Also I went on /r/DirtyPenPals to see if there was any stress about the election there, but no, those folks just keep on being horny and kinky without a care for our dumb problems, and I envy them.

      Corbyn is really a bad example to compare Sanders to. He got control of Labour and then did nothing about the Blairites. He could've purged them from the party and started changing things. By him sitting idle, it allowed them to constantly attack him and destroy his character.

      The DNC was never going to allow Sanders to get the nomination and if they did, we would've seen then move to the GOP in hopes of stopping him, more similar to what happened to McGovern.

        Bernie would have done the same thing as Corbyn did if he had won the nomination and somehow managed to win the presidency. Lots of people don't know Bernie's history pre 2016 as most people had never heard of him before then but he has cowtailed to the Democratic Party establishment since at least 1993. I say this as someone who donated and voted for him twice. But the Bernie from the 80s died a long time ago.
