-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

MODERATORS
It’s eternal 2016.
The black populations that vote are highly entrenched in the Democratic patronage machine. They are machine democrats. They will always vote establishment. Did you not learn this in 2016 and 2020 when Bernie got crushed in the south for this reason?
No they are not dumb. They are entrenched in a political machine protecting their own interests. Also, most black people - like most people in general- do not vote at all. Those that do vote tend to be entrenched.
What’s your explanation for why black voting blocs overwhelmingly favor centrist establishment candidates? Biden crushed Bernie on Super Tuesday without even having to spend any time or money on the south, they just defaulted to the center. You really think the DNC rigged the vote?
Seems like you are just pissed that black people don’t vote progressive and are shooting the messenger instead of investigating why. Yes, of course, they actually are progressive and the entire primary process is rigged to the point of lying and changing millions of votes and I’m just a racist for analyzing why we lost.
I actually do think the 2020 primary may have been rigged, there were consistent anti-Bernie discrepancies in electronic voting machine districts

this is not meant as a rebuttal to the rest of your analysis, just throwing it in because you mentioned it
It was rigged in that all of the establishment forces conspired against Bernie and there was some shenanigans at the Iowa caucuses, it was not outright rigged in terms of faked votes on Super Tuesday all throughout the south
“Shenanigans” is putting it mildly. In 2016, Clinton won Iowa with 700 SDEs to Sanders’s 697. And then in 2020, Buttigieg won with 563 to Sanders’s 562. Democrats torched the Iowa caucuses forever to stop him. I’m not arguing for legitimacy of the above source, but you need only look to the extreme examples of blatant ratfuckery. From tossed ballots, polls closing early, and to the single polling location for college towns in Michigan. Clinton couldn’t win every county in MI in ‘08 with only her on the ballot, but Biden did in ‘20 even though Bernie won several major cities. I agree that the Dems overdid that one.
The DNC argued in court that’s it’s their right to pick the nominee no matter what. It should be a lesson to leftists that all liberals, even the most ☝️🤓 for rules, fairness, and traditions, will tear everything down and stop at nothing to combat the remotest of existential threats.
