“While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change,” said the Vermont Independent. “And they’re right.”

    I love Bernie but unless you live in Vermont, his presence is now irrelevant, and the DNC isn’t going to allow another one of him to spring up again.

    Bernie is part of that coalition of big money. Brother endorsed Kamala the whole time, refused to pressure her and refused to call the war on Gaza a genocide. He should eat his own dogfood.

    I’d like to also blame Obama. No, seriously. That dude has rigged the democratic nominating process for the last three election cycles and it has led us here.

      I too want to blame Obama. But Obama actually somewhat tried

      Obama was behind the initial push to get rid of Biden and hold an open primary. The writing was on the wall. Absolutely no way Biden could win.

      People like Bernie worked against Obama to keep Biden. Only after months, and the entire party having to admit Biden was a lost cause at the CNN debate, they swapped out Biden for Kamala instead of holding an open election.

      By endorsing Kamala from the top down and pressuring all democrats to “fall in line for unity” we ended up with one of the worst possible candidates. Kamala was deeply unpopular in 2020.

      You can blame Bernie instead of Obama for this loss.

          Bernie is a grifter. Instead of looking for alternatives all the little mice now get behind the Sanders.

          The Pied Piper will sell them out in 2028 and endorse a Republican once more.
