It’s not up for debate that a large amount of Bernie Bros stayed home instead of voted. That 12% is only a portion of those that chose to vote against their own interests- the remaining asshats that threw a temper tantrum and stayed home were no different than the kids now.
Buddy, those were traditionally Republican voters who decided to vote for someone running as a Democrat. That’s how much appeal Bernie had. I know this because I phone banked during the primaries and after people living in open primary states realized how primaries worked and I wasn’t calling to fight Trump they got excited hearing about Bernie.
You’re imagining that a bunch of voters who voted for Obama suddenly voted for Trump in 2016. Sure bud.
Oh I definitely bailed. I’m not denying that at all. But we were talking about Bernie supporters who voted for Trump. I voted but I didn’t vote for Trump or Hillary.
First of all, fuck you for “Bernie Bros” slur. Bernie had the most inclusive campaign of any candidate.
The people who stayed home were not steadfast Bernie supporters. If they were, they would have done what Bernie asked them to do when he endorsed Hillary, and then Biden. Also, 12% is the smallest number we have seen in the last 50 years.
A huge part of this country absolutely hates establishment politicians of either party. Voter turnout in the US is abysmal because of that. Bernie had a unique ability to rouse those voters, and we could have had them in the general, bot nothing was going to make them show up for Joe Biden.
The insane logic behind your tantrums is that being a politician with a broader appeal than other politicians in your party is a bad thing. It’s no wonder Democrats managed to lose to a circus clown.
You are not going to berate anti-establishment voters, especially conservative anti-establishment voters, into showing up at the polls. That is not a thing that happens in this reality. The only thing you might achieve is to convince even more voters that the system is hopeless and not worth their time to get involved.
The bottom line is, that this country was very likely doomed when Biden won that primary. He was the wrong candidate, and the reasons why are playing out before your eyes. The absolute best case scenario is that Biden manages to edge our Trump, and then God help the Democratic party in 2028.
Yeah, getting pissed about genocide actually is kinda like getting pissed about a medical system that is killing people by the thousands. Setting aside your slur, you aren’t entirely wrong.
If I were a Republican strategist, I would have trolls doing exactly what you are, in addition to trolls attacking Biden. Maybe that’s even you, but I don’t know how we could tell.
If you want to argue that Biden isn’t as culpable for what’s going on as many think he is, I think there is a case to be made. Biden sure makes it difficult, not to mention Pelosi’s latest idiocy, but foreign policy is complicated. I personally don’t think “Genocide Joe” is entirely fair, but I also know that you aren’t going to convince people of that by being an asshole and throwing slurs at them.

Same show- different band.

No, not all of them were. There were TONS of democratic voters that bailed when Berne dripped out. Don’t play it down. We were all there.

Bernie Bros then, “gEnoCiDe jOe” kids now.
Same thing.
