They went soft during reconstruction. Not fixing the southern problem then has allowed that racism and bullshit to fester for another century and the billionaires were able to harness that hatred for their own means.

Also, you’re assigning shit to me I never said nor insinuated. Pointing out the very obvious public motions these elites are already taking to try to ruin the chances of an actual progressive winning, is not “looking for enemies”. They were never hiding their actions. We don’t have to go looking.

And Warren obviously threw in with the establishment, so why would she do a deal with Bernie?
People are bringing it up BECAUSE the establishment Dems are clearly GOING TO DO IT AGAIN. Holy shit pay attention

121·6 months agoLol, wrong.
They learned in the media to not even mention him as a candidate half the time, despite consistently being in the top 3.
Then after Bernie won several early primary states, the entire rest of the Democratic candidate pool orchestrated dropping out at the same time to back the guy who hadn’t broken 5th place yet, except Warren to split the progressive vote, to manufacture consent for backing Biden.
