    Just the stuff that’s in there is shocking, how the fuck are they this incompetent at running a campaign?

    The writer isn’t great, their conclusion on why they lost in 2016 was that Hillary didn’t win the primary quickly enough, but even they can see “polling to see what your voters want and then doing what your potential voters are telling you to do” is basic campaigning.

      Translation from Shitlib to English: Bernie didn’t submit to the dictates of the party leadership quickly enough.

      even they can see “polling to see what your voters want and then doing what your potential voters are telling you to do” is basic campaigning.

      Except they still refuse to ACT on that knowledge, opting in stead to do the bidding of their owner donors (including AIPAC) and whatever Schumer imagines the clearly Republican Baileys would want.

        They could at least lie to the voters, tell us you’ll do free heathcare/college, throw Trump in prison, and stop giving Israel weapons/money.

      They’re not incompetent (well they’re that too, but not just incompetent); they’re also controlled opposition. What you see here is their job.

      Look they are just worried that if they speak the truth then they are going have their snouts removed from that sweet Israeli cash trough. They got a nice grift going and they don’t want to lose it.

      I have no idea how western countries are going extricate themselves from this nonsense given all politicians seem to be bound by it. I’m in Australia and we literally implemented anti-semitism laws that are almost exclusively used to silence anti-Israel stances in the public discourse.

      At this point it’s more reasonable to consider all Israelis war criminals unless they can prove otherwise, just like they seem to be doing to Iranians. Will our government apply the same rules on Israel as it does to Iranians? Doubtful.
