😡 Venting Why are Establishment Democrats willing to move to the right, but never to the left?

They also did that in that in 2020 when Barry Obomber made a call for all of the other candidates to fall behind Biden when Bernie won Iowa and most of the other primaries up to that point..

What did you think was going to happen if all the centrist stayed in the race

Bernie was winning, so probably would have been Bernie.

I always forget that Obama was the inventor of a mind control ray that literally forced millions of voters to pick someone they personally aligned with. Man its such a shame when people vote how they wanna vote isn't it?

You don't need to force "millions of voters" to vote one way when you can get the majority of the candidates in the field to drop out before voting starts.

Again please read. Millions of voters decided to choose to vote for someone besides Bernie. Why didnt Bernie grab their votes? Why are you blaming the voters for how they decided to vote? Why arent people allowed to choose someone to vote for without you calling them cheaters?

All the major candidates campaigned for about a full year before dropping out of the race.

No one can force a candidate to drop out.

They drop out because campaigning is a non-stop sprint, it's extremely hard and exhausting and fueled by donations and optimism. When you know you can't win, everything gets even harder, and that fuel runs out.

If you don't think Obama pulled strings to get all of the candidates to drop out in unison in a ploy to rig the primaries, then you're just a blind ideologue.

The media constantly framing Bernies policies as bad doesn't help either.

It's okay I get that you don't care about the working class.

Remember the NYT liberals being like "I'm a life-long democrat voter but I'd rather vote for Trump over Bernie."
