    And let’s not forget that Hillary’s campaign promoted the dumbass as a viable candidate because she thought she’d be able to whip his ass no problem.

    So thanks for giving us trump Hillary, I hope you’re happy with your choices. And given we knew they were friendly back in the day (and the fact she tanked a progressive candidate), I’m sure she is. Plus, trump fucking everything 6 ways from Sunday makes her husband’s awful choices seem downright normal.

          Bernie lost by millions of primary votes. Bernie actually lost by a bigger margin to HRC than Trump lost the popular vote to her.

            I’ll never forget the day that primary happened. I worked right next to an NYC polling place. All day we had Bernie voters coming in complaining about how their voter registration had been mysteriously deleted, or had been changed back to an old address they had 9 years before, or some ridiculous shit like that. Believe whatever you want, but that election was shady as hell.

            I honestly wasn’t super political before that, I barely knew who Sanders was, so it wasn’t like I had been following the primary election.

              BTW more three times as many people participated in the 2016 DNC primary as the 2012 primary, and about the same number of people as the 2008 primary.
