Which is orders of magnitude better than a conservative pile of goo that actively wants to inflict as much suffering on you that is humanly possible. Which is very loved by a median voter for no good reason whatsoever

    goo is more human than robot. there's a reason why neolibs lose elections but Trumps, Mamdanis and Bernies win, and it's not populism, it's ideology.

    Bernie lost popular vote two times in a row.

    Bernie won plenty of mayoral and senate elections, as well as many states during his primary campaigns.

    America has pockets of progressiveness so to speak, that's why once in a generation you can get occasional mayoral wins and such. But they never grow into anything bigger, for many many reasons, from the fact that America is a stupid country full of stupid people, to the fact that lefties will always chose infighting and purity checks over pragmatism, to the fact that significant portion left-leaning people are extremely anti-democracy and use "voting" as a slur word.
    Doesn't mean nothing can be done, but you also can't just ignore all of that

    Almost like the nominations were rigged and the media hated someone who would ruin the rich who own the media's income.

    If there is something that Americans love to do more than bitching about their elections being rigged, that's not actually participating in said elections and waiting that someone will do voting for them, while they sit around and call everyone who actually votes "libs". That and daydreaming about murdering people during their inevitable revolution/civil war.
    That doesn't mean elections aren't actually rigged, they very much are.

    Between the preferences of the machinery of both parties, media ownership - including web companies, increasingly militarised police, ai + agents having the potential to effect the kind of 1980's de-industrialisation on the middle class, and the rise of a surveillance state that would make the stasi blush, voting for the lesser of two evils isn't going to do it any more. The lesser of two evils, both complicit in the construction of the explicit oligarchy America how has, is responsible for this.

    You might extend the fuse a bit, but that will result in a bigger bomb. If it isn't too late already, you need to look to the likes of Sanders. Or you need a No Kings protest every day, or as often as possible. Or a permanent Occupy Washington, which I think would come at serious risk of harm for the participants. It is critical now for America's future.
