While I do think we know there’s some truth to all that, it’s clear voting matters otherwise the Republican party wouldn’t be trying to rig it every fucking chance they get, and the DNC wouldn’t have been going so apeshit over Bernie in 2016. He threatened the establishment and they had to attack their own constituents and call them Bernie bros to get things back “on track”.
It’s not so black and white. There’s Democrat politicians who range from zero to one as controlled opposition, and as supporters of the establishment and the status quo. People are more complex than that. They have their own goals and some of them did not join politics just to make a buck, and some of them are just plain cowards or are too far separated from their constituents to realize what they want because they’re just surrounded by rich powerful fucks who don’t buy groceries.
I disagree that Bernie wasn’t given a fair shot. He was invited to participate in the DNC primary, despite his third party status, and lost by millions to Hillary, and again when Biden doubled Bernies votes. Both times Bernie lost he asked us to vote for the winner. I think a lot of such sentiment was drummed up by foreign interference in order to create discord and aid the conservatives.
