Imagine being cheated out of a Presidential nomination TWICE by rigged voting inside your own party run by Marc Elias and the gang, and then backing an Impeachment Trial for Trump because he said elections were rigged by Marc Elias and the gang. The ‘Big Lie’ that Sanders condemns, sounding like a CNN metronome, is the ‘Big Lie’ that kept him a thousand miles from power even when he looked close, and yet he never complained THEN.
Trump is to blame for everything Bernie’s own side did to him. Is this even whining or psychosis or betrayal?
Whatever kind of mistakes Corbyn made in the UK, he never quite resorted to the given formats of a hypnotised rhetoric and culture as Bernie Sanders now has. These tweets seem copy-and-pasted out of Biden admin talking points. He sounds like Adam Curtis on analgesics. ‘Big lie’, tick. ‘Conspiracy theories’, tick. ‘My own side cucked me twice’, tick.
July 2016 never happened, right? The ‘bros’ wandered around in useless rage outside the convention centre, and everyone forgot. The footage still exists.
It makes little difference to Sanders that his role in the DNC was terminally prohibitive and enabling. What matters most, as Chris Hedges has commented, is for Bernie Sanders not to be Ralph Nader. There is no woulda, coulda, shoulda with Bernie at all in either 2016 or 2020. That the DNC is a criminal enterprise capable of sabotaging any vote was already there for all to see. Bernie was therefore, in recent times, the first to know. And yet, here, hyper-retarded.
As Donna Brazile once memorably put it when it all came out, ‘How was I going to get Brooklyn to see the DNC as something more than a potted plant?’
