Alright this is gettin a bit much, Bernie endorsed all of this shit. The change he’s talking about was on the ballot and he was pushing the conservative coddling moderate.
He was trying to do everything he could to prevent Trump. That meant holding his tongue so as not to encourage people against strategic voting. It’s a very dumb system we have, but it’s not Bernie’s fault we’re in it.
Now that the general is over, he can speak his mind again. And probably a hint of getting ahead of the Democratic Party’s inevitable blaming of the left for this loss rather than an ounce of introspection.
Not everything, one thing, the same thing everyone here was trying to do, the same thing the DNC was doing, trying to appeal to conservatives. This is the result, no one wanted conservative democrats, but everyone was holding their nose and pushing for it.
Now after the fact people are trying to act like they support progressives.
Yup! But only one person had enough votes to potentially beat trump, which is how the system is designed. I checked last night, and I don’t remember the exact number, but Cornell West received something like 0.67% of the votes in my State. Knowing how the system works, we had one option to prevent a far right government, and it was a less right government. I didn’t design the system, I just live in it.

He specifically said he doesn’t endorse it other than because on each topic, trump is worse.
You know who else trump is worse than? Everyone! Bernie, AOC, jill stein, cornell west, any progressive.
