That's not what we were talking about you asked why it would be advantageous for Biden to lose for Progressives. We were talking about the future not the past. Stay on topic please.yea, but biden won. your candidate lost
if bernie won the primary i would vote for him. he didnt
When Sanders went to the mat in support of the bailout that violated multiple supposed core tenets of the philosophy of his "revolution", these loser cult members were nowhere to be found. In fact, they were too busy jacking off to that dumbass little stunt speech he gave. There's always a reason why whenever Bernie does something bad it's not his fault yet whenever others do something bad it's because they're hopelessly corrupted. The analysis of power these people display is warped because their prime motive is to hold Bernie Sanders in high regard and everything follows. So no, I'm not buying that they're all about the policies and ideologies more than the individual. They're suffering from the same disease of aesthetic personality worship that Obama stans suffer from.
The problem here is that a foundational psychological tenet of Bernie's political brand is "he is the only honest, principled man in Washington, everyone else is compromised except for him, etc etc". It's what allowed for the de-nuancing necessary to make his support base as rabid as they were and Bernie-or-Bust possible. But necessarily that brand had to ignore a ton of his actual, real history of either not doing shyt when it mattered or towing the "big D" democratic company line many times over. If Bernie was just the best of many options, then that means you just move over to the next best option in the fight, but no, we had to constantly hear from his stans this myth about how he was some uniquely principled hero who was categorically different from every other politician in Washington so it's Bernie or no one. It's a joke.
Oh so it isn't about policy. You are just going with the way beyond obvious. Literally, he is a different person than Hillary.
That's inspiring.
Bruh I thought the same thing in 2016, and 2020 has not turned out that way. I have doubts about the inevitability of the revolution by pursuing this strategy.
I really just think 99.9% of voters don't care about Twitter spats between candidate employees. If it was Bernie himself maybe you would have a point. Do you hold against Bernie what Brianna Joy does online?
I didn't say that. @cac mamba asked why it would be advantageous to Progressives for Biden to lose. And I said why and I also said I will be voting for Biden and I hope he wins. I'm not big on making predictions. I honestly don't know who will win but I am hoping it is Biden.
Voting for Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Primary is not cultish (in fact it's good, principled civic action), but going from voting from Bernie Sanders in the primary to refusing to vote for the best option in the general when Bernie loses because they don't live up to some imaginary line Bernie himself doesn't even pass when looked at through an honest lens, and refusing to critique him when he does fukked up shyt is cultish behavior. I could at least understand not wanting to damage him when he was in the heat of a competitive primary against an objectively worse opponent, but now that he's lost the primary and is running a zombie campaign, there's no reason to not toss his body aside when warranted. Not doing so is pathetic loser shyt.
Do you think the stimulus bill once enacted and with tangible results to point to will quell or assist a revolution coupled with a Trump win or it will still be Centrists time to take power?Bruh I thought the same thing in 2016, and 2020 has not turned out that way. I have doubts about the inevitability of the revolution by pursuing this strategy.
I've met her, she's cool. She is smart. And she largely knows what she's talking about
But she's a campaign amateur. I like that Bernie gave a bunch of young people big roles in his campaign but man, you need seasoned ruthless MFs if you want to win. Oh and people who could have made an imprint with older black people.
National campaign spokeswoman should have been on black radio and TV in the south non-stop
It absolutely does help my case, because I was doing similar shyt in 2016. I'm a former felon telling you a life of crime ain't worth it.
A Centrist type Dem will have lost to a game show host twice in a row. A new strategy would have to emerge for 2024.
Well, I think you are in the minority on that. 9/10 people walking down the street don't even know who she is. But it is good to know you are swayed by surrogates and their behavior online. I will keep that in mind.
Dude, there are barely any Trump supporters on here. Maybe you need to do your work on a more MAGA related board. It's not effective here. lol
