I doubt I will ever be voting Democrat again. They've failed the Country twice in 2 crucial moments, and I'll never forgive 'em for it.
The people wanted Bernie Sanders in 2016 and we could've had 8 years of Bernie, but instead they forced Hillary and a loss on us, and then they forced Kamala and a loss on us instead of doing a Primary to allow the people to choose their candidate.
They try to force their will on the voters rather than listen to them. As bad as Trump is, The Democrats also don't deserve anyone's support.
Totally respect the fact you supported Bernie. But Hillary got more votes. I saw far bigger steals than this.

Like I said the Democrats let down the entire Country when we couldn't afford to be let down. They're as responsible for Trump as the Republicans are.
The only way they could've lost to Trump is to run a woman against him, and they did it twice. They chose to lose so that they could claim to be "Progressive". I don't need Progressive losers, and neither does America.
To equate the evil that is Trump and his cabinet to the nomination process of the Democrats is simply absurd.
In Clinton's case, the people chose her. People could've come out and voted for Bernie and got him across the line, but people didn't. Sure the party didn't make it easy for him, but still, in the end, if enough primaries went to Sanders then he would've won. As for the last-minute switcheroo, after Biden pulled out and the only other viable and financed candidate Newsom said he wasn't running, what the hell were they supposed to do? Take a total unknown. Have a super-primary in two weeks across the whole nation? Harris was the only viable candidate and given her late start, she did well.
The problem is not the Democrats, the problem is there are enough brain-dead, black-hating, women-hating, gay-hating. Muslim-hating fucktards in the USA that they'd rather vote a total moron like Trump into power than any sort of person that seems like they're better educated than they are. So many threatened little snowflakes in the US.
The Republicans could've ended Trump after Jan 6th. But they didn't. It's on them, not the Democrats.
That all said, I hope they learn their lesson and DO NOT nominate Pete Buttegeig next time. AS smart as he is, as good a politician as he is, all these fucktards are not going to be voting for a gay man, for the same reasons they didn't vote for Clinton or Harris.
