    Post-election polls say Bernie would’ve won if he was the candidate against Trump in 2016. America would definitely vote for a progressive. I mean, hell, Obama ran as a progressive and destroyed the Republican candidate.

      If the DNC wants to win, they know how. They’ve won before by talking about social polices, rebuilding American infrastructure, talking about removing debt from the citizens, improving healthcare, abortion rights…

      They copied the Republican playbook from 2016 for 2024, while saying The economy is doing good, don’t complain! like Trump is doing now with his Tariff bullshit. It’s actually your fault you can’t pay rent and eat food at the same time, pleb!

      Remember when we were going to get monthly $1000 checks to help with COVID? Cancel student debt for all Americans? Codify Roe v. Wade? Arrest Trump?

      But we’re the bad guys for having the memory of Democrat voters instead of Republican shitheads.

        To be honest I don’t think they needed to do all that to beat Trump. They just needed to run another man. Hilary, Biden, and Harris went up against Trump and one of them won. What’s the difference?

          Hillary won the popular vote. More people voted for her then Trump. She lost the electoral college vote, due to it being a system made by slavers to keep slave states happy.
