      I seethed for months over this. Months.

      Boomers wonder why the younger generations seem to ‘hate america’.

      Well it’s because of bullshit like this. Repugnicunts have hijacked democracy and its roots are in Nixon and we have been forced to grow up under the lie that we are free and represented by our politicians.

        Democrats did exactly the same to Bernie in 2016. Leaked emails confirm that the DNC actively conspired against Sanders.

        And then Hillary was such a bad candidate that Trump won. Thank the DNC for that one.

          Similar deal here in the UK with Corbyn, except he was already leader of the party. Destroyed by his own kind. Most politicians accept that the only way into office is to gain control of an existing party. I’m glad for Americans that Bernie Sanders still seems to have some mainstream credibility. Jeremy Corbyn was attacked so hard from all vested interests on all fronts that he has almost become a tragic meme, despite how exceptional he was/is as a figurehead.

          The Clintons, sold the DNC to the same masters in '92. It’s been a downward spiral since.

      My parents tried to explain to me why Bush won instead of Gore, and my little kid brain was like “but he won though”
