    Well that’s a revisionist republican take. Dude balanced the budget. Hillary’s primary was fair, Bernie was never popular with registered Democrats, he was never going to win and anybody not buying republican bullshit was well aware of it. If anything Clinton pulled the window left before 9/11 and revenge of the Bush put the final nails in the coffin.

      There’s too much to explain how fucking awful bill Clinton is and how hard he fucked us from NAFTA to the crime bill and so much in between. So laugh your ass off to this and see you in a few hours.

      Also the Democratic supermajority killing Bernie when he was winning the vast majority of popular votes of the Democratic primary made it clear to many that the Democratic party isn’t ever going to work in their interest or budge a fraction left of enabling conservatives. There’s just zero evidence that he wasn’t going to win, but there was plenty that Hillary was much less popular.

        Jesus Christ some jackasses podcast isn’t a source. This dumb fuckery is why Americans deserve what we’re getting, we’re a bunch of belligerent dumb fucks listening to other dumb fucks like they know shit. Bernie got barely half the primary votes that Hillary got. It wasn’t even close. Bernie was popular with progressives who didn’t register Dem or vote in the primary. Y’all are too stupid to understand first past the post or the spoiler effect or the way the two party system means you have to vote for the lesser of two evils or you are explicitly condoning the greater evil. If you wanted Bernie you all should have registered Dem and voted for him in the primary but you didn’t, nevermind that Bernie isn’t even a fucking Dem and the idea he’d get the party nom was ridiculous from the get go. Fucks sake the Bernie bullshit is literally Russian propaganda and I’m tired of hearing idiots repeat it.

      You don’t deserve the down votes for stating uncomfortable truths. The DNC was NEVER going to give Bernie the nomination, for the simple reason that he’s not a Democrat.
