Bernie was on the ballot and Biden doubled his vote count.
What ballot? The DNC skipped its primary.
Biden was an incumbent in 2024, but he did recieve 14,465,519 out of 16,610,102 votes cast in primaries
Also I just remembered after my comment that he’s an independent now.
Biden is a DNC and AFAIK Bernie was always and Independent, it's honestly interesting they included Bernie in the DNC Primaries yeah.
Sure, after all the moderate candidates (some of whom were doing much better than Biden) all decided to mysteriously drop out right before Super Tuesday. What a weird confidence, am I right?
By March 5th Biden had already won 5 states, some by over 90% total.
Super Tuesday was March 3rd so that doesn't dispute my point. Biden had won one state prior to Super Tuesday, Bernie had won three.
Sorry I had you confused with another user who was talking about 2024 primary and not 2020..
Before Super Tuesday 2020, Bernie won 2 states and Biden had won 1 states and also Pete Buttigieg won 1, Biden earned 54 delegates from those and Bernie earned 64 while Pete Buttigieg won 26. Buttigieg and others left the race but Bernie stayed in until April where he started falling behind Biden in big races including Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, etc.
Yeah I forgot that Buttigieg got a few more delegates in Iowa. After all the moderates dropped out, Bernie definitely lost momentum and his campaign really should have planned for that kind of move. Warren also staying in the race despite a highly lackluster performance sure didn't help.
Oh, what could have been.
:Looks at what happened to Bernie and the current state of America: How's that working out for you guys?
I would love to hear some constructive criticism from you. As in what people can do about it.
Doomerism is all fine and dandy as long as there's a goal in mind. Otherwise you're just rage masturbating in a corner screaming into the void.

Ok here's some constructive criticism: The 2nd Amendment was made for times like these, what would your grandfathers do if they were your age and the Nazis have successfully invaded Americas highest office? Inaction is action. There's plenty of historical info proving that a complacent centrist majority is required to allow a fascist minority to take power. Your "government" has proven time and time again they serve against your interests, for over half a century, when will it get through to you Americans? You can dig and discuss and follow the data all you want and every time it will lead to billionaires, and every time the conversation stops there for some reason. Perhaps Kamala losing because a population of people voted against genocide is a time for self reflection and reevaluation, not doubling down on the very people who got us here in the first place, I personally still hold a grudge since Obama's approach to the 2008 financial crisis that led us to where we are today. Perhaps we need to stop doing human sacrifices so that miracles can be performed by our God "The Markets," didn't we have a whole Enlightenment Era to get over this very thing? (Looks up the history of America and the late 1700s) And perhaps maybe, just maybe, occupying a sidewalk and leaving politely when ordered to doesn't really make the oligarchs afraid or take us seriously. Perhaps the best approach would be to gather en masse, guns out in the open, outside the gated communities of millionaires and billionaires. It's gonna have to happen sooner or later, but later requires many more to suffer. You can say whatever you want but the world is collectively watching what you (Americans) are doing (or aren't doing).
You're advising armed violent revolt in a country you don't live in?
God forbid Americans, the people yelling all day every day about freedom, use guns for constitutional purposes rather than shooting up schools.
That's not the point. The point is accelerationism from outside our borders is what's fueling a lot of the far right populism. Look at my comment history. I'm not for any of what's going on. I promote an organized resistance to what's currently happening and I do not rule out some form of armed partisanship. However, people who live outside our borders that are vying for armed revolt as the very first step; in a country where they themselves do not live, is frustrating.
If you live outside our borders and would like to help, contribute funds to the DSA, Signal, Internet Archive, SPLC, Trevor Project, OCAD or if you have family that lives within the states you can find mutual aid orgs local to them.

If you live here in the US here's a comment with some helpful resources for organizing.

If anyone has other resources that should be added here let me know. I'm collecting them for helpful documentation to build out local resources for all Americans as we're going to need to present an organized and cohesive front here at home.
Perhaps the Socialist Rifle Association
I couldn't find a direct donation link, however I am a member so I shared that and the caveat of said membership. Thanks for reminding me.
So your opinion is that we should stop holding elections?
Even Bernie Sanders promoted the people who beat him in the primaries, we should have listened to Bernie Sanders and not TikTok.
My opinion is that the DNC should stop fucking over candidates like Sanders and Kennedy.
The DNC you're referring to are millions of American Citizens.
