    Didn’t she win the popular vote?

    This is just shit libs blaming the left instead of taking responsibility for running a shit candidate with so much baggage that she lost while “winning”

    If you want to be mad at anyone, blame the dnc.

      Bernie would have whooped trump in 2016. Shame the dnc decided to change the rules the day of to avoid a split ticket or God forbid, supporting the actually viable candidate.

        Lol, no.

        Bernie is the Ron Paul of the left; he has a small group of very loud supporters online who by constantly shouting at each other on the internet have convinced themselves that he’s actually some sort of populist god. I mean seriously, he couldn’t even win the popular vote in the Democratic Primary in 2016, losing to Hillery by over three million votes, where were all the extra voters to “whoop” Trump supposed to come from?

        Sanders, God love him, was not going to be electable. Had they run him, Trump would have picked up the whole of the big fat moderate lump in the middle of the bell curve.

        Exactly like Boris Johnson did when he ran against Jeremy Corbyn. The capitalists simply won’t allow socialists to win in this environment.

          Sanders, God love him, was not going to be electable.

          Literally every single poll says otherwise. We’ll never know for certain, but there’s much more evidence to support a Sanders victory than a Sanders loss, and claiming that Trump would have picked up enough moderates to win is baseless speculation.

    Your vote matters.

    If 100% of voters voted liberal in the upcoming election, the one after that would have way more left leaning candidates.

    Your vote directly matters.

    Do you think hyping up elections with a free democracy dog (a hotdog on election day) would make voting sexy enough that people would show up to the polls? Like Australia.

      Couple of small corrections about Australian elections:

      • The democracy sausage is not free (at least when I’ve gone to vote)

      • Everyone has to vote or they get fined, it’s not like people go just because of the sausage
