No, he spent his entire career refusing to be associated with them, ensuring he would have no actual ability to have any influence in the party he could use to shape it.
Bernie doing what Bernie does best: grabbing the spotlight for himself while offering no practical solutions to our problems.
I agree. I was a bit irritated by that as well and, my extension, his die hard supporters. He only wanted to wrap himself in the Democratic Party when he needed our money and organization. And when they didn’t like the rules that the Democratic Party set long ago, they then claimed that somehow the (known,…
I live/work in a college town in a deeply racist red state. We actually have a stellar group of progressive women of color elected officials. So Bernie did very well here, like I said college town, and after the primary he comes back to stump for HRC. HRC’s campaign was charged with recruiting speakers, getting local…
The stroke might explain a lot.
I’ve had people tell me Sanders has been “busy as fuck” lately, and that he’s out here “every day” fighting for us.
I think there are a LOT of people who are sick to death of Bernie and his rude-ass supporters who cost Clinton the election with their petulant bullshit, and I agree with OP that, even though I like how liberal Bernie is, I would be less than thrilled to see him become the candidate next election.
Oh, no, you misunderstand: many people on the left at this point haaaaate Bernie. The man himself. Hate him. Hate. He’s a dilettante who has done nothing but shit on the Democrats from the left (not just Hillary — remember when he wanted Obama to be primaried in 2012) while actually accomplishing nothing. He’s a…
Not a member of the cult. Bernie is actually in it for us, not for himself. He (foolishly) think that he can convince enough Americans that democratic socialism is a good thing. I know it is, but I have less faith in the American people.
You’ll get shit for this but I 100% agree. He does not articulate his platform well (he can hardly talk about anything other than his stump speech) and he stayed in the race far too long and drove down enthusiasm for Clinton. He is not and has never been a Democrat and I am honestly kind of mad at the DNC for letting…
We need to think about 2018 before we even consider 2020. Flip as much Blue as we can. Let no GOP run unopposed.
What irks me about Bernie is he purposefully spent his entire career spurning the Democrat label despite caucusing and voting with Democrats the overwhelming majority of the time. He purposefully marginalized himself within the Democratic Party by refusing to identify as a Democrat. But then he comes out of nowhere…
During the campaign I worked with Bernie’s immediate team. I don’t want to do it again, and rumor had it all the unpleasantness came from the top.
Ugh, this isn’t Bernie kicking off a campaign for 2020, right? He’s too old?
Trump is just as bad as Hillary guys! The DNC cheated Bernie so let’s protest vote! Let’s stay home! They both suck equally!
And pretend that the only Trump voters were white working class people who are feeling economic anxiety, ignoring the studies that found Trump voters have an average income of around $70,000 (don’t remember the exact figure) and test higher for racial and gender bias.
I read that tweet, shook my head, and said aloud, “Fuckin’ idiot.” I mean, if he’s a senior citizen, he’s DEFINITELY old enough to know that the GOP is not who you hitch your wagon to if you care about or need government safety nets. Like, keep up, Bob.
Speak for yourself. These people voted for Trump because, at the very least, they were willing to ignore rhetoric about stomping all over the Constitutional liberties of Muslims and hateful rhetoric about Latinos, immigrants, black people, women, and the list goes on and on.
