Bernie Sanders' message to Trump tonight.
I wish I could believe there would be a next election or that Americans were capable of learning.
Biggest problem with Bernie. He's been beaten for years into somehow believing the liberal lie that we can all be a family if we just vote hard enough. He points out the bullshit well, but then just connects it to voting for more democrats. There needs to be a call for a new workers parry. We need a new party, not a new democrat.
Math & Chaos theory says you have to get rid of FPtP voting before that can happen.
There is a reason the GOP is making other voting methods illegal in states they have control over.
Then, even if you manage that, those parties have to do the work at a local level. The Democratic Socialists seem to be the only 3rd party that understands that. The rest of them are nothing more than novelty parties or outright spoilers.
We need a new party, not a new democrat
Never going to happen while we still have FPTP, at least not the way you think it will. What would really happen, is this new party would split the Democratic vote, and the Republicans would win even harder. You have to get rid of FPTP before any 3rd party will be a realistic possibility. Until then it would just make things even worse.
Cute. He thinks there will be an election.
there will be.
the republicants know that when turnout is high, they lose. society and reality lean to the left. that's why they do all the registration and voter suppression and put up as many obstacles as they can to access the ballot box.
there will need to be historic and unprecedented voter participation in every state and in every district to make up for all that right-wing maga bullshit that tries to keep people from being able to vote.
Of course there will. It'll just be illegal to vote for anyone except Trump.
Yeah and you can buy a hat to show your support for the regime
Kash Patel will simply fabricate cases against any potentially electable candidates and prosecute them into oblivion.
It breaks my heart that Sanders is the person we needed to turn this shitshow around, and was knifed in the back by his "Compatriots."
A good man, fucked by a shit system.
I remember the cries of 'Is Bernie Sanders "Presidential" enough?' in 2015, and then America electing Trump, and shaking my fucking head.
His own party knifed him in the back, and pushed Clinton.
“But he’s so oooooooollllllldddd.”
God job, democrats.
I remember watching this show called the circus back in 2015 and it tracked all the political shiftings which were happening in the lead up to the big race. Needless to say I lost interest once Bernie wasn't selected to run the party, shit country that will never fight for their own best interests.

This is what EVERYBODY doesn't understand. The DNC is NEVER going to select Bernie because he is NOT a Democrat. He is, and always has been, an Independant.
The presidential nomination is the highest award a party can give to a member, and they are going to give it to a loyal member who has supported the party, raised money for them, praised their actions, etc. Bernie has done none of that. He may caucus with the Dems, but he doesn't raise money for them, and he has often been very critical of Democrats.
He's NOT a Democrat, and there was never a time when the Democrats would give him the nomination, no matter how many votes he got in the primary. The last thing the Dems want is for a non-Dem to step up and fix the country, and prove how ineffective they've been in every Democratic administration.
"next election"
fingers crossed for this weekend's federal election in Australia to go in a similar trajectory
Same here. Albo all the way! I'll be at a polling booth all day, so should be interesting.
Might help if we tell everyone about negative effects of placing tarrifs on wombats and kangaroos
So I went looking to see what Australia's primary exports to the USA are, at second on the list was 'Pearls, precious stones, metals, coins', which was a bit vague, I thought. Fortunately it was a clickable link that breaks it down. Well, shit.
Even if we have another election, it won't matter until we fix this.

They stole the vote in every way they could. They will do so again.
Bernie thinks there will actually be another real election.
They were cheering "trump 2028" at a 100 day rally yesterday.
Actual Nazis
I hope AOC, Bernie, and friendly governors are hiring DEI military members. If a civil war happens, it would be preferable if our commanders and soldiery is in good order.
It is my guess that Bernie is a man of peace, but I hope he is willing to prepare in advance for the conflict to come.
Guess New England is one of the easiest parts of us to defend in a civil war, so he's got that going for him as well. First liberate the north east than expand from Canadian border. Go DEI Army Go!
(Can someone call Hollywood, I have a movie to pitch. It's called The blacks, the gays and the females vs the damned biggot maga-folk 1. Yass)
This is why local elections mean so much. You need to put in people that are going to fight like Bernie for us. It's the only way.
Trump and the Republicans are pissing off so many people, we'll see how this plays out. Midterms are going to crash and burn for the Republicans. Not everywhere, but in a lot of places (like Wisconsin).
Well, it the US will have fair and open elections...
I'm really hoping that this translates to Australia. We currently have our main conservative party enlisting literal Christian cultists to intimidate the centre and left volunteers at certain electorates.
Everybody here saying there won't be an election in 2028 is going to vote lesser evil again.
