If 10 more millions or so people will do the same, you would have Bernie as a nominee. But they didn’t, and you don’t. That’s a democracy. Now, in order to have it your way, you could for example continue your political activism, maybe even try to get elected somewhere.
What you can’t do is to say “everything is rigged because the outcome is not what I wanted” and call it a day. That’s not a democracy.

Everything is rigged, and I can’t imagine anyone being crazy enough to say otherwise. I make okay money and would need to work for like ten thousand years to make what some others in our country make in a second. Are you telling me that a system where one person can be placed on such a pedestal could ever be a good thing?

And if I answer yes to all of those questions and was in an early voting state that had Bernie doing much better than Biden? What then?
