    The DNC admitted that they threw it to Hillary the first time. And the second time they had to beg Biden out of retirement to find an alternative to Bernie. It’s infuriating, Bernie has never been given a real chance.

      He was given a chance in 2020 and lost by a pretty large margin. I voted for him twice. The reality is progressives are not popular, even within the Democratic party. If we want that to change, we need to first convince people from the bottom up instead of expecting some kind of top down change.

      They favored Clinton, but they didn’t falsify votes or anything like that, democrats still voted for her (and Biden) in masses.
