2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Dkos: No, Senator Sanders; YOU are out of touch (opinion piece) [View all]R B Garr
(17,377 posts)talk. Well, no shit. That was obvious to the millions who rejected him in the primary. You don't have to prove a damn thing, just throw out attacks like chum in the water and see who shows up to fight over it. And if Sanders' wanted to talk about both parties being broken, then why the fuck did he run as a Democrat. He only needed Democrats to use their resources and the media attention. He has admitted that was his strategy.
Talk about contradicting yourself, you just did to the max. Saying something is irresponsible to mention while running on it as a major part of your platform is just plain malicious duplicity. If you can't even quantify or qualify a single thing you accuse others of, maybe you should get out of the way.
And apparently you've never heard of his Revolution? It consisted entirely of people calling representatives and just showing up wherever directed so you can protest. But he couldn't even do that with the governor of his little state to sway him in favor of single payer. So it's yet another duplicitous and dishonest Sanders' angle to convince people to do something he wasn't able to accomplish himself.
And obviously it matters what Donald runs with because we are all stuck with it now! What's even more alarming is how much Donald made it clear he used the so-called progressives to bite on his bait he picked up from Bernie. Donald has basically flipped that segment the middle finger by appointing mega-billionaires to his cabinet. He's a con man who didn't need anything from you all except how to manipulate with bullshit. So much for the "corporate" crap we heard. It's completely meaningless and irrelevant. Look what we have now.
