According to the polls it was the economy that motivated voters the most and dems lost voters because of high inflation during Bidens term causing voters to think it was Bidens policies causing inflation.
Republican ads specifically blamed Bidens ‘progressive radically leftist’ policies.
But they didn’t do ranked choice. So for most of the primary it was Clinton VS Sanders. So we don’t know who would’ve won in ranked choice if all the other candidates stayed in. We only know that Sanders didn’t get as many votes as Clinton.

The majority of voters in America are moderate, not far right or left. For all the candidates to support the person with the best chances of winning is called strategy. For you to claim that the DNC made that decision for each candidate is a conspiracy theory.
I don’t see how the decisions of each individual candidate would be considered a decision of the DNC.
Interesting read. I was hoping for evidence though instead of anecdote. Also, I don’t see how it supports this claim:
Because the DNC put their thumbs on the scales and did everything they could to lock him out of the process while doing the opposite for Clinton.
It was a calculated decision to win the election and Biden won the election. It was a decision made by the individual candidates. Not the DNC.
I would vote for Bernie but America has more moderate voters than far left or far right. That needs to be considered when deciding the next candidate.
I would like for them to be doing better than this also but if the person I responded to based their argument on the false claim that democrats are losing all the elections then they have already lost their credibility and are arguing in bad faith. So it is reasonable to expect for a source for their other claims.
Half of the comment you responded to looks like it is in a different language. So you claiming the answer to my question is obvious looks like you’re dodging my question.
Wow I’ve never heard that. Do you have a source where I can verify?
The way I remember it Bernie didn’t have enough votes before everyone dropped out.
If you voted against facists then why are you acting like he is talking about you?
Because the DNC put their thumbs on the scales and did everything they could to lock him out of the process while doing the opposite for Clinton.
Source? The way I remember it Bernie didn’t get enough votes.
If the chosen, status quo DNC candidates are so popular, why do they keep losing or nearly losing all their elections?
Out of the last 5 elections they won 3.
If people won’t vote in their own best interest we get facsism.
“How could democrats do this to us?”
-“Leftists” on lemmy
More like claiming that democrats lost the election because they weren’t far enough left when the polls say it was because of inflation.
Why? Because there aren’t as many leftist as lemmy would make you think.
Considering the fact that it is part of Russias strategy to polarize American politics to extremes so we can’t get anything done, and I dont see any of the leftists opinions from lemmy irl. I think most of it is being pushed by foreign actors.

And when cities get revenue from traffic violations, traffic violations go up. Funny how that works.
“video mirroring a study”
Lmao
At the start of the invasion Russia was claiming they finally had hypersonic nuclear missles. Meaning they could get nukes past defense systems. That is the reason the US was hesitant to let things escalate.
Since then we’ve found out that Russias hypersonic missles had some misfires and still didn’t have the ability to steer at hypersonic speeds if I remember right.
That plus the fact that Trump is months away from helping Russia changes the strategy.
