Isn’t the point of the primaries to find the candidate most people would want to vote for?
The primary should always be between two candidates or using ranked choice voting. If there are ten candidates in the primary and the winner has 10.1% of the vote you cannot tell whether they are the most popular one.
Sanders lost because he was less popular than Biden. Obama calling all other spoiler candidates to drop out ensured the candidate who most people prefer won. After all, if the candidates who dropped out had policies more similar to Sanders, they would have supported him instead of Biden.
Then why be upset Sanders lost the primary? If he didn’t have a chance in the first place there is no way Biden (or anyone really) could have “stolen” his victory.
lol buddy I remember vividly what happened in that shit show of a primary. You’d have to be absolutely addled with American liberal propaganda to not see that primary for what it was.

Sanders won the first 3 primaries in a row and then the establishment freaked out and all fell in line behind Biden.
So Biden won. We all agree!
Biden won, humanity lost.
It’s what Americans wanted…
Okay but before the primaries ended Biden had literally double the votes of Bernie, it wasn’t exactly a close race.

Okay but he didn’t win by Delegates alone he HAD DOUBLE THE VOTES. Real votes, from millions of individual people.
And then he did jack shit but support fascism for 4 years.
So?

LMAO no. It’s for “party” insiders to nominate whatever ghoul is at the top of their control pyramid.
Exactly. These ghouls are loyal to their own pyramid, not humanity.

Yeah, Sanders lost in 2020 just like he did in 2016
I remember that really pissing Trump off because he was pushing hard to run against him.
I don’t think Trump was pushing for Sanders because Trump thought it’d be a harder fight to win.
You remember it pissing him off? Because I remember him thanking the democrats for ratfucking sanders and handing him the presidency.
I remember him saying that after Sanders lost (both times) so he could make the gullible think the system was rigged.
It is fucking rigged and they rigged it for Biden, we all remember it vividly, nice try though.

We.re seeing it all over again with mamdani
How?
Mandani won the primary now he’s getting support from democrats.
Thats what you call support, racism and Islamophobia?
I think in 2016 the right figured out their propaganda works just as well on ‘leftists’.
Pointing to the results of ratfuckery isn’t a great way to prove that ratfuckery didn’t occur. Why do people try to make this argument so often
Do you think Trump would be pushing for a candidate that would make his race harder?
I didn’t think he’s smart enough, nor remotely trustworthy, for his opinion to matter here.
Clinton did it with Trump so… yes? Fascists are notoriously fucking stupid.
Clinton had too much faith in the average voter.
That is the most blatant hypocrisy I’ve seen in ages.
That shouldn’t have even been a race, Trump should have been laughed out and Clinton would have done some good in her term.
Hillary wasn’t even popular, she never would have beat Trump just like Kamala. The people dont want neoliberals.
So you agree ratfuckery happened?
