The Year 2100

Liberals still hating on Bernie supporters and refusing to accept the idea that voters wanted a shake up of the system, rather than a female version of the status quo establishment left?
...so now we're stuck with a right wing shake up to the system instead.
- They’re going to keep pissing on others like this and continue to be surprised when their candidates don’t get elected. It will always be someone else’s fault.

  If Bernie was so popular why couldn't he beat Hillary Clinton or Biden in the Primaries?
  Or was that someone else's fault?
- If people won’t vote in their own best interest we get facsism.

  This is a blatant misrepresentation of the 2016 DNC cacus run. Absolutely ignorant.

Am I too un-USAmerican to understand this joke?
- In the 2020 primaries, Bernie Sanders was rapidly gaining support. Based on the number of candidates and how they were splitting the vote, he stood the best chance of winning.
  Then, the call went out. I'm not sure how else to describe it. All the competing candidates were in one day, and then most of them withdrew the next day and cleared the moderate field for Biden. It was a coordinated choice by a donor group or DNC or something that catapulted a mid popularity Biden to the top of the pack. Hence the calls of 'DNC sabotaged Bernie'
  
  He kinda got fucked in 2016 when the DNC was all Vote for Hillary or lose your funding
  
  Thank you. Seems like the DNC brought upon Trump by themselves.
  OP could've added that context to the comic. We don't all follow the news from abroad.
  
  There was something similar that happened in 2016 as well.
  
  But why are they still talking about in in 2100 in the comic? I don't get whether it's shitting on the Bernie supporters for not moving on, or taking the piss out of the democratic party not getting its shit together.
  
  That's literally just politics. Apply the same logic to the recent french elections where competing left-wing candidates dropped out to not split the vote.
  Nothing was stopping Bernie from making a deal with Amy and Pete to stay in the race to keep the centrist vote split
  
  The way I remember it Bernie didn’t have enough votes before everyone dropped out.

Taking the adage of "those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it," I could foresee someone going back in time to kill Hitler before he rose to power only for that history never to have been written so it still happens at a different point, in a different part of the world, because nobody learned from it.
Of course, we are now living in a time where it did happen and people still didn't learn a fucking thing...
- so it still happens at a different point, in a different part of the world
  Like in the Congo, Zimbabwe or now in Palestine?

Whats funny to me is this could be taken in two ways.
- My brain is sad and sluggish today, explain?
  
  one is people are still talking about it, the other is it happened again (granted then would have had to have some insane medical advancements)

The lesson will be repeated until it is learnt
