    And will they reward Biden for listening or reinforce the idea that there’s no point trying to please the progressive left by finding some other reason to get upset and not vote?

        I don’t think the progressive left is why Hillary lost. Certainly, people choosing not to vote because she was centrist had an impact, but I don’t think there were really enough “Bernie or bust” folks to be solely responsible. You actually had a higher percentage of Bernie voters going for Hillary in 2016 than you did Hilary voters going for Obama in 2008.

        You had like five different factors and a pretty tight final margin. No one factor was responsible. Comey’s letter, Hilary being center, Russian meddling, online misinformation – all of it is partially but not wholly responsible.

          We told you she wouldn’t win. We’re telling you Biden won’t win.

          Either the libs open their damn eyes, or enjoy the dumbass orange fuhrer for the considerable future…

            Yeah, but Sanders wouldn’t win either.

            He couldn’t even beat Hillary Clinton.

            If it wasn’t for the undemocratic caucuses, he would have lost earlier.

            And before someone says it, it wasn’t “rigged”. Sanders lost by millions of votes.

            The electorate isn’t as progressive as the echo chambers on Lemmy and Reddit are.
