People vote, not land.

Biden doubled Bernie's votes in the 2020 primaries. Which Bernie was a part of because the DNC chose him to participate in.

Bernie was clearly ahead until the DNC gave all the other candidates marching orders to drop out and endorse a senile old man in severe cognitive decline to prevent any movement to the left that would threaten the legalized bribery the democratic party grows fat on.we could have had FDR 2.0 instead we got reagan and nixon’s bastard love child a second time because biden was such a sad excuse of an incoherent puppet he made jimmy carter look good and even as though a second carter administration would have been preferable.

Oh so you're saying more people voted for Biden because Biden convinced more people to vote for him?

What a travesty! Its too bad we didn't...

What is it you're suggesting...

Utilize Spoiler Candidates to shift the election in your favor?

Everything in our political system is blatantly corrupted by money. The study princeton did a while back showed that the amount of influence one has on any piece of legislation is directly related to how much wealth you have with regular working class people having a statistically irrelevant near zero influence on any policy regardless of how popular or unpopular it may be.

It is extremely naive to believe that a group of sociopaths who believe as though their wealth grants them divine provenance to manipulate society as they see fit with total impunity would for some reason see our election system as too sacred to exert the same influence upon.

In Germany the supreme court decided that electronic voting is unconstitutional because it is impossible to differentiate between legitimate results and fraudulent ones for anyone who isnt a cybersecurity/ IT expert and that is the reality, people with money are willing to do anything to manipulate whatever benefits them and do not give a shit about anything we believe they should.

The DNC was responsible for the policy that removed money from politics until the conservative stacked SCOTUS overturned it in 2010. The DNC have reversing Citizens United as a core platform stance.

We need to get 60 DNC Senators in there, or we simply need to remove conservatives to less than 40, both GOP and conservative IND, and we will see real progress. We haven't had more than 50 in over 12 years, we havent given the DNC supermajority without caucus since 1979.

Do you even know how or why that happened? Or just that it happened? If you dont then you cant talk about it.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world -4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Because Biden and Obama convinced more people to check his name on the ballots.

[–] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Yeah no. Decent to low effort try though.

Yes. That's why the dems lost.

Biden literally won the 2020 General Election by one of the largest margins ever.
