Bernie doesn’t have the balls to do what needs to be done. The moment we actually start doing anything, he’s one of the first to tell us to get in line and obey.

... he’s one of the first to tell us to get in line and obey.

exactly like he did for clinton in 2016 and again for biden in 2020; he even told us that biden is good for the palestinians.

I’m convinced he’s been blackmailed. When he was doing well in 2016, suddenly some scandal appeared that targeted his wife. As soon as he fell in line with the DNC, the scandal disappeared.

Which if you’re familiar with the Clinton strategies, that’s right in line with their MO.

Half the country has been conditioned to believe that "government is the problem" and now the Republicans won the house, senate and presidency this election. A mass movement would have to overcome all of this Republican resistence, right wing media resistence and then convince moderate Dems to go farther with healthcare reform than what could be accomplished under Obama. We're moving in the wrong direction.

just don't make it about an election this time

Mass movement for Bernie couldn't even make him candidate for president, because Bernie didn't even try to fight and betrayed it to push worst ghouls in entire party instead, TWICE. So any movement imaginable better exclude this imperialist fossil saboteur from its ranks.

Who are those ghouls? Just curious, I know of our Manchins ofc but I wanna know who Bernie is okay with that I wouldnt have thought.

Bernie had the largest grassroots campaign in American history and used it to bend the knee to Clinton and then Biden instead of running as an actual leftist candidate like everyone was campaigning for him to

I honestly didn't keep up with him much in 2016, and was under the impression the DNC screwed him over more than anything then, and I really dfk what the DNC has been thinking the last 8 years out of this.

I do enjoy taking flak for asking questions though

Yes, movement of a mass at >1000ft/s.

Too bad you sheepdogged your mass movement back to the bog-standard neoliberal Democrats, not once but twice.

If it wasn't for Bernie I would have never gotten those post loss Harris fundraiser texts!

There's a few ways to beat rich executives, quite a few.

Indeed; there’s a veritable cornucopia of ammunition types that exist.
