it's just that typical lib kneejerk reaction of, listen we're in charge and we have to stay in charge so everyone else is just going to have to hunker down for another 30 years while we get our poo poo worked out.

in reality what's going to happen is either things are gonna get so bad the non-voters will finally get involved or corporate oligarchism will be able to subsume the public sector to the extent that democracy is effectively snuffed out in favor of neo-feudalism

this forum and basically everyone here went real hard in for sanders and it's only now getting to enough emotional distance that i think we can really come to terms with how crushing it was to go from nevada and to now

it's become clear to me, both by the way bernie played things out amicably with the other dems during the primary and his actions afterward, that bernie wouldn't have been the class struggle oriented social democrat we used to think he was, back before super tuesday.

i think his presidency would've ended up pretty disappointing to his leftist supporters had he been able to win

remember when Warren freaks’ response to being told it was statistically impossible for her to win was to screech “SHE CAN WIN IF YOU VOTE FOR HER” at everyone

it ruled. especially because the warren fans identify strongly with being wonky, intelligent political understanders and explainers. warren was really good at making it her marketing brand, but that's all it was: pure aesthetic. warren supporters would say, for example, that warren unlike bernie had a plan for the wealth tax whereas bernie was just a shouty man. the truth is both bernie and warren hired this economist gabriel zuccman to design them wealth plans, and bernie's was more progressive by design. this is how virtually all policy gets made: the politician has staffers and academics and thinktank people draw up proposals. warren stans were like convinced that warren is uniquely capable of doing this, or that she herself was writing her policy proposals, etc. warren supporters are dumb as poo poo

Let's talk about the positive things that the democrat party does.

I'll start: They are very good at being controlled opposition.

Since this thread is about posting good things, it should be assumed that anything posted in this thread is mean to be good actually and if someone appears mad they are actually just being ironic.

they run a really good patronage network that takes prep school dipshits from college internships to D.C. sinecures in only an election cycle or two.

They have a 2590785-point plan to propose a roadmap to a legislative action plan which would gradually roll out affordable access to not having to deliberately avoid medical treatment for heatstroke in Minnesota in April

It's pretty fun. Over the primaries a few of my friends were of the type who thought Warren and Bernie were exactly the same, except Liz had plans. And now anytime I bring up some of her awful record or policies they're always shocked to learn about them.

they are more left than x or boomers on both economics and social issues. We are still generations out from their being a solid left on both social and economical voting block to change things.

my point is that the poster i quoted seemed to think that gen z is fundamentally different in perspective from millennials in that millennials are anticapitalist and leftist and gen z isn't, which is just a super broad generalization that is also incorrect.

people were nervous about attending primaries and many states had no mail-in infrastructure so it was always gonna come down to whoever had the most money

its worth remembering that bernie had the most money by far while up until south carolina biden was panhandling for donations which he almost immediately ended up blowing on jenis ice cream parties for the staff

any analysis of what bernie could have done better is missing the more substantial revelation that over the course of three days biden went from a joke candidate no one was taking seriously to an unstoppable dynamo about which any negative comments were tantamount to trump loving

despite primaries now effectively being a neverending process starting a year in advance this was possibly the least democratic primary of my lifetime if not in this countrys entire history if thats not enough to turn you off of electoralism exactly what would it take

For real, he did almost no campaigning, especially compared to bernie. He was a joke in the debates. He had no outreach and in fact openly taunted his potential voting base. He had no flashy policies or bold proposals. His poll numbers were pathetic. Every drat thing we've been told is so important in electioneering didn't mean jack poo poo.
