What did Bernie get in return for this humiliation?
He got input into a committee that will make a non-binding recommendation to another committee that will release a statement.
The most logical and reasonable explanation is Bernie not having the same values or moral compass as people thought.
Whomever thought Bernie wasn’t a Go-Along, Get-Along compromiser with a history of backing the party going back over 20 years wasn’t paying attention.
Win or lose, Bernie was always going to play the hand he was dealt. He’s from the same school of Harm Reduction as Noam Chomsky, and right now Trump has him more spoked than anything the Dems are offering up.
Whether that’s wise is debatable. But it isn’t some Heel Turn that happened in April. It’s been a feature of Bernie’s political life since the start.
Democrats are so desperate to maintain the fiction that they’re not fighting absolute ghouls that they’ve created this whole “Never Trump Republican” mythos out of thin air. Trump still has an approval rating over 90% among the GOP.
what the fuck even is a bernie
“Join forces” = they are speaking on the same day of the convention.
Bernie radicalized plenty of people but he was never going to be the left’s gateway into power. Matt Christman do you hear me
Bernie radicalized plenty of people
Which is why entryism into the Democratic Party is still unquestionably good, even though it obviously has its limits. It’s way easier to have a real conversation with someone about socialism if you have people forcing the term into mainstream political discourse, and while the PSL is cool and good they’ve never going to do that.
