Good thing that we are so slow at responding to some of our conditions.
Yeah… It gives some of us older folk a bit more time to die of natural causes. Considering our present circumstances, if during my next doctor’s check up he mentions I have developed a serious condition and has rendered me, “terminal.” I will happily reply, “Oh goody!”
If Bernie didn’t step aside and allow the Dems to rally around Biden, we’d be guaranteed another 4 years of Trump. I cannot fault Bernie for helping to save us from 4 more years. Thank you, Bernie.
We on the left can win in steps. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.
It’s on. Peope’s Party.
Bernie opened a door but wasn’t able to go through it. To do that required a Lenin or a Fidel. Bernie is neither.
People’s Party, y’all!
Total BS. Bernie didn’t step aside, he was strongarmed, just like 2016. Bernie would have won in both years; all surveys showed him the most popular pol in the US. He might still be. When separated from the label “socialism”, all polls show socialist-style programs favored by substantial majorities. Including Republicans. Many Trump voters have said they would have voted for Bernie if given the opportunity. You think Biden, Schumer, and Pelosi aren’t “four more years”? “Don’t say I didn’t warn you when your train gets lost.” --Bob Dylan
We’re stuck in a car with no brakes that only turns right, though, and only has one speed, on. So we just spiral rightward.
That’s not democracy.
I agree with you in 2016. I respectfully disagree this year. Trump is gone. Be happy and work toward advancing progressive goals for the next, Trumpless, four years.
Sorry, but Bernie effectively stepped aside very early. When Teachout wrote a factual breakdown of Biden’s corruption, Bernie distanced himself from her. When asked, he said that of course his friend Biden wasn’t corrupt. Are you kidding me?! When Nina Turner wrote an article in a South Carolina paper about Biden’s horrible record in regards to the impact on communities of color, the same. Rarely brought up the particulars regarding Biden’s dismal record, did next to nothing when the Democrats did what they did in Iowa (any halfway decent party would have demanded racist police lapdog Pete drop out and would demand Perez resign) and has never really even frontally challenged Democrats in power in recent years.
I do appreciate Bernie shifting the conversation, he has inspired self described socialists to run and socialists are now winning in ways that would have been unthinkable even 15 years ago. But, he made decisions this time around that seemed to prioritize Biden over the poor people and working people that depended on him fighting for them.
But, I would be happy if Bernie was weeks away from taking office. That was entirely possible Obama stepped in, took a break from sailing with Richard Branson, to undermine Bernie. I intensely dislike Obama.
Trump & McConnell are like 2 peas in a pod - both rotten to the core & should be removed now!!!
The old adage re “politicians”: Watch what they do, not what they say.
Name a better Senator over the years. He hasn’t changed, ever.
I wish. I’m sorry, Trump has basically been a distraction from, and a means of hiding the real cause of a global theft.
Not by any means the cause of this madness. Unfortunately.
Bernie has been part of an elaborate deception.
