politics

I mean they lost what 10mil votes? I'm with sanders they need to fix their shit. Get real. They're going to run Harris again with slightly more left wing policies, Republicans will point out she's an insincere flip flop and destroy her again. But it will be the DNC not the Republicans that setup the loss.

We know they don't respect Sanders.

Exhibit A: Picking Hilary.

They RFK'd him.

Pelosi should just gtfo and become a stock broker. She's unusually good at trading stocks for some obscure reason.

(The reason is insider trading)

Lmfao imagine being aligned with pelosi and thinking you're right.

I don't respect Pelosi.

This is where Pelosi proves Bernie right just by talking.

Political parties are private institutions and should not be in a position to shape American policies at all. Having a two party system allows centralized control over everyone else in the given party. If elected officials feel pressured to fall in line then they're not fighting for the American people, they're fighting for their own political party.

Pelosi’s response kinda proves that the DNC is just the other side of the shit coin running the funhouse arcade game of American democracy

Pelosi is the best example of what's wrong with Dems. Literally enriched herself off the pain and suffering of the working class and poor.

No Nancy. You and your DNC are wrong and that is why you lost the presidency, senate, and house.

Fake party.

Unfortunately his whole political career has been the democrats telling him he’s wrong as they continually shoot themselves in their collective dick.

I, for one, will be writing in his name, voting third party or not at all until they give me a genuinely progressive candidate. Until then, fuck them, and fuck this country.

I'm not upset Bernie was criticized - no one should be above a good-faith critique and ideas should be judged on merit as opposed to who says them. The reason I disagree with Pelosi is that I think Sanders made some damn good points, and if the Dems don't listen they are going to fail again.

Anyone got the DNC's number?

The Pelosi interview is honestly batshit insane. She doesn't see the election as a rejection of the party, thinks the Democrats are doing well, Kamala Harris did everything right, Sanders is wrong, and then she made some backhanded comments about how Biden should have dropped out earlier. I know some of that is spin she that she has to say, but it's still deeply out of touch.

Pelosi's attitude is a big reason why

She believes voters work for her and need to do what she wants or she scolds them, afterwards they'll listen.

Bernie believes the best way to get elected is to show voters you'll help them.

One method is very effective, it's just foreign governments, billionaires, and corporations pay a lot of money to make sure candidates like that never make it out of a primary.

If an elected official put the average voter first, where does that leave the wealthy?

Not first? Completely unacceptable, Thurston get my mink we're leaving.

Will be writing my reps later today and I sent a few bucks to Bernie since I figure what better way to tell a politician they're barking up the right tree?

I know online petitions are generally cringe but if there was one backing up Bernie's stance here and telling the Dems to get their heads out of their own asses, I'd sign it in a heartbeat. If other people feel similarly, maybe we should get the ball rolling? Best case Dems get the message, worst case we waste our time and nothing changes, right?
