Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The scream didn't sink the campaign, every single media outlet insisting that the scream sank his campaign, sank his campaign.
He was doing pretty well as the most progressive candidate. MSM had to scramble and come up with a reason to publish a thousand articles about how voters didn't think he was electable. Which made him unelectable.
Great example of tail wagging the dog and crazy how well it worked.
I supported him because he was for universal healthcare. Last time I checked he's a lobbyist specializing in preventing universal healthcare.
Not to carry water for some liberal ghoul but the entire country abondoning you because the media performed an obvious hatchet job amputation on your campaign would probablly be a pretty strong motivator for anybody to say "fuck these stupid asshole if this is the thanks i get for helping them I just wanna know who's gonna sign the biggest check possible for me"
That's So Democrat
Many such cases.
I'm just glad that Dean was replaced by a man with a clearly electable personality: that volleyball with Tom Hanks' handprint on it made to look like a lil smiley face.
