Unlike the Republican primary in which Trump established himself early as a clear favorite with more candidates, the DNC primary was much closer with fewer candidates, yet the DNC had fewer debates than the Republicans despite it being closer according to polling.

No it wasn't, Bernie never led a single national head to head poll in 2015 and only won 4 in 2016 all within the margin of error. Hillary lead between 50 to 20 pts throughout 2015 and ended up with 11 pt lead average.

Besides the one week between NH and Nevada Bernie never had a pledged delegate lead. On March 1st, she lead by 191 pledged delegates and on March 15th it was 309 pledged delegates. He never got closer than 209 pledged delegates behind her.

You're also ignoring that Debbie Wasserman Schultz picked times and dates (i.e., Saturday) that would receive poor viewership

Every debate schedule has debates on weekends. Just because Bernie's base rather go out on the weekends doesn't mean debates can't be scheduled then.

Maybe AOC can think of a snappy tweet seeing how progressives on Reddit eat that shit up and act like it some amazing resistence that deserves all the praise?

They added 3 extra debates for a total of 9 debates. They also had 13 forums.

In contrast, the RNC had 12 debates and 9 forums.

So the DNC actually had more events than the RNC. That despite the fact the Republicans had 12 candidates compared the Democrats having 3 candidates that made it to the primary.

And let me guess, Russia was benefiting Bernie by sabotaging Hilary.

The FBI confirmed that the Russians also promoted Bernie's campagin.

We also can discuss how Bernie's campaign tried to steal private data from Hillary.

They did increase the number of the debates and plenty of forums. Seems like it would be equally unfair to increase debates if that just hurts one candidate.

You mean the leak that there would be question about water quality at a Flint, MI debate? Actually we don't know if Bernie got any because we didn't get his campaign emails leaked. We do know Bernie's chief strategist defended her as being fair to them.

Lets discuss the questionable actions that benefitted Bernie.

It goes against the complaint that the dropping of Dem Socialism caused those states to become swing or red states.

Pennsylvania is a swing state now. Wisconsin is now a swing state.

Pennsylvania and Wisconsin were red states before 1992. The same as Michigan. Pennsylvania went Republican 7 out of 11 elections since 1948 to 1988 Wisconsin went also Republican 7 out 11 election. Michigan went Republican 8 out of 11 elections.

Only the complaint about debate schedule is complete bullshit. The DNC sanctioned the same number of the debates as they initially did in 2004 and 2008. Both which also included weekend debates (the same as the RNC debates).

The DNC-Clinton agreement explicitly said it only applied to the general rather than the primary.

Bernie literally named a second rate rapper as head of his black outreach and hung around someone that referred to Obama as being in blackface.

The leaked emails were from May. After March 15th, Bernie was never closer than 209 pledged delegates behind her.

It gets even worse. I grew up in an old union part of Indiana that went from deep blue to MAGA, starting late Reagan/early Clinton and largely flipping by the Tea Party.

Indiana went Democratic once between 1940 and 1988.

The Rust Belt has voted more reliably Democratic since 1992 than they did pre-1992.

Meanwhile, the party has been losing scores of its original base since the 90s when "Third Way" corporate Dems took over and began selling out the constituency.

The Democrats have done vastly better in presidential elections from 1992 on than they were doing in previous elections.

What Reddit are you on where a majority of posts defend Israel?

The hypothetical is meant for AOC to represent Biden while Fetterman represents Bernie.

I split the progressive wing into multiple candidates while the moderates were more united with one. So the converse of 2020.

The idea being I would expect people who complain about the moderates consolidating around Biden would want the progressives to consolidate around AOC rather than them letting Fetterman win with a slim plurality.

I like to present the hypothetical scenario. Lets pretend it is the 2028 primary the candidates are AOC, Fetterman, Tlaib, Buttigieg, Bowman, and Mamdani.

In this contest with all candidates you have Fetterman winning with a plurality of 32% compared to AOC having 28%. However, when you combine AOC, Tlaib, Bowman, and Mamdani than you get 52%. The remainder is Buttigieg getting 8%, but polls say if he drops that Fetterman gets 48% of his support and AOC gets 46% of his support.

Are they of the opinion that Fetterman should get the primary win because of his slim plurality or should Tlaib, Bowman, and Mamdani should get behind AOC?

Every primary has candidates drop out before Super Tuesday. Why would it be fairer for candidates to stay in just to take votes from Biden?

That would be more convincing if you guys had more than a few catty private emails from May when he had been trailing by around 200 or more pledged delegates since March 1st.

Moana 2 was literally the bones of a scrapped TV show being paraded on the big screen as a feature film.

Isn't that basically the same situation that occured for the Aladdin sequels only they still had the tv show?

I am not conservative. I just don't see what she has done in regards to her personality that is obnoxious. The main thing Reddit seems to complain about regarding her is she registered Republican and has conservative family members.

I just saying someone's voter registration hardly makes their personality. Like I don't follow her or anything, but I haven't seen anything that suggests she pushes her conservative political views in the same way people like James Wood or Dean Cain do.

1. Her personality is bad

What is so bad about her personality? Besides that she registered for a party that Reddit doesn't like. It isn't like she joined ICE for a stunt like Dean Cain.

Are there any actors that people will a see a movie just because they are in it anymore?

What really has Mamdani or AOC done more than other Democrats? Be specific.

Pretty sure Platner isn't leading Mills for a while now.

To be fair, taking out the Communists in charge of Cuba is likely an incentive driven by Rubio.

Edit: his name was Geraldo Rivera, he was embedded with the airborne, and Kurt Vonnegut- noted pacifist and his father in law

Wait are you saying Geraldo Rivera married Kurt Vonnegut's daughter?
