Of course the DNC rigged it - they wanted to weed out the man who said he wasn't a democrat trying to hijack the party's nomination. A lame duck is a elected official who has a new successor, you didn't use it correctly. But I agree with everything you said beside that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emvee 8,831 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 People in here still supporting party politics and not realizing that it is not what the majority of Americans want Bernie Sanders would have won regardless of whether or not his policies could be funded. They are populist policies. Believe me. It's not a coincidence that now there is movement towards single-payer and tuition-free College. Two of the most obvious policies that we need to enact besides taking money out of politics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Nook 37,820 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Even if Hillary won the popular vote, Bernie would've at least had an edge in the electoral college especially since most millennials were inclined to vote for him, and then opted out with Hillary was the nominee.

First off it's just my opinion I'm not trying to state facts I'm just expressing my point of view from what I've experienced Regardless Hillary was not wide appeal amongst youth she had trouble trying to get their vote after Bernie was dropped. Plus Millenials often lean left anyways, both Romney and Trump struggled to get that vote. http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/presidential-campaign/299550-hillary-clintons-millennial-problem-runs-deep https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/06/20/more-young-people-voted-for-bernie-sanders-than-trump-and-clinton-combined-by-a-lot/?utm_term=.173891cf68c9 https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2016/11/dissecting-the-youth-vote/507416/ http://www.npr.org/2016/11/14/501727488/millennials-just-didnt-love-hillary-clinton-the-way-they-loved-barack-obama https://www.forbes.com/forbes/welcome/?toURL=https://www.forbes.com/sites/aviksaroy/2016/11/09/a-big-part-of-hillarys-defeat-she-alienated-millennial-voters/&refURL=https://www.google.com/&referrer=https://www.google.com/ Uh Red Wine...

This is what really tuned me against him over time I still love the guy as a person and he's a great senator but his policies were far too optimistic while Hillary was aiming for the same goals but with more realistic and pragmatic policies that could've actually been implemented. Hillary was the better candidate. Just because a certain portion of voters couldn't see that doesn't make it not true Don't vote with your feelings, people. Vote with your brains. Voting with your feelings is what gets us people like Trump Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of the most obvious policies that we need to enact besides taking money out of politics. Party politics is what got Trump elected. Party Politics is what will probably get him re-elected if you don't realize that we've got a lot of problems going into 2020. There is a movement to tuition free college because the Democratic party has become aware that what their constituents want. Bernie ran as a Democrat even though he was not a Democrat probably his entire career. He knows how important it is.

PoshLife 17,019 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 10 hours ago, Gaga Monster said: Bernie is the most popular politician in the entire country. His approval rating is higher than any politician in America. I highly doubt the polling was inaccurate since polling is almost always accurate Hillary was the most popular politician for quite a while during her time as Secretary of State (consistently over 60% approval rating and consistently higher than President Obama's) while Bernie was sitting in the Senate not getting any bills passed, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also Hillary got more votes during the entire primary process than anyone else running on either side, including beating Bernie in the Democratic primary. So again, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also the polling was notoriously inaccurate during this election, as demonstrated by the fact that Trump won on Election Day. I'm not sure how you missed all the stories about "what polling got wrong this year," but it's something you may want to look into to fill in some of the gaps here.
