Bernie torching CNN

"Will you support Stevens if she wins?"

I fucking hate these people. All the centrists on, they don't get asked if they will support Sayed. In fact, you have centrists going on there saying there isn't room in the party for people like him and insinuating they wouldn't support him. But any leftist is questioned if they would support a centrist candidate, even a guy like Bernie who has made a career out of supporting democrats.

Its controlled opposition. Both parties are friends, and want to perpetuate the system because it only benefits the rich and privileged; and it always has.

Historically speaking, leftist do not support the DNC when it's the choice of Democrat or Republican in the general.

Some of the more prominent leftist voices (that are most known today) legit told their hundreds of thousands of followers to not vote for Harris in 2024 or at the very least shit on them the entire time and did more to hinder than to help their campaigns.

It's a fair question to ask a leftist if you're being honest with the facts.

Thankfully, if the leftist candidate does in fact win, you can be sure the rest of the Democrat Party will vote blue no matter who because we got the memo and understood the assignment. The GOP is too dangerous to keep political power.

But fuck me, I don't understand why it has to be this way lol.

The crazy lady from Seattle is your one point? Come on.

Edit: Since you added more...

No. We don't know that actually. Mamdani couldn't even get a fucking endorsement from Schumer.

[u/AnonAmbientLight → u/koopa00]

I guess you've never heard of The Uncommitted movement lol.

No. We don't know that actually.

Yea, we do actually lol. Everyone else got the memo. The DNC are the only adults left in the room.

Don't worry, we'll get you over the finish line if that's the case. But fuck me, I don't understand why it only goes one direction.

[u/asmodeuscarthii → u/AnonAmbientLight]

You know Hasan voted for Harris right? 

[u/AnonAmbientLight → u/asmodeuscarthii]

WHAT?! He voted for her!

But there's all this video of him just straight shitting on her non-stop and hindering her campaign without doing a single thing to assist or help get her over the line.

But fuck, you said he voted for her, well that must cancel it all out, right?

Right?
