because that is far too kind a description of this kind of bullshit.
Bernie is no longer attacking a political rival for the nomination he is attacking the man who he knows will be our candidate. And if he doesnt know that by now, hes delusional.
Bernie began his campaign attacking the party who gave him a spot on our ticket. He went on to label everyone who didnt support him as establishment Dems or corporate Dems, both labels meant to belittle and demean.
Even back in 2016, I saw Bernie as the snake who would bite us in the end and he did it then, and hes doing it again.
Feel the Bern was never about a revolution against injustice or inequality as much as it was about Bernie being elevated to the position of power he has always felt entitled to. And just like Trump, Bernie has always played to his base without any regard to those outcasts who refuse to drink his particular flavour of kool-aid.
It was inevitable that Feel the Bern would become burn it all down if the primaries didnt go Bernies way and the ad youve posted is the proof thereof.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
