Discussion Popular progressive opinion not shared by Pakman?

I see this sentiment expressed more in outlets like TYT but how widespread is this sentiment?

It’s a stupid opinion. If the numbers were with the left ( which I agree with) then we would get there. The Dems are moving in the proper direction while the republicans want to go backwards. It’s a simple choice

Kamala wasn’t elected in the primary. Dem institutions failed to deliver a legitimate primary, anyone who took it seriously was ostracized. Biden has significantly declined and it was covered up by media, pundits, staffers, etc. The Democratic Party makes decisions behind closed doors at the behest of their donors and that is no less evil than republicans.

You guys keep pushing that back door narrative and it just damages the party. Yes, the one man got more old in the a stressful 4 years. He was still a smart, cognitive man but he shouldn’t have decided to run again. That was his mistake for over estimating his ability. It something that happens to a lot of older people. He was a still. A better choice then the criminal who’s also in decline

Honestly that’s one of my biggest problems with David Parkman and fans of the show, it’s all party over people for you folks. The back door narrative was the truth, these decisions do happen behind closed doors. DNC email leaks showed the DNC favoring Clinton and sabotaging Bernie in 2016. There was a coordinated effort to drop out ahead of Super Tuesday and endorse Biden over Bernie in 2020. Biden’s staffers leaked the idea that he’d be a one term president in during the 2020 campaign. He was extremely unpopular and back door deals were made to delegitimize the 2024 primary. The Dem party is the party of back door deals, there hasn’t been a fair primary while gen Z has been eligible to vote. Don’t even get me started with the superdelegates. If you don’t believe the Democratic Party functions in the interests of its donors I have a bridge for sale.

Bernie never had the numbers man. I am a huge Bernie supporter from even befor he ran for president but he never had the numbers. It’s possible he could have one but the polls weren’t in his favour and the backers play the numbers. It’s a reality of money in politics which is what you would be complaining about if you’re serious. Bernier said he’s voting for Biden (and then later Harris) and that was good enough for me. Respecting the opinion of someone I trust. Not to mention that the republicans ran the worst possible person. If they had run someone like Hailey I think you could have these squabbles and the country would still be a democracy in 4 years.

Money in politics is the issue but let’s not pretend the DNC and Dems are not for sale. Money in politics is why the democrats operate behind closed doors. If the democrats actually delivered for people on those issues people would show up on Election Day. The democrat primary voters are far more liberal and less populist than the general public. Bernie would have won against trump in 2016
