    Hillary Clinton won 16,914,722 votes to Bernie Sanders’ 13,206,428 votes in the 2016 primaries. It was a long very even race with no clear winner until June.

    The DNC on Palestine was controversial, but they pursued lasting peace, and conversely the GOP admin is backing a single state solution and immediately shipped weapons that the Biden admin was withholding.

    A minority of the DNC led by the old guard voted on the REPUBLICAN resolution to continue the federal government, written by REPUBLICANS. The alternative would be a congressional recess and end of paychecks to federal workers across the board, which I admit would have been better, but both options were shit. In a two party system, the DNC deserve our full support in the face of this awful GOP bill and the GOP budget which is soon to follow. The GOP writing shit bills and holding the government hostage is not a negative on the DNC.

    The sooner the left abandons the DNC, the sooner this country falls into incompetent autocracy and the entire world falls into era of war and oppression.

      Open your eyes buddy; we’re already there and the DNC is just protecting their donors while continuing to shit on the working class. Protecting GOP privatisation of the government and oppressive autocracy prevention is moot, especially after the US spent the majority of its reign as the world premiere superpower inducing those same exact policies on Latin American and Southeast Asian countries .

        Open your eyes buddy; you’re empowering the GOP in their attempts to destroy the US Democracy by even sharing an opinion which contradicts the reality directly in front of your face. As millions of people have done before you, slowling pushing us into this grinder we’re in.

          Shaming me for disagreeing with you is wasting both of our time. Left and right is just a distraction from the class war and you’re making broad generalizations to soothe your anxiety and resentment towards perceived inaction.
