(58,785 posts)Sanders constant dirty tricks and virulent nastiness do us a favor -- by mitigating his own damage.
The Repubs, with Russian augmentation, have been trying their very best to cast Sanders and his extremism as the face of our party -- and of the liberalism he and the Repubs all despise and fear. Sanders cooperates synergistically with them against us in seemingly all else, but he can't, or won't, suppress his lifelong hostility and apparently daily need to attack long enough for the Repubs and Russia to brand our party, even to some gullible Democrats, as the Sanders party.
So thank goodness he lacks the self discipline to seize the opportunity these giant enemy powers tried to give him and run it as far as he could take it.
"I am not now, nor have I ever been, a liberal Democrat." Yes, and every day you underline that you are not us to the nation.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
