Quote from: Garraty_47 on Today at 09:58:23 AMIt <ahem> wasn't just young people (I have the tshirts to prove it) in 2016 and he actually put on a master class in being performative. Not taking corporate donations, staying on message with M4A etc., and even though he never went for the throat just the fact that he was willing to run against Hillary went a long way toward giving people a sense of hope that the duopoly could be beaten.

Then of course he abandoned the movement that had grown around his messaging, bent the knee to Hillary and the DNC, turned his "base" into a resource to be extracted by the democrats, and became as useless as the rest of 'em in D.C.

But at first the energy and the momentum were real and rallied around the issues themselves; Bernie was just the only guy in mainstream politics to be making those kinds of noises. Corporate media never stops pushing the idea that voters must choose between red shit or blue shit and here's a guy on team blue saying all the right things; of course he was going to get traction in a revolution-minded political cycle.

It's the people who still tried/try to put him on a pedestal after he utterly caved to the DNC who are deluded and cultish.

democRATs got played twice by bernie the loon. The phony with that asshole owning 3 houses while promoting his "eat the rich" bullshit was nauseating. He'd do it a third time if given the opportunity.

Quote from: Thiel on May 07, 2024, 05:25:05 PMIt amazed me in 2016 how he was able to con so many young people into believing an old rich man who keeps getting richer not only understood people who are struggling, but had their backs.

Bernie Sanders is as phony as they get in Washington and that is saying something.

On the one hand she is quick to condemn Dove for having a conversation about drugs with her adult children while at the same time making excuses for Murdock who has admitted she's actually gone further by doing drugs with her kids.

Wait, she actually excused it? Link please
