    Most people would never vote for Sanders. He lost the primary and his supporters never shut up about how it was “rigged and stollen” from their God-Emperor.

    But nope they ran with her they wanted to lose.

    The “GIVE US BERNIE OR WE’LL GIVE YOU TRUMP” people helped Trump win, not Clinton voters.

    Online pissbabies never realize they’re a minority even within their own party.

        WTAF. Have you talked to them much? I’d love to try to understand that rationale.

          Probably a desire for someone who is not part of the political machine.

            Yeah, but does policy matter at all to them? I mean…wow.

              No it doesn’t. Im not the OP you were talking to but I can think of at least 3 former friends of mine who went from Bernie to Trump because “at least he’s not one of those politicians”.

          Because they are sick of the establishment. They want a populist.

      It was rigged and cheated and besides SHE COULDN’T BEAT TRUMP. SANDERS COULD HAVE.

        Sanders couldn’t even win the primary. Look at how poorly he did in 2020, too.

          The 2020 primary that was stopped early? The one where everyone except Sanders and Biden dropped out because they were promised other positions if they endorsed Biden? That’s before we even get to 2016, where the DNC blatantly rigged things.

          Primaries almost never produce the best candidate for a general election. Certainly not in recent memory.

      Downvoted because of where we are, but you’re not wrong. As a progressive that supported Bernie in the primary, I wish they’d just shut the fuck up already. I wonder how many of them didn’t even show up to their state’s Democratic primary. Then they all whine when he gets less votes and loses. Grow the fuck up.

      Reminds me of Ron Paul. Probably the same people.
