I love hearing from centrists, who've shat the bed every election for over a decade. Without COVID we'd currently be in the third Trump term, all because of you folks.

You see AOC and Bernie filling football stadiums in red states and you think: "We should totally nominate Harris again". Here in Missouri voters approved a $15 minimum wage, required paid sick leave, and legal abortion, but sure, just keep running centrist candidates. That's totally gonna work.

I wish you all would fight fascism with an iota of the fervor with which you fight the Mamdanis of the world.

A guy on the internet thinking something doesn't elect the candidate... votes in primaries do. And they have consistently chosen centrists.

Respectfully, you should go read up on why superdelegates were invented, and maybe the lawsuit in Florida where the DNC stated publicly that they rig their primaries.

Voters do not choose Democratic presidential candidates.

Superdelegates have not been used for either Hillary or Biden. If they had been you'd be right to be pissed, but there was no need because they got enough votes. Voters did choose the candidates.
