Bernie is the billionaire class’s nightmare.
@georgetakei and despite his popularity, the dems still rig primaries for the likes of HRC. Then they wonder why & how MAGA/Trumpism takes hold of the common man.

@georgetakei

Deluded fools though they be, more than a few MAGAs voted for Trump because they actually believed he'd change things..

How did the Dem's manage to so bungle this and lose the trust of ordinary Americans?

A purge is long overdue.. in BOTH parties. Out with the boomers & their endemic hypocrisy and inability to change.

@georgetakei

Let the party swing to the left, as the electorate has been demanding for decades at this point, and let the chips fall where they may. I am beginning to think that the Dem party rules out of fear, not out of a desire for progress or change. There is no other explanation for the past 12 years.

@Felis_Catus_Domesticus @georgetakei

"Let the party swing to the left"

It's not going to happen until the left votes

Just making sure everyone gets that

Corporatist dems aren't going to magically change

We need to show up in the primaries and vote them out

I'm not accusing you of not getting that

Just for everyone else reading who might think "they go left, then i'll vote"

Nope. Doesn't work that way

You vote. You show up in the primaries and replace them

@benroyce @Felis_Catus_Domesticus @georgetakei right-wing Dems aren't corporatist. Like Republicans, they are first and foremost the most bigoted Dems. Corporatism comes from bigotry & hatred. The left talks FAR too much about corporatism and far too little about bigotry & hatred.

@jonesmurphy @Felis_Catus_Domesticus @georgetakei

Some of these people "on the left" couldn't bring themselves to vote for the black woman. ostensibly because of their monomania over one issue. And that monomania over one issue feels forced, contrived, inauthentic. Are they really on the left. They don't seem to care about anything else

When we look at those who would vote for biden but not harris, i see bigotry there as well. From very loud, very obsessed, single issue so-called "left" voices
