What?
Maybe if she had been less civil with the right-wing maybe she would have won

For me it was a slow burn. After Trump won in 2016 I expected the Dems (and their equivalent in other western countries) to get serious about opposing the right. Clearly there was no time to be dicking around playing nice with fascists.
But they didn’t get serious, they continued business as usual, they were more concerned with civility than helping people. They were so weak at protecting people from the wrath of republican policy. As I became more and more annoyed with liberals being nice to the devil, I found the dirtbag left and breadtube (feel free to mock me) and was relieved to find places where people at least had the gall to at least provide a real vocal resistance to the right other than “Trump says uncouth things sometimes and has tiny hands.” It was so dire that people saying “Yo fuck these assholes and here’s the material reasons why.” Was a breath of fresh air.
Then the 2020 primaries rolled on by and it looked like Bernie was going to be a decent response to the facism boiling up. He was the compromise. He was still part of the system, but at least he wanted to provide things that would actually materially help people, like healthcare, education and taxing the wealthy oligarchs. He was popular, his policies would improve lives and show people that socialism can work. He was winning in polls, and then the entire Dem party joined together to make sure that didn’t happen. We got Joe fucking Biden instead and four more years of neoliberal capitalism driving people to the far-right. Corbyn in the UK had been ratfucked in a similar way by the neoliberals earlier, being branded an anti-Semite for addressing Israels colonialism. So for me the it became clear that there is no way the current system will ever let good things happen. They will continue to drag the world towards economic and ecological collapse and will do anything to keep it that way. They do not play fair and they have all the power.
And then COVID happened and they let millions die to make sure the oligarchs stayed rich, any illusion that the powers that be have a soul and can be swayed by reason dissolved. The rulers of the west are sick, brainwashed and heading to an early grave and nothing will convince them to change. There is no reason with people that can allow what happened to happen.
That was the the thing that got me fully radicalised I think.
What do you U mean it doesn’t add up?
People are been pretty vocal about not liking either party
Bro you could have said that 4 years ago Bernster
