We had this, but the DNC & its neolibs stopped Bernie and the progressive movement.

Now it’s too late.

Nazis have taken over America.

Bernie was right. I've been a Dem since I registered to vote at 18 (I'm 59 now) but I have reached the point where I no longer consider myself a real part of the Dem party. You explained why I feel the way I do. Thank-you, @humanistreport.bsky.social, for getting it right yet again.

I continue to dream of “what if” the DNC hadn’t completely screwed Bernie—twice.

henryw1la.bsky.social•45 days ago

On which way did they screw him? Truth is, he did not have enough support from racial justice organizations and women’s rights organizations. For instance, he struggles to answer key questions at an even run by an organization for black womens’ rights https://x.com/notcapnamerica/status/1121160119998226432?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1121160119998226432%7Ctwgr%5E7b0d9116fbaef19e2755b8067e8940ea614ad475%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theroot.com%2Fembed%2Finset%2Fiframe%3Fid%3Dtwitter-1121160119998226432autosize%3D1

Through DNC leadership bias, superdelegates aligning with HRC before the primaries, HRC/DNC joint fundraising, fewer debates, media blackout/bias, debate rule changes, Berniebro narrative nonsense, Warren’s bs accusation, party consolidation around Biden & voting issues that suppressed progressives.

A primer on the 2016 shenanigans--by no means comprehensive but covers some of the high-points:

The Berniebro narrative is definitely a real a thing. It refers to people who support economically populist policies but who are socially moderate, at best. Berniebros generally don’t think LGBT issues and racial justice issues are important

sweetfreedom.bsky.social•39 days ago

But we absolutely think and care about these issues. To think otherwise is mind boggling.

Bernie feels strongly about both and addressed each:

On paper, yes, though in practice, he’s been weak on those things https://www.theroot.com/bernie-sanders-has-a-black-woman-problem-and-thats-goi-1834302198

jriddlecult.bsky.social•39 days ago

The narrative is real; the phenomenon is not. It's a smear recycled from 2008. But even the smear isn't what you describe there.

The DNC preferred Hillary, but it was still up to primary voters who to vote for. The DNC preferred Hillary because she’s a Democrat, and Bernie is an Independent who was still heavily connect to people like Tulsi Gabbard, and Bernie has struggled with minorities https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/01/us/politics/bernie-sanders-virgi

I deactivated my account on Twitter. Can’t access.
How did they screw him? I’m sorry you don’t recall or never saw it.

henryw1la.bsky.social•45 days ago

All I know of are claims from WikiLeaks that amount to conspiracy theories. Basically, all they show is that the DNC had a preference for Hillary, but the fact is that Hillary is a lifelong Democrat and Bernie isn’t, and Bernie failed with some key voting blocs https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/apr/25/bernie-sanders-booed-she-the-people-women-of-color-2020

Debbie Wasserman Schultz was blatantly hostile to Bernie. You also had the mass “dropping out of the race” by multiple contenders the weekend before Super Tuesday in 2020, even by candidates who were in strong contention for the nomination.
The DNC has no interest in fairness—and I voted Dem

davidwebbsleek.bsky.social•45 days ago

If the DNC doesn’t want Independent candidates to be nominees, state it—and don’t invite Independents to caucus with you in the Senate or House.
I’m just glad President Biden finally called out the oligarchs. I just hope it isn’t too late.

kleinline.bsky.social•45 days ago

Does a good job of highlighting how the dems shot themselves in the foot in 2016.
Dems care more, but they are drinking from the same dark money well, which divides their loyalties.
