Day 1 was a barn burner. I personally think Day 2 was fine, but not to the same level. Weā€™ll see where day 3 takes us!

    By winning the partyā€™s nomination and running for president? The fact that she failed to beat Trump doesnā€™t mean she didnā€™t try.

    Or waitā€¦ Are you one of those conspiracy theorists who thinks the DNC stole the nomination from Bernie? Bernie supporters stole the nomination from Bernie - and I say that as someone who freaking loves Bernie Sanders and voted for him in the primaries. With all the loud, public demonstrations they did in 2016, you know what they didnā€™t do? They didnā€™t 1) fucking register as Democrats, and 2) fucking vote in the primaries. Clinton won the primaries in a landslide.

    I have a good friend who worked for the Democratic party in Oregon. He strongly supported Bernie, too. But somehow, all his pleas to his fellow Bernie-or-bust types to actually register as Democrats for Oregonā€™s closed primaries fell on deaf ears. They preferred to march in the streets instead of march to the ballot dropbox and make a fucking difference.

        Oh, so the Democratic establishment stopped Bernie supporters from voting in Democratic primaries? No? And your response was a non sequitur?

            Hereā€™s how this conversation has gone so far:

            • You: Clinton dynasty!
            • Me: One generation consisting of two people who arenā€™t even related isnā€™t a dynasty.
            • You: (Topic change) Fuck responding to your point, Iā€™m just here to hate on Clinton cheating her way into the nomination and giving us Trump!
            • Me: She didnā€™t give us Trump, and you sound like a conspiracy theorist. Clinton didnā€™t cheat, she literally just got way more votes in the 2016 primaries because her voters showed up and Bernieā€™s didnā€™t.
            • You: (Topic change) Fuck responding to your point, hereā€™s an Instagram post that pushes my favorite conspiracy theories about the DNC, none of which acknowledge that Clintonā€™s voters turned up and Bernieā€™s didnā€™t!
            • Me: Just gonna point out that the DNC didnā€™t stop Bernieā€™s supporters from voting.
            • You: (Topic change) I said, fuck responding to your point, hereā€™s a random video from some guy arguing that both parties are the same!

            Since thatā€™s how this has gone, hereā€™s my last response on this thread:

            • Me: Why hasnā€™t literally everyone blocked this guy yet? Well, I guess Iā€™ll do my part.

            I cordially invite you to reassess how you interact with people, but youā€™ve lost the opportunity to do that with me. Bye.

        The Democratic party stopped a non-Democrat from getting their nomination?

        Holy fucking shit! Crime of the century! How DARE the Democratic party ensure a Democrat was the Democratic partyā€™s nominee for President!
