    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…

      Ah, you must be a “progressive” who cares more about being right and owning the libs than actually advancing a progressive agenda. I much prefer prioritizing progressive goals and making progress towards them. This UN resolution is a step, and Netanyahu’s petulant reaction to it only makes it more likely that we take more right steps in the future. I’ll continue to celebrate those and hope Biden moves in the right direction, instead of scoffing about “how I was right” in 2016.

      And for that matter, I seem to recall a lot of “progressives” saying Biden would lose in 2020 and Democrats would be destroyed in 2022 – yet, i don’t see you mentioning those predictions. You’ve only got 1 out of 3 right there. I’m sure however in 2026, regardless of how this year goes, you’ll still mention how you were right about 2016, won’t you?

      Hillary still got the popular vote, it’s gerrymandering and voter suppression bullshit that caused the loss more than anything

      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.
