    Meant to reply to where you said

    Bernie Sanders supporters are a small minority of the Democratic party. The overwhelming majority are centrists.

    Which is not true when you look at policy support

      Policy support is irrelevant. Voters have no clue what policies or proposals are out there. Most Republican voters support liberal policies when the policy is presented to them without a politician or political party attached to it. Doesn’t matter.

        Dude you’re fighting an uphill battle in this echo chamber. These guys simply don’t live in reality.

          I know. But it’s a nice break coming from reddit bashing bigots and fascists, now I can come here and bash tankies and edgelords until I get sick of it again.

            I got perma banned from Reddit, now I’m here. Somehow, this place is even more tankie than that place. It seems like any forum is either Marxist Bernie Bro Echo Chamber or a Racist MAGAT one.

            I’m solidly on the left as a liberal, but it seems like neither side knows how civics or federal politics works.

            Unironically, these guys are more performative than the Dems they bash 😂

              Did they recently permaban you too with no explanation? I suspect it’s the new upvote monitoring system deciding I liked Luigi a little too much. Figured I’d show up here for a bit and jeer at the tankies until I got bored and made a new reddit account.
