    The ultimate irony that we have proof that the primary was rigged, yet there was a deluge of mouth breathers calling Bernie’s supporter delusional and salty. 8 years later and the same people were calling everything rigged without evidences because they are delusional and salty

      And all indications are that they intend to rig the next primary against RFK Jr. Not that we should in any way support that racist, ultra-zionist genocide apologist (seriously, for anyone who still thinks that he’s a good alternative to the establishment because he’s said some decent anti-war things in relation to Ukraine, one look at how he talks about Palestinians should make you want to puke), and frankly at this point you gotta wonder if he’s really that stupid to think that he could get a fair process despite it being common knowledge what was done to Bernie, or whether it’s all some elaborate psyop to sheepdog even more people into the Democratic Party.

      The reality that every American leftist needs to get through their heads is that no amount of “working from within the Democratic Party” is ever going to change anything, you will just end up empowering some of the worst imperialist pigs in existence. Democrats are just as much a dead end for anything remotely leftist as the Republicans are, and if anyone still thinks that voting for either of them is “harm reduction” they need a serious fucking wake up call.

        I’ve taken to calling it (voting for the Other Guy) harm redirection. That is perhaps still too charitable a take.
