The Pennsylvania Democrat recalled his time serving as a Hillary Clinton surrogate in 2016, even after he supported Bernie Sanders in the primary.

The time for that vote is in the primaries. THAT'S when you make your stand, have your protest, and try to move the party left. Otherwise you are ignoring someone that you agree with 50% of the time and helping someone you agree with 0% of the time.

Who's our primary choice against Biden? Remember when the DnC fucked Bernie?

The choice between a soft R vs a hard R is hardly a choice.

The DNC didn't "fuck over" Bernie. He lost. I voted for him in the primary, and would have loved to see him win the nomination. But he didn't, so I voted for the next best thing (and, you know, the non-fascist).

That's some revisionist history. Some of us still remember Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

These responses were referring to the 2020 election. Wasserman Schultz hasn't been DNC chair since 2016.

Move the party left? Unless you have the ability to own our own politicians, there is no 'move the party left'
