Here in reality that isn't happening before November (3 months). And Bernie knows it.
Time to put our adults pants on and make adult decisions to attempt to save our democracy. Once the fascists are out we can force the Democrat party in a more progressive direction.
Edit: Downvote common sense statements all you want. You're only highlighting your own ignorance. Everything I stated is undeniably true here in reality. And if you don't think the Democrat party can be reformed, I implore you to review the last 10 years in which conservatives reformed the Republican party in the worst way possible.
Your "democracy" has been dead for 50+ years, if it ever really existed.
The Democratic party is the polite face of fascism.
Your idea of "adult pants" is as cartoonish as your worldview.
Blah blah blah. Defeatism blah blah blah. Whine whine whine. I'll be at the polls voting to do my part to protect what I can. You can keep crying on the internet.
I'll take "Stupid Statements From Whiny Bitches" for $500, Alex.
Excuse me while I don't consider the clownish opinions of whiny defeatist bitches.
Sure, do that. Then what? When the result sucks are you gonna go back to being a defeatist little bitch afterwards and wait another two years for the next election?
Simple. I'll keep voting for progressive candidates that actually stand a chance of winning (Democrats) until the day I die and hope that enough other Americans educate themselves enough to do the same.
And I assume I'll also have to keep listenening to people like you implying that the system can't be fixed but who lack the balls to start the revolution they keep implying is needed while they keep advocating for it from the comfort of their Doritos dust covered couches.
So go home and be a defeatist little bitch? Or, if we're gonna do the ad hominens thing, "advocating for [Americans educating themselves] from the comfort of [your] Doritos dust covered couches"?
Can't fix a problem you don't understand. I'm trying to spoon-feed you some understanding and that seems to cause you some serious cognitive dissonance. Why?
