I didn’t think Bernie was going to win that election, but there was that moment when the establishment Dems were on the bottom of the polls, and Bernie was ahead. It was the last time I felt any kind of hope for a process to go our way.
Yup. He was my first election. I didn’t vote for him for a second term. He blew it the second nobody got in trouble for the bank collapse and letting the bush admin off the hook.
Bernie would have beaten the absolute dogshit out of Trump, imo. That little stunt the Democrats pulled in all dropping out and giving their delegates to Biden and declaring him the de facto winner after [checks notes] he won one of four primaries, on top of all of the shit in 2016, has made me completely cynical towards them. I’ve got the fastest eye roll in the West for anybody who insists that the democratic primary reflects the will of the voters.

Don’t you just love it that the “hope” dude (Obama) was the one to take away our hopes?*
*Obama is widely considered to have orchestrated everyone except Biden and Warren dropping out on the same day, flipping the table for Biden.
