2 years later and Hedges was right all along. Sanders actively stands in the way of creating a viable opposition to the 2 party state by funneling soc dem support to the democrats. Had he run third party he would have won, and at this point had he quit the democrats and started his own party it would gain lots of traction and create a new and powerful voice in American politics. Fuck Sanders, and anyone who supports the man at this point is a blatant cuckhold.
Reminder that Sanders is the opposition
I agree with all this except for this:
I really don't think think the U.S. govt would ever allow that to happen.
I think 3rd parties get way more votes than are reported and they'll never be reported accurately.
A viable third party wouldn't change the nature of the bourgeois state. Sanders has his uses in dragging people left while sanitizing socialism from years of propaganda, but you're a fool if you consider that any more than a stepping stone.
If that was the case Sanders wouldn't be the go-to punching bag the Dems, their scapegoat for Hillary's loss and there wouldn't be thousands of terrible articles and op-eds blaming him for not sticking together with Democrats.
The idea that he would have won running third party is very questionable, since his popularity was intimately tied to the fact that he used Democrat platforms to speak. Once Clinton dominated those, he'd be second plane either way, and if he had run and both lost Trump, which is the most likely scenario, the narrative that he had split the vote and that third-party candidates always help conservatives would be a lot more credible in the eyes of the general population and would set us back.
Sanders played his cards really well, and instead of complaining that he didn't go out to make inane fantasy scenarios real we should stick to following his lead on the things he got right and discuss the limitations of his model of Socialism.
USA
is that possible? How does voting in USA works?
Sanders is a kike, anyone who trusted him was a fool.
imagine the worst possible voting system. Then imagine it 10 times worse,
Wtf I’m a nazi now
It doesn't.
