Laaaaaattteee. We need new leadership. Sorry Obama and Harris. You let AOC, Bernie and Crockett and others actually do the work the last four months. Even Tim Walz got in there first.

Where have yall been? This is why Dems were rudderless. Now that Dems have found some of their footing, NOW the donor class Dems wanna show back up? I voted for both of these people in the past but yeah no miss me with this convenient and corporate shit.

Oh yeah, that also ONLY got vocal AFTER Wall Street starting crashing. Not before. Hard pass on this.

I desperately want Sanders to be part of something unheard of and agree to be a primary campaingers vp very early in the process. He's too old to he elected but still very beloved, especially among moderates.

Bernie got killed among moderate voters in both of his primaries.

The primaries were railroaded against him. Just ask Jim Clyburn or Wasserman-Schulz

No, they weren't. He just did awful among voters outside the youth vote and they barely showed up anyways.

Clyburn endorsing someone else isn't railroading anymore than AOC endorsing Bernie in 2020.

9 years bub, they make up a larger demographic of voters than they did in 2016.

That doesn't negate they weren't a majority in either 2016 or 2020.
