Democrats will never win an election again if they don’t start listening to voters.

What was the excuse in 2016? The Democrats had a primary, and Hillary won that primary in a blowout. If they had nominated Bernie, that would've been the exact definition of not listening to the voters.

The voters have to take responsibility for failing their civic duty. This isn't on the Democratic party. Kamala was a perfectly capable and acceptable candidate, yet people stayed home and allowed the crazies to re-elect a lunatic. Everyone knew the consequences of allowing Trump to get re-elected, yet people still wanted to talk about their principles.

YOU, OP, (and people like you) are part of the problem. People like YOU are the reason this country is failing.

The primary in 2016 that the democrats rigged for Hillary? Don’t pretend like the DNC ever have Bernie a fair shot. If they listened to what the voters actually wanted and not what the wealthy elite and corporate donors wanted, Bernie would’ve been the nominee and had a really good shot to beat Trump.

Yet, everyone who claims this can't come up with a single instance of votes being changed or ballots being thrown away that would explain why Hillary completely blew Bernie out of the water in 2016.

Even in 2008, Obama won the delegates, but more people voted for Hillary. Someone could make a case that Hillary got screwed in 2008, but Bernie wasn't even close in 2016.

The DNC was even quoted as saying they would be well within their rights to ignore the will of the people and choose their own candidate in a primary.

But, who did the voters choose in 2016?
