If you want me to come up with a reason why the person who receives millions more votes should become the representative then clearly you oppose democracy and idgaf about your opinion on anything.
Popular vote: HRC: 16,917,853 Bernie: 13,210,550
Percentage: 55.2%, 43.1%
Weāve been discussing how Bernie lost the popular vote this entire time. It was a brutal defeat where he was 2 digit percent margin. Even worse, in 2020 he lost to Joseph Biden when Biden literally doubled his vote.
Bro itās fucking exhausting how many progressive spaces refuse to admit that Bernie didnāt fucking get the votes to be the nominee. By like, a landslide.
I do think that in hindsight Clinton should have made him her VP choice though.
Where have people refused to admit that? My point was that the superdelegate system is unfair, because it gives the party favorite a huge advantage before anyone has even voted. Regardless of whether Iām for or against the party favorite, Iām against the superdelegate system.
The party insiders favored the person who has always been in the party, over someone who joined that year? Cmon man.
Bernie could have fixed this at any time, by actually joining the Democratic Party. He didnāt.
Bernie lost by MILLIONS of actual votes. Not super delegates. Actual votes.
Life aināt fair. Just because itās not fair, doesnāt mean people should sit at fucking home and sulk and not try and get something done instead of nothing.
If it doesnāt matter, then why not just make it fair?

Being chosen by the people is what is fair.
Isnāt that the popular vote?..

Thanks. Not American so not very knowledgeable but appreciate the clarification.
There is a concerted effort to keep everyone in the dark about this, including Americans, so itās totally understandable.
