2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Why Bernie can't drop out? Because he is being deceived. Repeatedly. [View all]cui bono
(19,926 posts)and lied about the best progressive we have next to Warren and condoned cheating against him.
Bernie is not doing this for the limelight. If you want to comment on him at least take the time to learn about him. You clearly haven't. He jumped into the race because someone had to fight for the people and it was clear there was no candidate who was definitely going to do that. O'Malley very well could have, but there's a bit of history there that left some doubt. Hillary clearly will not as she is completely beholden to Wall Street and has pushed for the TPP and fracking, both of which will decimate our lives.
Bernie would have been happier just going on as a senator, but he has a conscience and he really cares about our democracy and wants to get money out of politics and corporations out of our govt.
The last two Democratic presidents invited corporations into the party and now they have taken control of it leaving the people to fend for themselves save for a tiny bone they throw us from time to time. Obama even offered up SS ffs. Hillary is to the right of Obama so she's not going to change anything. Bernie threw his hat in the ring because he is about giving the people a voice, a say in what happens again.
So you can take your bullshit meme and shove it because it's a fucking lie. Good job on working towards unity.
