    Which would be great if “fight” meant “run for office and vote”. But really it means “shake fists angrily and complain online”.

    Go ahead folks, downvote me. But you know it’s true and the date supports it.

        Oh yes, they did a great job “fighting” by showing up at rallies and make noise. Lot’s of fist shaking going on. But as soon as it came time to show up to vote a fuckload didn’t.

          But they WOULD have shown up to vote for Bernie. And all those blue no matter who Clinton voters also would have shown up. And we’d have had Bernie instead of Trump. Instead, Clinton spit in their faces, gaslit them, chased the right (who most of these people consider to truly be the enemy )and then still had the audacity to demand their vote.

          But don’t diminish the real fighting they actually did. They participated in one of the largest and most robust field programs US politics has seen since the civil rights movement. They knocked on millions of doors and spoke to millions of people. Often times not just pushing Bernie, but also pushing for downballot Dems as well. It’s a level of engagement effort most campaigns never even attempt

            Except they didn’t. End of story.

                No, the story ends with King Donald Trump.

                Oh look, a non-sequitur. How unique and edgy.

                  The point is noone cares why the dems went towards the corporate right. Noone cares if Bernie got kneecapped or had no chance to begin with.

                  We can argue back and forth as long as we go crazy whether a more progressive administration would have been realistic.

                  The cold hard truth is a US dictatorship now is. It’s not edgy, it’s sad is what it is. Hillary got us Trump, and Biden will get us Trump.

                    LOL. I can’t tell if it’s that your are completely ignorant or just exaggerating because you think somehow that will make your point “stronger”.

                    It doesn’t. You just sound ridiculous.
