@Extra_Special_Carbon @[email protected] Okay, twice #Bernie lost against more moderate dems in the #primaries. The only thing that suggests is either that there are more moderate dems than far left dems OR that the far left was more divided than more moderate dems.

I don’t think Biden would have enacted policies nearly as left as he has were it not for the more progressive wing of the #DemocraticParty

Correction:
The most popular Democratic Candidate was winning the popular votes in both 2016 & 2020 Primary elections.
In 2016 Hillary used an illegal PAC troll farm tie-in named “Correct the Record” to attack “Obama Boys” renamed as “Bernie Boys” even though there were as many women in #NotMeUs.

2/2

In 2020 the DNC split the voters over 18 major candidates as a “Captain Biden” tactic. When Bernie started winning again, the DNC forced all other candidates to drop out and endorse Biden.

When our mediocre candidates combine…Captain Biden!

Besides the troll farm, the DNC used “Super Delegates”
consisting of Senators, Congress, Governors, & State Party Leaders to thwart the voters.
