If I remember right, super delegates were the main reason Bernie lost the nomination.

That is 100% false. Unfortunately Bernie never got a majority of the ELECTED delegates.

Many Dems actually believe that they are the good guys and aren’t also to blame for the corpo nature of America.

Biden increased the minimum corporate tax rate from 0% to 15%. By following the money (and the tax rates) we cut thru the tired bullshit of vague claims. The best way to achieve clarity is to focus like a laser on what happens with tax rates.

They know things are bad and that the rich are fucking them

Which they 100% enabled.

What part of "“The court would have to basically tell the party that it couldn’t change [the neutrality rule]" did you not understand? They are clearly talking about rules changes here.

Okay but why is the media treating this as more important than every other murder? It's not. That's what people are mad about. If anything, it is less important, since the motivation is something that not a threat to the general public.

So sorry man. Don't let the right wing assholes get to you.

(Gen X voted for Trump at a higher rate than boomers)

That's really sad because the younger someone is the more they are going to be fucked by the long term effects of Donald Trainwreck's enshitification of everything. Nuclear proliferation from the new world disorder, global warming, hyperinflation of the national debt due to gigantic tax cuts for the billionaire elites, hollowing out democracy, normalization of corruption, normalization of routine dishonesty, huge economic inefficiencies that comes with wealth inequality, removal of previous rights like abortion, vast increase in government incompetency, etc

I think you will find Palestinian citizens agree with you on that point.

Yes. And the Israeli hostages.

Killing people who were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time is always wrong.

Fuck the media for treating this murder as super important. This is something that only wealthy elites care about.

When the war was still going on, they probably did celebrate the number of enemy killed.

What a deranged thing to attempt by BCBS.

It was Anthem.

Edit:

My bad. Anthem is BCBS.

If you and others don't like Threads to begin with then why would the "extinguish" part ever work? The people who are already here aren't going to stop just because Threads federates and then later on unfederates.

False analogy. Clinton, Obama, and Biden -- all 3 of the last Dem presidents -- kept their promises to raise taxes on the wealthy and/or corporations.

Realty matters.

DNC lawyers argued in Sanders vs DNC that they are under no obligation to follow any rules.

Nope. The argued they could change their own charter. It's like the Constitution. The USA can change its own constitution but it sill has the right to follow it.

[From the transcript: "The court would have to basically tell the party that it couldn't change [the neutrality rule], even though it's a discretionary rule that it didn't need to adopt to begin with." - DNC attorney Bruce Spiva]

Dude your own link contradicts what you said. My quote proved it.

Maybe the reason why Harris lost is because people didn't understand they were screwing themselves and not Harris by not voting for Harris. The media ALWAYS buries the important stuff, so that their billionaire owners can score gigantic GOP tax cuts for the rich. That's why you have to work extra hard to know what is really going on.

The problem is that you thought the media was going to tell you the important stuff. They don't do that because they serve the wealthy elites, not you.

why the compulsive need to downplay the severity of this?

Why was the severity of Treason Trump's pardon of the much more serious crimes of Blogorovich downplayed?

Why do YOU care more about this pardon than you cared about the much worse pardon of Blogorovich?

Maybe in order to know the answer of your question you need to know the answer to my question. The reason why others are less outraged than you is they see that your outrage is selective.

YOUR lack of outrage about the the way more serious Bogorovich pardon is way worse than my lack of outrage about this.

Critics seemed determined to paint him as a villain early on, before any lines were even crossed.

WTF Dude Treason Trump blatently crossed so many lines. Trying to overturn the will of the voters IS LITERALLY THE MOST UNAMERICAN THING ANY POLICITIAN CAN EVER DO.

He questioned the election,

He did way more than that. He tried to bully people into overturning the will of the voters. Every single day from the election day in 2020 to Jan 6.

Here are 164 pages of details about those crimes.

Who knows if Hunter forced Biden to pardon him or else he’ll reveal damaging information.

Literally every one in the world knows that he did not, except for you.

“Both sides” is always applicable.

Nope. "Both dies" are rarely ever equivelent.

Democrats caused serious harm to democracy when they attempted to install Harris after they bullied Biden to step down

Nope not in the slightest. (1) Biden stepped down on his own. Presidents cannot be bullied. (2) The only Dems who "installed Harris" are the elected delegates who did the exact jobs there were elected to do. (3) There was not "hard to democracy" because everything went according to pre-established laws. Treason Trump tried to subvert and overthrow our laws.
