Glad they're taking off the gloves a little, but it's always been a non-option to just make our lives significantly and irrevocably better like M4A or the PRO act and although they're good at trying and failing, they never talk about the consequences as dire as they actually are with few exceptions.

I believe Bernie Sanders on this one, you've got no credility compared to him. And yes, the DNC can choose it's candidates in the primary, just like they chose Bernie Sanders and if he didn't lose by 3 Million votes then he would have been the candidate in the general.

3 Million votes. No fraud, no manufactured scandals, just millions of voters choosing Not-Bernie.

    Bernie didn't dispute anything I wrote, and it's not my word- I linked to all my sources.

    Gee it's no wonder you are still so ill informed about this subject when you flat out refuse to inform yourself when presented with the facts.

    It's supposed to be the Democratic VOTERS who get to choose who wins the primary, not the DNC. He wouldn't have lost if they hadn't colluded against him. I feel like I could explain this to a literal kindergartner and they would be able to comprehend it.

    Yes fraud, yes scandals- fucking learn to read you ignorant lib.

    Actually yeah, the Sanders campaign was very clear that Brazile was in contact with all of them and not favoring a candidate.

    One Sanders’ staff defended Brazile in the wake of the email’s release, separating her from the DNC officials implicated in this summer’s hack.

    “I can’t speak to what she did or didn’t send to Clinton people. All I can speak to is the relationship our camp had with her,” Symone Sanders, a former Sanders campaign press secretary, wrote to Politico Monday. “During the primary, Donna regular reached out for messaging guidance from us and was very helpful. She was even handed and we all had a great working relationship with her.”

    You gave a link to "evidence of collusion/corruption" and the article on the other end says Hillary Clinton, longtime member of the DNC, fundraised for the DNC to bring them out of debt to banks and vendors. That's not corruption, thats what political parties do, they pool funds and promote their candidates. Bernie Sanders didn't have to do this because, and this might come as a shock to you, Bernie Sanders is not part of the DNC.

    It doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to program them to do that.

    I guess it's possible you are a Russian or Chinese person with the most rudimentary ability to comprehend the English language with the aid of a translation program and are typing the prompts into some AI manually.

    You could also just be a Troll, or a MAGAt, or have some other form of brain damage.

    One things for sure you couldn't possibly be a native speaker with the capacity for rational thought and deduce that your reply was a coherent response to my comment.

    But WHY would a bot be programmed to do an edit?

    Also, promoting the DNC is the opposite of what Chinese, Russian, or Maga influences want. The Meuller Report revealed a very large amount of effort was put into promoting Bernie Sanders in 2016 AFTER THE PRIMARY ENDED. TikTok endorsed Trump in 2024 and in return Trump reversed the TikTok ban. Trump is siding with Russia over Ukraine, previously tried to dismantle NATO at the end of his last term, the same NATO that China hates with a passion.

    I'm not sure who pays you or what the game is, but I'm not an idiot. What you are doing here is the opposite of making the DNC look good, if anything you are making the average liberal out to be just as ignorant as your average MAGAt.

    Lol sure okay you're not a Tankie you just oppose everyone that they oppose and support all the outcomes that they support. Maybe you're not a tankie, I'm sure there are no shortage of idiots.

    Supporters of Authoritarian Eastern Empires including USSR, CCP, NK, and modern Russia. People who oppose liberalism, NATO, the EU, etc. They claim to oppose Capitalism but it's moreso just that they use it as a dog whistle to complain about the west without any real intention to bring any amount of fairness or progressive reform because they view the west and all of it's people as enemies who should suffer.

    The endorse and promote the GOP and under the strict condition that they don't actually have a chance at winning the election: any progressive candidate.

    Wow, that's actually not extremely far off from the mark! It's not right of course but it's the closest you have come so far to getting a correct answer this entire conversation.

    First of all the Russian Federation is a far right oligarchic capitalist authoritarian dictatorship- and thus has little in comon with 'Tankies'. It's much closer to a fascist nation than a "communist" one.

    Tankie is a pejorative term for authoritarian "communists", especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes. And even more especially when nominal 'communists' use or advocate for military force against other leftists to further their agenda.

    Neither Leftists nor Tankies have anything whatsoever to do with Hitler or fascism- which is a far right ideology. Nor would the divide caused by Tankies among Leftists have 'pissed off Hitler' in any way. He would have been delighted by it in fact, since Fascism is an inherently anti-communist ideology and Stalin was one of his main enemies.

    So, instead of having "a board full of magic buttons that (would have) pissed off Hitler"- you are just a very ill informed troll that would have pleased Hitler more than anyone.

    The USSR, the PRC, and the DPRK are/were Tankies, so you got that much right at least. However extending the definition of Tankie to include anyone that couldn't defeat the GOP in an election is moronic in the extreme. Actually saying that is a moronic take is an insult to morons.

    On top of that, much like in many other areas you haven't the slightest clue as to whether or not Bernie could have beaten Trump if the DNC hadn't colluded against him- in fact many political analysts predicted that Bernie would have handily defeated Trump in 2016- and support for progressive and leftist thought has grown exponentially since then. As a matter of fact it's probable that the DNC propping up a right wing Harris during the last election instead of a progressive was what cost us the election and put Trump in power- so the DNC would count as Tankies by your own very stupid definition.

    Considering your inability to differentiate between Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Donna Brazile, your analysis on who or what could potentially beat the GOP in an election means even less than nothing. Tucker Carlson has a better grasp of the political landscape than you do, and believe me that is a super low bar to clear.
