The Pennsylvania Democrat recalled his time serving as a Hillary Clinton surrogate in 2016, even after he supported Bernie Sanders in the primary.

    The DNC didn’t “fuck over” Bernie. He lost. I voted for him in the primary, and would have loved to see him win the nomination. But he didn’t, so I voted for the next best thing (and, you know, the non-fascist).

      Except he didnt lose. Clyburn endorsed Biden and then everyone suddenly dropped out. Obama went on a smug, shit-eating Bernie bashing tour, proving that he was never anything more than a conservative plant.

      As someone else said, soft Rs are not a reasonable option versus hard Rs.

        My understanding was that people are referring to his primary loss against Hillary when they blame the DNC for his loss. But, to be clear, you’re talking about his primary loss to Biden?

          You mean when he was far ahead of Biden in the polls?..when he won Iowa but Buttegieg declared victory there prematurely for some reason?

          Yes. That one also

      That’s some revisionist history. Some of us still remember Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
