We tried to vote ourselves into socialism but were prevented by the DNC.
I guess we'll have to try a different box.
That "DNC" you're writing about sure is a funny way to spell "Millions of Democratic voters (and independents in open primary states) who weren't too lazy to actually vote, and were disproportionately elderly and minority."
The one big downside of the internet, is that it has enabled people to tailor their media preferences to such a fine degree, that it is possible to gaslight yourself with lies and bullshit tailored to your own specific political pathologies. Lots of activists blame the large media providers, but the real problem is human nature, combined with the new modern ethos of passive-aggressive petulance over loss of white-American-male privilege, and society's excessive catering to tantrum-throwers of all types. Everyone from the neo-Nazi right nutballs, to the kook-left black flag tankies, tries to pretend to themselves that they're the real "victim".
How about voting next time, guy, instead of making up bullshit about the Schrodinger's "DNC", which is both simultaneously so powerful that it can supposedly override the will of the majority of party (including State-run elections) and yet so weak that it can't win against the most perfect embodiment of right-wing tantrum throwing there is?
Sadly this is true, I've seen it happen so many times. During the last UK election there was a bubble that many socialists got stuck in and it came as a bit of a shock when Labour lost so badly.

Oh wait, they're not.
But ya, your conspiracy theory sounds way better.
