This sub's original purpose was to document the intentional media blackout of Bernie Sanders, the hostile coverage he's received by the corporate pundit class, the distortion of his support and policy by 'liberal' MSM news outlets and their manufacturing of support for his opponents.

We've since shifted focus towards documenting the corporate MSM bias against the left as a whole & their manufacturing of consent for the duopoly, military industrial complex, wall street and big pharma/tech.

How can this be?

The DNC did exactly the same thing in 2024 as they did in 2016. So why did it turn out in exactly the same way? Who could have possibly foreseen this?

Maybe an answer to 2024's Bernie Blindness

Biden drops out and Kamala Harris, who also ran against Bernie in 2020 and dropped out and endorsed Biden prior to Super Tuesday as well, is on track to be coronated via selection by state delegates as the Democratic nominee.

  • Of either party, the party of democracy is the one that is on track to skip a democratic vote, wherein 50% of the American presidential election choice will be decided by that party’s leaders, and the other 50% has already been nominated as Trump, leaving Democrats with effectively no voice in both the primary and presidential selection.
    • This is now more complicated than an old man undergoing cognitive decline vs. a charged felon. The Democratic party, the party whose motto for the last 4 years has been "democracy is on the line", is on track to nominate somebody without a democratic vote, due to increasing pressure from a disillusioned media and political elite about Biden's cognitive decline and electoral chances. The replacement choice has never won a state in a presidential primary election, and is also lagging behind Trump in the polls.
  • Meanwhile, if a democratic vote were conducted, such as via an internet portal with social security number login, such as the kind used in Estonia with success for about 19 years (Estonia is a Northern European, Nordic, socially-democratic country south of Finland with Scandinavian-like programs) — as a temporary legitimizing solution, most likely Bernie would win in a landslide in that vote if he ran, going by the only available evidence, which is their respective performance in 2020.
    • This 2024 DNC coronation is a good testing ground for internet voting, even for a subpar prototype, since the existing trajectory is instead no election at all, and a coronation by the party's leaders. A subpar prototype would be more legitimizing than no democratic vote at all, though the DNC would still be legally allowed to nominate Kamala Harris either way.
    • It is not that hard to build a website that people log in to through social security numbers that cross-checks if they’re a registered democrat, as a temporary solution to allow democracy in this DNC coronation, instead of an oligarchical situation without any democratic vote.
    • Then after a legitimizing prototype, an ideal internet voting system can be gradually developed. Decentralized, locally hosted versions — whose software code and hardware blueprints are required to be open-source and version-controlled such as on GitHub for each district’s setup, so that they can be audited not just by specialized auditors, but by the public (at least other coders) — with software exemplified by a standardized version that’s implemented with talented coding to be simple for general coders to follow the logic of and inspect — hosted locally respective to each district, on each district’s servers, and (as with the current system) primarily regulated by each district — is a novel idea, can be gradually developed, and is more secure than the centralized system that is successfully used in Estonia. The same encryption/decryption information transaction protocols that banks, Robinhood, Apple Wallet, etc. use, are safe, secure, and confidential, since our entire global economy depends on them, but to guarantee anonymity in addition to confidentiality is made realistic via decentralizing, open-sourcing, and version-controlling, which, combined with audits, guarantees anonymity at least as much as the current system (if not more due to the open-sourcing, which helps both auditing and usually security). There are no downsides, and many upsides. Internet voting increased voter turnout by 5 - 15 percentage points in Estonia. Higher voter turnout and reduced voting obstruction generally benefit democratic processes, in particular the election of progressive candidates. Such a system can also make referendums and smaller votes much easier. It can also help in the process of transitioning to rank choice voting, and making that intuitive. And none of this is immediately necessary for the DNC coronation, which can suffice with a basic centralized website prototype that can be implemented quickly, to legitimize the DNC selection more democratically, with login via social security number, Democrat registration automatically cross-checkable based on social security number, and residencies (such as state-respective restrictions) associated via April tax information. Such a prototype then can serve as a basis for the gradual development of a modernized voting system.

Online Election Voting Protocol

Now that Biden has dropped out, instead of undemocratically coronating somebody as the Democratic nominee without an election, we can and should roll out a fast online election, using the same safety and security technologies that banks use, that PayPal uses, that Robinhood uses, that TurboTax uses, that Amazon uses, that Apple Wallet uses, that Venmo uses, that all of those major financial entities use, which prove that safety and security isn't the truthful reason why people in power oppose such a modernization of the voting process. A safe and secure online voting protocol makes logical sense, and the effect would be to enfranchise unprecedented numbers of voters in our democracy.
