Claiming that was the easiest election in history discounts the fact that just under half the voting public didn't respect a very-experienced politician with a history of pro-people causes and perseverance; they wanted the man with no experience and scandals buzzing around him like flies.
Don't hate the player.
No, we wanted Bernie and abstained because both choices were disgusting.
How'd that work out? 😅
Do you remember the PUMAs in 2008? More Bernie Bros were willing to vote Hillary in the general than PUMAs were willing to vote Obama.
But we're getting distracted, you can't blame Bernie supporters because the politician chosen by the DNC had the blood of millions on her hands, and was just generally unlikable.
You run a politician that offers the people fuckall, of course they're not gonna take a day off work to vote for you, they'd rather have the money.
I remember PUMA! It originally stood for "Party Unity, My Ass". Can you imagine the uproar if Bernie supporters had done anything like that?
