The Pennsylvania Democrat recalled his time serving as a Hillary Clinton surrogate in 2016, even after he supported Bernie Sanders in the primary.

    The time for that vote is in the primaries. THAT’S when you make your stand, have your protest, and try to move the party left. Otherwise you are ignoring someone that you agree with 50% of the time and helping someone you agree with 0% of the time.

      Who’s our primary choice against Biden? Remember when the DnC fucked Bernie?

      The choice between a soft R vs a hard R is hardly a choice.

        The DNC didn’t “fuck over” Bernie. He lost. I voted for him in the primary, and would have loved to see him win the nomination. But he didn’t, so I voted for the next best thing (and, you know, the non-fascist).

            My understanding was that people are referring to his primary loss against Hillary when they blame the DNC for his loss. But, to be clear, you’re talking about his primary loss to Biden?

            These responses were referring to the 2020 election. Wasserman Schultz hasn’t been DNC chair since 2016.

            Biden “openly championed right wing ideas”? When, in the fucking 90s? And absolutely nothing happened in the years since.

            Completely ignore that he’s the most progressive president we’ve had since FDR. Or LBJ at the very least.

            Would you be considered good at math? Im asking because the “math” that people have used to prove Sanders “won” is really flawed.

            Biden polled better vs Trump and many stepped aside rather than risk a dictatorship in the USA.

            As an aside your notion of “right wing” is either historically inaccurate or you are being inappropriately eurocentric in your views.

      Move the party left? Unless you have the ability to own our own politicians, there is no ‘move the party left’
