i'm so incredibly frustrated at how all the establishment, all the people near him, and political pundits who have interacted with him just... lied to people for three and a half years so that they could effectively keep pushing the "old ways". everyone was saying he had looked old as hell for years and that we needed someone else and they just lied and tried to make us look like trump supporters. now they've strong-armed their candidate by fukkin lying, they tried to lie again about his performance on stage in front of everyone.
now the rats are slowly starting to jump ship when we all saw this coming in 2022.
shyt on dean Phillips if you want BUT at least he was the only one to step up.
Biden had started declining in 2020, but the DNC freaked out when Bernie won Iowa and NH and the whole party formed like Voltron behind Biden to get Bernie out of the paint. Now here we are with a senile old man who struggles to string together sentences.
The disdain that liberals have for Bernie and progressives cost us the election in 2016 and may very well cost us the election in 2024.
