Sen. Bernie Sanders Is Showing His True Colors [View all]

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.
