yeah that’s still not “shooting someone in the head” by going forward with planned elections. Even if they did it completely by mail or delayed by a couple weeks/months, Bernie woulda lost.
It sucks, it really really does, but that’s the reality. We can’t be deluded.

I do not believe there is any evidence that our movement had sufficient support to win the primaries absent a crowded field. Please feel free to dispute this
Sorry 🤷🏻♀️
Also you are literally still doing the thing. Even labelling it either agreeing with you or being a conspiracy is literally the bad faith thing
You are myth making for fascists.
Things are complicated. Politics are messy. We need to learn from our history instead of sticking our heads in the sand.
It sucks.
It literally CANNOT be both.
… is not the compelling argument you seem to think it is
I think Bernie could have won over a majority of dem primary voters with a bit more luck and with a better run campaign.
I think Harris could have won over a majority of dem primary voters with a bit more luck and with a better run campaign.
You don’t actually think that.
the party establishment needs to be destroyed.
in the mean time, leftists may need to run on the D ballot line, especially in local races
imo it may not actually make sense for the left in 2028 to run on the D ballot line for the presidency but it's too early to tell
Even if he got the nom he would've been blocked from winning the general.
They built the primary structure specifically to beat challenges to their chosen candidate, like Bernie. They admitted it.
They said he wasn’t a “real” Democrat because he’d criticized them before, and tried for actual leftist policies. They weren’t letting him win
he "likes" Bernie. But he "likes" having a party that looks out for people like lawyers above poor people at every turn more.
Like, c’mon. No. Just no.
It's a shame so many libs haven't learned this lesson.
