Hot Autopsy Take:

The moment we accepted the comedy skit of Hillary turning into Bernie, America subconsciously knew we're getting milquetoast version of what should be, in a package mired in problems.

a lot of the bernie supporters were openly being accelerationist assholes after he lost, hence why they were known for wanting to tear everything down because they didn't get 100% of what they wanted immediately
To be fair hillary supporters were really condescending at that point too.

Also this measure was supported by OurRev and passed

Push for RCV locally as well, remove the spoiler effect and fear from voting.
If we had it in the primaries Bernie would've gotten the nomination and if we had it in the general, Hillary kinda might've maybe won.*

It also can make it so that even if 2 candidates who appeal to similar issues but differently in method can still have friendly campaigns as the result of not needing to prevent the other from stealing votes(spoiling), which makes the share demographics more likely to like both of them and vote for both of them, in their own preferred order of course.

Agreed, but I would point to the media. Bernie Sanders proposed a new system that would raise up all different groups (rising tide raises all buoys), and the media snubbed him and made it seem like he wasn't doing enough for the different ethnic minority groups when that was completely preposterous. And this isn't a series of posts serving as a sloppy blowjob for Bernie, but his movement had a lot of aspects that we need to take seriously.

The media perpetuates divisions that lead us to where we are now.
The real thing that got my goat is no one understood the translation.

He said it was important to help the communities that have the longest generational poverty status, which are disproportionally minority. Republicans can't argue against helping poor people who have lovely run down towns because they're so poor, even if they are a black community or some other minority.


I tried to explain that months ago during all the hallabahlub and got yelled at that white people deserve nothing and it should specifically target minority/black communities.

But simply being a fresh-faced (or orange misshapen blob) candidate opens you up to attacks based on naivety and ignorance. Not being aware of how the sausage is made really limits your effectiveness, and gates you from doing the stuff you promised/want to do. There's a reason congress is like 95% lawyers.

The US Should update it's usability with laymans term translations of legalese.

I also believe they should go a step further and translate it into logical scripting too.

I don't know about this Bernie 2020 talk. I love Bernie and all, but he's going to be so old. He was already old in 2016. Turns out, in 2020, he may be even older.
I don't expect him to run, but it'd be nice.

I'm more Bernie ~now~ for Bernie stuff rather than focusing on 4 years. The election in 2 years is important too.

And I'm sure that if we had months of Trump hitting him for being a socialist commie and dog whistle America First/anti-"Globalist" bullshit, coupled with Bernie's minority turnout being worse than Hillary's that things would've been so much different!
If that didn't stop most primary voters, it would make even LESS of an issue nationally.

Granted it would one of the ONLY issues Trump would be able to hit too.

Here's the only thing I can say about the only argument Trump has for scaring the populous: Communism/Socialism.


They already keep saying our sitting president is a socialist and everything didn't blow up.


Socialism isn't a danger anymore. The only thing close to Socialism/Communism scare now is Russia. Which thankfully they had some hijinks before the primaries ended that potentially linked them and Trump.

I think there's truth to that, but let's cleave to the question at hand, ie: whether you got called sexist for bringing up issues with the Clinton campaign, or for bringing up those issues in a way that read as sexist. Because I think that's a possibility you're glossing over.
It's more likely they pre-judged any dissent as the enemy, and thus sexist or racist.

I think anger can be a good motivator sometimes, in the "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore" sense. Social Security's genesis was one man being enraged at seeing two old women pick through garbage cans near his house. He just couldn't stand to live in a country where such a thing could happen. I do think the DNC needs to tap into that sense of anger felt by disaffected working class people of all stripes and channel it.
