WDYM why would she tweet that? To show how fucking clear the choice is.

Maybe trying to stay relevant after to failed presidential bids? Nobody fucking wanted her. Bernie would have won in 2016

I agree that Bernie would have gotten more Republican Voters to cross the aisle and vote for him instead, but...

She still had more votes than Trump, she performed better in the primaries than Bernie. "Nobody wanted her" is a pretty shallow view of what goes on in the USA.

honestly wouldn’t take much more to convince me that this post is pro-MAGA propaganda. its doing a great job of perfectly tugging the hairs needed to split the vote.

this post benefits no one who will be negatively impacted by the catastrophe of climate change and rising sea levels, and benefits every oil exec, all while posing perfectly in the environmentalist limelight. conservative astroturfing, in other words.

Concerned with the spoiler effect? Consider starting a campaign for electoral reform in your state.

A voting system like Ranked Choice would solve the problem you're worried about.
