The right wing party is 100% okay with stagnant to regressive policies that is why it works for them. The left wing is not. We aren't talking about flipping swing voters, (though it is important to note that Bernie earned more independent and previously unregistered voters last night), we're talking about unifying a broken party. A centrist neoliberal is not going to unify the party regardless of all of this stupid concern trolling that also didn't work in 2016. This should have been the lesson that the dems learned, it wasn't.

The left wing isn't suddenly different today than it always has been. America is far from being a leftist country. You guys can't even figure out gun rights or health care and you think the country will do a hard pivot to Bernie after Trump?

The lesson from Biden losing (and what should have been the lesson of Clinton losing) isn't that they should have chosen Bernie to win. It's that your country is way more fucking conservative and right wing than you're willing to acknowledge in the places that matter.

I'm sure Bernie would dominate if all of America was like California. Unfortunately it isn't. You guys can act all smug for a night when Biden loses but then you're just gonna be stuck in a worse position due to pride anyway.

I'm telling you this from a country that has universal health care that is constantly being set back from people in rural areas and voting for conservatives. We have preferential voting and independents and the left wing that you support still constantly get dominated in elections.

If the DNC could only vote for Bernie or Biden who would win? Because it doesn't seem like Bernie would. That's meant to be the easier fight for him. Not the only thing stopping him.
