Don’t know, but americans on lemmy will explain
We dont know!
They don’t know.
My bad. Carry on.
I’d give my life savings to see this from Sanders. Of course, then we’d lose him, so it would have to be part of his retirement announcement.
it would be about as democratic but atleast this way the processes would be more honest and transparent

Once again I would watch this celebrity death match
I love celebrity death match, it was so ridiculous! Still have a copy of the game
There was a game? Could you PM me? I’d like an
copyhonest review.
This one, and Kai Winn vs Delores Umbridge. I honestly want to see the second scenario more than the first, but that’s just because I’m firmly convinced that Kai Winn would, “My Child,” Umbridge into defeating herself.
Here’s how Bernie can still win
So original
Every depressing political moment gets healed with a bernie meme.
Wish he had another chance so baaad :'/We’d just be disappointed again. The right would hate him more than Hillary and corporatist Dems still control the DNC. They wouldn’t let him win.
OTOH a common opinion I hear is that he probably has more capability for direct lasting change being where he is, and I can see that being true, so there is that bit of small comfort.
True, but that is only bittersweet comfort to me
Get out of my head!
Non-American here, is it too late for him to be the Democrat candidate in the upcoming election?
Our Democrats would never let him win, and that’s before you even get to the Republicans. Republican heads might actually explode if we elected a progressive who dared to call themselves a Democratic Socialist.
Meanwhile, Democrats are also crushed under the thumb of all the money big business pours into
briberylobbying, and they have already made it clear twice that they won’t let him get on the ballot.We’ll never get progressive policies or a progressive president unless the progressives infiltrate D to the extent maga has infiltrated R.
Good FSM, I wish. It’s not technically impossible, just functionally, and systemically, impossible.
I doubt Bernie himself will but technically it’s not too late. The Democratic national convention hasn’t happened yet and after the debate there’s been a renewed push to pick someone else
Technically no, but it’ll never happen.
The way the parties nominate candidates for president is an absolute mess, but the nominations aren’t official until the parties hold a closed convention with delegates who vote for candidates to be the nominee. Back in the day these delegates used to actually be the people who decided who got nominated. These days they’re more like a ceremonial role, with a lot of them (I think) being required to vote in line with the way people voted in their state’s primary.
Anyway, I’d have to look it up to be 100% sure, but I’m pretty sure enough delegates have some kind of autonomy that it’s possible they could nominate someone other than Biden. Who they would end up agreeing on…? Heck if I know.
Yeah. Supreme court ruled that political parties post-2016 are private clubs that can do whatever the fuck they want (Supreme Courts ruling on DNC’s ratfucking of Bernie).
Afaict from DNC rules , Biden needs to release his delegates for the first rounds of voting; from there it would proceed like any convention prior to 1976.
Honestly, it would be a great thing for the Democrats to do this. All of a sudden people would really fucking care about the election.
Don’t let this election, or any election, allow us to forget the time back in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.
Hahahahaha no way!
YEAHHH SHITTYMORPH
Holy shit, is that the actual sauce? I had no idea about where this came from!
Oh, I love this idea so much.
Please for the love of country. Make it real
I feel it. I forgot what it was like. I feel… The Bern.
The President we need, but not the President we deserve
donald trump does have experience with the WWE. hes in their hall of fame actually
i sometimes wonder if he wishes he had stayed more of a celebrity than a politician.
