   @mmalc @dragonsidedd @benroyce Dems need to prove themselves as having platform beyond being "not the Republicans". Because you can't sell yourselves as an opposition party that doesn't actually oppose anything and think anyone is going to come out for you.

   And putting Bernie and AOC on tour and then sidelining them at the ballot doesn't count.

     @benroyce @bebadefabo @mmalc @dragonsidedd I am glad he is passing the torch. I hope AOC doesn't make the same mistakes he did.

     Mr. Bill repeated this.

     @mls14 @bebadefabo @mmalc @dragonsidedd

     i'm well versed on the #bernie loathing out there

     i consider such loathing misdirected

     bernie in the general would have beaten #trump in 2016

     the loathing should be directed at all that out there that prevented the matchup

     that's our enemy

     centrist #democrats need to be shivved and shoved off a pier (figuratively speaking)

     the last 10 years is a mistake

     it should have been bernie

     #AOC:

     you're up

     @benroyce @bebadefabo @mmalc @dragonsidedd AOC is the future. Bernie is the past.

     At least AOC might be able to bring people together. Bernie loses in the primary, then acts bitter and reluctantly pretends to support the nominee... and his supporters sense that and stay home. Haven't we had enough of that already?

     And at his age, he is DEFINITELY not the future.

     @mls14 @bebadefabo @mmalc @dragonsidedd

     bernie is touring with AOC to huge crowds

     the appeal and the passing of the torch is obvious, so stop shitting on bernie

     he would have beaten trump in 2016 if he made it to the general

     @bebadefabo @mmalc @dragonsidedd

     so we don't sideline them

     by "we" i don't mean this notion of an omnipotent #democrat centrist grip on the party. that doesn't exist. they're weak

     by "we" i mean us who are going to mob #primaries2026

     right?

     are you listening out there?

     #bernie and #aoc own the future of the #democratic party

     whoever opposes this only delays the inevitable

     *but*

     if you don't fucking show up in the #primaries you fucking inert motherfuckers, it doesn't happen either
