  • That really comes down to if you are a progressive or a neoliberal.

    I think people just don’t like critiquing Bernie

    In 2015 Bernie Sanders had the biggest grassroots campaign in US history, with more individual doners than any canidate ever. From the perspective of anyone under 30 he was going to easily sweep Trump before he dropped out.

    Bernie was asked by the DNC to drop out of the race and asked his supporters to vote for Hillary Clinton, most of his supporters absolutely hate Hillary Clinton so they didn’t vote for her and then Trump won his first election.

    The Neoliberals blame the Progressives, and the Progressives blame the Neoliberals.

    But IMO at the end of the day it was the Neoliberal canidate that lost to Donald Trump, so it’s their fault. The Neoliberals knew their policies were unpopular and decided to try to bait and then guilt progressives into voting for them. You can see some are still committed to guilting leftists into supporting right wing Neoliberals.
