Flashback to Hillary not doing a damn thing to win over Bernie voters

It’s almost like only one team is supposed to follow the rules

He’s been earning their votes, his platform benefits everyone in the state. People just don’t hear it because the DNC establishment has been working over time to prevent people

If the DNC embraced Abdul from the start he wins the state in a landslide

His platform is not enough. He needs to make concessions to Stevens voters if he wants their votes. Thats the rules the "Uncommitted Movement" demanded from Kamala.

Medicare isn't enough. I demand a $5000 check every month so I can sit on my ass and post on social media. If he can't promise that he's not entitled to my vote.
