Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

Both can be true. How TF we have 4 years to produce a candidate against trump, and the best we got was walking corpse Biden 2.0 and then Kamala "I'm speaking while your homeland is genocided" Harris.
Bernie Sanders has been the best we, the voters, have come up with. Biden and Harris were both offered to us as the only choices rich people would accept
Bernie also catches a ton of shit from the "Ziohran Obamadani >:C" people for blaming Netanyahu and not Israel. Since they have no goal other than making Trump win they would definitely refuse to vote for Bernard the Warlard or whatever stupid ass catch phrase they got told to say
BlueMAGA liberals can't imagine anyone actually believing in something
Because the candidate doesn't matter anymore. You will get some shit propaganda narrative hammered into your brain anyway (see: "vote for Trump so there will be no genocidal war in the middle east").
So why would democrats care about anything else than their own internal power dynamics? It's not like they can get a good candidate when collective brain-damage will make sure that it's a totally useless candidate anyway once the screeching morons on (social) media tell you what your new reality is.
Disclaimer: I'm not american.
For me, major fail from Democrat side was to not acknowledge Biden's mental state, actively hide it as if he's going to run 2nd tern no issues. Kamala was chosen not by people but by a party. She is vice president, no primaries happened, she has to run I guess.
So many things could've been different but they weren't. Bernie should've been president before or after Obama, but here we are. This whole shitfest so called US politics is an open book with pictures and examples of who actually runs this country and for whom rules and laws are written.
The problems with Capitalism run beyond the USA 😉
Give Blackshirts and Reds a read. It's shocking how similar the rise of fascism in Europe is to the rise in the US right now.
Capitalism is the problem. Trump is just a symptom.
