Your first statement: proposterous. So propostoreus that I am not even going to hit backspace and correct the two misspellings that you are going to have to just live with for the rest of your life.
Second statement: you are clearly forgetting that Bernie is a Progressive. Right now he’s running as a Democrat, “I’m a Democrat” he says, and his alignment is close to Democrats, but nooooot quite. Any thinking person knows this. He is a Democratic Socialist. A Progressive. Progressive say it again Progressive. I spelled that correctly each time because it’s important.
You misunderstand his motivation. He’s always been a Socialist, Progressive, Independent, etc., to set himself apart from the crowd because the crowd is not and never has been championing the rights of the poor and middle class. Democrats have been creeping further and further towards the Volvo crowd and paying lip service to the poor, middle class, and minorities. Clinton’s crime bill is a perfect example of that. Bernie has never been that guy, and never will be.
So, this critique that “he hasn’t done anything for Democrats” falls flat, because that isn’t his job. What have YOU done for HIM? Nothing. You’ve all been busy giving Wall Street and the Prison-Military-Industrial complex a blowjob, trying to give them a better one than the Republicans.
Bernie has supported Progressives through the years and those are the people he has helped and will help in the future. ALL of his work is geared towards the poor, middle class and minorities. It’s his life’s calling. Support for regular run-of-the-mill corporatist-apologist Democrats? Pfffff. They don’t deserve his support and I’d be really surprised to ever see him stump for one.
All of your arguments are from behind this screen that the Democratic establishment is somehow good and what we need. The Democratic establishment is not good and it is not what we need.
What we need is a Progressive with a long track record who will not waver or present false information. There’s only one person in the race with those qualities.
