    Listen to the people voting for you, for fuck sake.

    Are you new here, or did you miss when the Democratic party shut down Bernie Sanders twice in a row because he was gaining momentum and they were like “fuck, we can’t have a person who actually cares as President, we might not have as much money!!!”

    Because this is par for the course.

      Not the best comparative argument, since the voting public was quite clear in that regard and the conspiracies claimed were debunked pretty easily.

      I, for example, was someone who voted against him because of his long-standing anti-science stances and his promotion of pseudoscience (such as him personally using his Senate position to host an “alternative medicine” conference).
