That sound... As if millions of "muh corrupt DNC" trolls cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced...
Doesn't change any of the entirely valid complaints about the DNC. They've been running on "vote for us because the GOP should scare you shitless" for a good long while now.
They don't have to do any better than not being as horrible/scary as the other guy and they know it. And the GOP usually gives them an awfully low bar.
It's this shitty attitude of the DNC that allowed the "genocidal maniac vs genocidal maniac" meme to fester. If you don't figure out how to take the party away from their hands, you'll keep running into situations where the DNC and its politicians will keep betraying your expectations with truly horrendous shit, rather than trying to represent their actual voters. Unfortunately far too many Americans have too much Stockholm Syndrome to dare move a finger if they don't have literally Bernie Sanders running on primaries, which he isn't going to do anymore due to age.
Bernie Sanders has already stated that it is up to the Youth of the nation to run against every single politician and win back their future. Young voters and young politicians must have each others backs.
