Sen. Bernie Sanders Is Showing His True Colors

[Galraedia]

In spite of the fact that Bernie doesn’t have a chance in hell of winning the nomination, instead of coming to help support the effort to get rid of a man who is so corrupt and delusional that he approached a German firm trying to buy the EXCLUSIVE rights to a cure to a world pandemic, Bernie is stomping his feet and complaining that he’s the victim of voter suppression. How is that helping the people? That’s fanaticism and an overwhelming interest in self.

I previously supported Bernie, but during this national emergency (Trump), Bernie needs to take his ass home and pout in private – THAT’S what’s in the interest of the American people. If Bernie can’t see that, everything else he’s spewing is just political rhetoric designed to promote his own interests.

Our primary objective is to get Trump’s ass out of office, and Bernie staying in the race and promising “pie in the sky” and free unicorn rides is not going to accomplish that objective. If Bernie really cared about the American people and all of the rhetoric he’s spewing, he’d stop being so divisive and place the interest of the American people above his hurt feelings and wounded ego.

That’s why about a month ago I turned my back on decades of support for Bernie. I believe in following truth wherever it leads and regardless of who’s ox it gores. So after taking a fresh look at Bernie, I began to recognize that demagogues aren’t new in American politics, and we’ve got to learn to spot them, regardless to how painful it is to accept. After all, I owe my greatest loyalty to myself.

1. The voice of reason! Kudos!!

[sheshe2]

2. Yes.

If Bernie can’t see that, everything else he’s spewing is just political rhetoric designed to promote his own interests.

We are in the worst possible crisis. People are dying every day. Thousands including healthcare workers who are part of my family. Let the Revolution go Bernie we have far more important issues. We need to bury our dead and vote for a man that can help us today and then tomorrow. Dreams are great, this is not the time.

Let it Be. Bow out with the grace and honor you deserve. You are not in this time and place the man who has the answers. Dreams are not going to answer the horrific death toll we face.

Words of Wisdom...let it go. Go away.

3. A Good Piece, Ma'am

Thank you for sharing it. The gentleman makes a lot of sense.





"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

4. Send them letters

I use to support him, but moved to Warren this time. I have sent letters to his Senate office in box and to info@ to pleased with him to join the team and work together to solve these issues. They need to hear this. He hears way too much from way too few

5. He looks more and more like Ralph Nader ever day.

[larwdem]

11. he's

worse then Ralph Nader he's A left wing Trump

[DENVERPOPS]

15. or Jill Stein

or an asset of Putin...............how perfect would that fit his increasing claims and bad behavior???????????

[Haggis for Breakfast]

17. Not exactly

When Nader got word that he was not going to get the nomination, he could have released his delegates (and many did ask) to go vote for Gore. He refused to release them, full well knowing that his was a lost cause. EGO. Even his best friend, Bob Reich, told him to release the people that want to be released and Ralph said "no." Bob later said it was all about Nader's all-consuming ego. I don't see how BS is doing anything different. The thing for Nader was - after the election, he became persona non gratis in the party. And stayed that way.

18. Thank goodness for some things nader did well

His work in the Auto industry was tremendous.......He forced major improvements in auto safety.

Then his ego, sadly, ran away from him.

22. And isn't that the saddest part ?

He was truly a force for good science to triumph over profit bottom lines. If only he had remained true to that. Instead, he started to believe his own press profile.

6. Demagogue is how Bernie has always struck me

While my dad (93) is a hard-core Berner, I have always been uneasy with what seemed to me to be a touch of fanaticism. That's one way in which he resembles the 'present occupant.'

His supporters' fanaticism and the tearing down of everyone but the object of their adulation is disturbingly similar to Trump's cult too.

7. I already knew his true colors

He's flown them for several years. I do agree that in this time of crisis it's become even more glaring. Good article.

[DenverJared]

8. He has been showing his true colors for 4 years

Some were not alert enough to fall for it

[C Moon]

9. Does he even get any press? I never see anything about him anymore.

[Cyrano]

10. Bernie: "Get off my lawn!"

[trueblue2007]

12. i agree with the author of this piece ...... Bernie needs to take his ass home and pout in private

13. BS said this about trump.. looks like they were just words..

Donald Trump must be defeated,” Bernie Sanders insists, “and I will do everything in my power to make that happen.”

Wow and from a former supporter.. he sees him so clearly now.

[DENVERPOPS]

16. Bernie has become

totally wrapped up in himself and is completely into self aggrandizing at this point. Sadly, the man has lost all self control and rational or reasonable thinking. My wife who is a long time Bernie Lover, told me after listening to Bernie a couple of weeks ago, she was voting for Biden. She also made an astonishing remark that Bernie was beginning to sound a lot like Trump........

19. I always appreciate it when former

Sanders supporters are catching on to what he's doing.

Thank you for that, Denver!

[calimary]

14. Amen.

[Tarheel_Dem]

20. How refreshing to see the scales fall from someone's eyes, and the results of the primaries so far..

seem to back up the vision of this former BS supporter.

21. sanders is staying in the race because he is hoping that Joe dies
