Serving their Russian masters

They went soft during reconstruction. Not fixing the southern problem then has allowed that racism and bullshit to fester for another century and the billionaires were able to harness that hatred for their own means.

And you think the media often purposely not even showing Bernie as a candidate despite being top 3 the entire cycle, often first, didn't play into that?

Stop making excuses. Just because you were too blind to see the manipulation doesn't mean the rest of us were

Their Oligarchic stability isn't sustainable.

once again using the results of ratfucking to justify the ratfucking.

Also, you're assigning shit to me I never said nor insinuated. Pointing out the very obvious public motions these elites are already taking to try to ruin the chances of an actual progressive winning, is not "looking for enemies". They were never hiding their actions. We don't have to go looking.

You're acting like people ratfucking the primary is fine because the entrenched group of elites had a stranglehold on the process and were able to do it better. You're "ends justify the means" bullshit doesn't fly.

And Warren obviously threw in with the establishment, so why would she do a deal with Bernie?

People are bringing it up BECAUSE the establishment Dems are clearly GOING TO DO IT AGAIN. Holy shit pay attention

Because First past the post does not allow for that to happen at the pace it naturally requires. All it does it allow the even worse result to happen

Lol, wrong.

They learned in the media to not even mention him as a candidate half the time, despite consistently being in the top 3.

Then after Bernie won several early primary states, the entire rest of the Democratic candidate pool orchestrated dropping out at the same time to back the guy who hadn't broken 5th place yet, except Warren to split the progressive vote, to manufacture consent for backing Biden.

This might actually work against him. He'll split the scumbag vote with Adams.

You think they'll wait until after the election?

Everything sounds vague if you only read the headline about it, and not the actual law

Establishment Dems have been tracking right for decades. Clinton was a blue dog Democrat. Obama initially presented as more left, but ultimately didn't govern that way.
