    Hillary straight-up got more votes than Bernie in 2016 as well. To my (and in retrospect, the entire nation’s) regret.

      I voted for Bernie twice, and whenever a Democrat is running against a Republican, I will always vote blue. I’ll continue to try to influence the Democratic party by voting in primaries. A ton of local elections are being won by increasingly progressive candidates, and they are going to graduate to higher offices over time

        Is this where you get your news? Is this why you’re such a a fucking misinformation machine?

        Everyone knows how it went down in 2016 you fucking dufus. You can read all about it. Check out that map at the top, then read about how the roll call vote featured in this video as a big deal was actually a performative act that took place after Clinton had secured the nomination because she fundamentally had more votes, with or without the superdelegates.

        You don’t have access to some special information here. “Whatch this video, then you’ll see” is the most brainless shit ever, and the kind of thing my great aunt Joyce posts on Facebook.

        Btw the DNC changed the superdelegate system after this, and I voted for Bernie twice and think he would’ve beat Trump in '16.

          At least warmonger Hilldawg’s egotistical dream of being POTUS was crushed. Forever. Still makes me laugh. What a piece of shit.

            Again, talking massive shit about progressive politicians and never one word about Republicans. So curious.

                  Let’s not.

                  I get that you want to lie and say that everyone from the centrist wing of the party is totally a progressive, but you don’t have to pretend anyone who calls you out on it is a trumpist.

                    Okay, that’s great since I have never done that. What I have claimed is that people standing up to tell others to waste their vote are helping support a Trump victory, whether on purpose, from calculated apathy, or because they’re stupid and don’t realize it.
