I've seen this a lot lately. Apparently it's the new party lie to try and detract from Bernie because he's objectively popular. They just drop this and never elaborate.
High bar there, you turned against the buregoise weeks before you are systematically killing people with a fash dictator, congrats on the quick reaction very well done totally we totally are going to celebrate your action you are so good and fast
My point is that I doubt it matters. It’s like getting halfway down a water slide and then saying “hmmm maybe this isn’t a good idea” and then expecting to be able to get off the water slide.
Bernie has been fighting for us since he was dragged away protesting in what I think was the veitnam war. He hasn't flip flopped like most of our other leaders or like some pretending to be a rebel wearing sweats.
Bernie should start his own party and try to convince people not to vote for the Democrats in the midterms. That would really show those nasty Republicans, if half the left voted for Bernie's party instead of the Democrats. Trump would lose power for sure then!
Only half?
I'd imagine the entire left would be excited to have some left-wing representation. The centrist and right-wing Democrats only need us to make their party relevant.
Unfortunately, half of the left are barely even leftists. They have the fascist belief in strategic voting, and won't commit to a change in plans until they're sure it'll work. The bastards! Those Nazis will vote for the Democrats even if we show them a better party, because they're not willing to take the big risks for the cause. They think democracy is too precious to gamble. What a bunch of counterrevolutionaries!
