    Oh shut up Bernie. Sell-out.

    You’re part of the problem as much as the rest of the DNC, the fact they let you live on a shack at the periphery of their ranch to herd wayward sheep back onto it for them doesn’t mean you’re not part of the same failed apparatus from the standpoint of the sheep.

    Time and again he had chances to break from them, to publicly stand against the their bad positions, to create some daylight and time and again he bows his head, and utters his submission to the party leadership and their positions and claims it’s not ideal but we must vote for them.

    Even after they did all they could to screw him out of the nomination. Talk about pathetic. For a contrast look at Trump, the GOP tried to kill his campaign and he just got angrier and angrier as a result. Look where Trump is now and where Bernie is now. They both had their first serious showings in 2016, one’s now charismatic leader of the cult of doom and all his enemies in the party cower in fear at his name and edict, the other is a sheepdog still, a laughingstock who has no principles and always upholds the DNC strategy. Who is blind to genocide. Who had a real movement, a real chance for working class resistance and eagerly, happily dismantled it to pieces for the Democrats.

      He let them do it. Put up no protest and then gave them his support after they fought him with their whole apparatus.

      He’s also a Zionist, weak tea when it comes to policy, and completely incapable as an organizer, throwing away his network twice after losing. He was always a compromise candidate at best from a left perspective and is only perceived as particularly left wing in comparison to the duopoly status quo of proud neoliberal racist vs. false pretense neoliberal racist.

      He was never gonna win, the DNC has a party sheepdog every election cycle to keep disenfranchised voters rounded up in the party with the illusion that very soon, if they stick around, they too will have a seat at their table. By the time voters realized they got fucked over, again, it’s too late to form outside coalitions.

    Is it true or is it false news that he was top recipient from USAID to sell people cheap? I see stories discrediting the initial report propped by Musk, Amazon, … and actors denying it.
