          Democrats did exactly the same to Bernie in 2016. Leaked emails confirm that the DNC actively conspired against Sanders.

          And then Hillary was such a bad candidate that Trump won. Thank the DNC for that one.

            Similar deal here in the UK with Corbyn, except he was already leader of the party. Destroyed by his own kind. Most politicians accept that the only way into office is to gain control of an existing party. I’m glad for Americans that Bernie Sanders still seems to have some mainstream credibility. Jeremy Corbyn was attacked so hard from all vested interests on all fronts that he has almost become a tragic meme, despite how exceptional he was/is as a figurehead.

        Yeah, it’s a big reason why I think civil disobedience is making a comeback.

        People are realizing the government doesn’t exist for them; it exists for the ruling class. That’s not how it should work and we don’t have to play by the rules they make for us.
