      I wont lie, i was a bernie or bust dude. I wanted trump to win for the choas it would bring hoping the left would learn their lesson. I also hated Hillary Clinton, i was convinced she would start ww3. Idk how to think if i were right or wrong. But so much terrible shit has happened after trump, was it all going to happen anyways… i just dont know i think people should live regret free, i didnt vote so that doesnt apply as much, but i sure talked up trump for like the first year of him in office. 🤮🤮🤮

      I thought trump was gonna drain the an swamp. But nooooooooo.

        When you “drain the swamp” what is left is all of the muck and mud at the bottom of it.

        Why did the weaker candidate get the most votes? Because people like Nancy Polosie have money on the other horse.

        Right when the campaign season kicked off, the primary season, I mean, the New York Time published a few heat maps showing where each candidate’s donations were coming from within the country.

        Bernie was getting so many small donations from so many people from everywhere, that basically the entire map was covered with Bernie donors.

        In order to even see the concentrations other candidate’s donoros–voters kicking in for Kamala from California, that lady from Minnesota, Biden’s support base in Maryland, you had the Pete squad in Ohio, and a couple of others with their dedicated bases from their hometowns or whatever–the NYT had to completely eliminate Bernie from the heat map.

        And the rest of the article was not about how Bernie was the frontrunner and had the largest base of support of any candidate in history, had received more small donations and more unique donors than any candidate in history, how he had 90%+ approval ratings of voters that knew him, no.

        It was shit like that that cost Bernie the primary. The media unanimously declaring that he was not winning, even as he was winning. In order to finally strike him down, they had to get all the power players to broker a deal where Biden would become the candidate and the other leaders would all step down in order to beat Bernie.
