It’s the Bernie-Trump pipeline working in reverse. Because offering real solutions to people’s problems works. Who woulda fucking thunk.
It don’t matter no more, boy.

Our history is them voting one way and people like Mitch McConnell bring us right here while they reelect them.
History shows they are a bunch of mornic idiots and if they happen to do the right thing that’d be a nice surprise but history doesn’t paint them in a good light no matter what you their grandfathers did while raising father that did the opposite…
And you want to kick them when they’re finally joining your side? How fucking stupid are you?
Who’s kicking them? It’s an internet comment stating how shitty they have been and how little trust they deserve.
Let someone else suck their dick cause they may pay Bernie lip service… vs decades of voting data and the harm their very political participation has caused? You’d have to be stupid to start fawning over them now. Let them prove it then I’ll say cool. They’ve actively proved otherwise throughout my lifetime so this article ain’t moving the needle.
Where were your kin at the Battle of Blair Mountain? Why’d you let California vote for Reagan? See how unhelpful these criticisms are.
I’m not criticizing the battle of whatever I’m criticizing every vote after the fact.
Why Cali elected Reagan is nothing when you look at California SINCE THEN.
Tell me about Appalachia or Kentucky since then…
I think the point is that voting will no longer help them.

If you know history, then you would know we’re past the point of no return.

I concede. I agree and hope we’re right.

Nothing lasts forever. And fascism has rarely lasted long historically.
Unfortunately, while voting is bloodless, ousting fascism, after idiots vote it in, takes many lives.
We’ll see. It’s been ousted bloodlessly before but it’s not easy.
I would love to read about any examples you provide!
I’m not an expert but one example is the downfall of Pinochet. I’m sure there are others too.
At least Hitler was smart. Trump is a bumbling idiot.
Hitler was also a bumbling idiot. He just had stimulants
The more people turn away from trump the more effective resistance becomes. We should be encouraging this. Better late than never.
We almost had Bernie in 2016. What would the world look like if that happened?.
I’m a firm believer that the person who most changed the modern world, or at least this country, completely by accident, is Elián González. Remember him? That whole thing turned off a ton of Democratic voters in Florida. Right before the 2000 election… You know, the hanging chads one that took forever to settle?
Imagine Al Gore winning in 2000. Imagine 9/11 and the aftermath (including the Iraq war) happening under his leadership… Or not. Maybe Gore would have taken action ahead of intelligence warning that planes would be used as missiles and prevented the whole thing.
It does make me wonder if that momentum would have continued into 2008 or if the pendulum would have swung to a Republican, but I would be so damn curious to see what things would have been like if his mother made it to Florida with him.
Al Gore DID WIN! It was proven after the fact, when the Supreme Court gave it to Bush. First time Republicans cheated and won
You can shove that CNN article up your ass. I was there after the fact. Was 20 years old first presidential election. Gore won it was proven in court. CNN are fucking nazi supporters.
You can shove that CNN article up your ass
Coming in strong there
I was there after the fact.
There as in boots on the ground on the campaign/legal team/whatever or there as in old enough to pay attention to the news?
Was 20 years old first presidential election.
Ah, I’ll assume the latter to my question above. How is that any better than someone who says they were 30 and believe the opposite? I’m just not sure why your age should matter here
Gore won it was proven in court
Which court? Was that ruling overturned on appeal?
I would go out on a limb and say that due to continuity of Government, Gore’s administration would have likely been able to successfully prevent 9/11 from happening.
Though I think he would still likely end up a one-term President for whatever reason (akin to Bush Sr.) and we’d likely have gotten John McCain as president for a term before the GFC.
Barbara Boxer giving the middle finger to Bernie supporters while exiting the rigged 2016 Nevada convention:

The Boxer video was difficult to find, it seems to have been pretty thoroughly scrubbed from the internet.
But we remember, don’t we kids?
Lemmy would be full of comments about Bernie slow walking genocide and how he’s not left enough for them to participate.
Well yes, much of Lemmy is deliberately anti-American by default.
Tbh, not much fudamental changes. Bernie would not have 50 progressive senators and 218 progressive representatives. Best he could do was a bunch of executive orders that will definitely get struck down by the courts, they would never let him nominate anyone that’s not democratic party-approved.
I mean unless he uses the momentum to win 50 progressive senators and 218 progressive representatives in the midterms, which is unlikely given historical trends during midterms.
But hey, at least we’d have a functional court without the 3 maga appointees (well… sort of)
Fun fact, a lot of republicans would have voted for Bernie in 2016, and the world would never know what a Trump presidency looks like. If only the DNC wasnt corrupt as fuck.
As they should have been, all along.
Are there no young people in the US? Must we keep chasing after geriatric old men?
Too fucking little, too fucking late.
Unless these assholes are ride or die Bernie fans til death, I’d prefer they just drop dead. Can’t just hold out hope they won’t start sucking the next dictators cock once (IF) we can right this countries course after we execute Temu Hitler and all his collaborators.
