Was it Clinton or Biden that caused you to turn your back to them?

I got into politics more deeply than ever, going door to door for bernie back in '16. The verdict by the judge in 17 saying the DNC is a private entity caused me to no longer believe in the Dem's primary process. The way HRC's campaign wanted to control both her and trump coverage in the media, the podesta emails, and that whole related scandal really put a beat down on my whole belief system.

So i kept reading and thinking and adjusting my political worldview and here i am, arguing it on a small forum on the web (or cynically working tirelessly to helpTrump win, depending on your pov)

Bernie didn’t have a chance to win, that’s why Trump desperately wanted to run against him.

He would have been great, but had no chance pulling in enough votes.

Bernie didn’t have a chance to win

The veracity of this comment aside, of course he didn't have a chance, the DNC hand-selected Hillary.

Why did you bring it up instead of what i brought up, the verdict in '17 saying the primaries were rigged?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hillary won the primaries in 2016.

Biden win them in 2020 even though Trump desperately wanted to run against Bernie.

I think you’re seeing conspiracies where there aren’t any.

Uh, i said its a documented court case. Look it up, or don't, but we won't speak further until you demonstrate you're not a waste of my time.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

You must know what court verdict you’re referring to, so I guess you’re unwilling to share the answer to my question.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Are you taking about Wilding v. DNC Services Corp. or a different court case?
