Bernie could have led an army into the streets after he was robbed of the nomination. He could have forced Hillary to step aside for the good of the country.
Instead, he bent the knee.
He could have gone public with the threats Hillary made to him, in order to reveal just what kind of an inhuman monster she really is.
Instead, he made barely a peep.
You say he's fighting, but in the biggest fight of them all, he blew it.
We could have been a year and a half into the fucking revolution by now. We could have had Lloyd Blankfein's bones hanging in a gibbet at the corner of Wall Street and Broadway, having been pecked clean by the pigeons. We could have hung Jeff Sessions on the fucking National Mall for being a subhuman piece of shit. We could have not only drained the swamp, but set fire to it, and made sure that nothing like it ever materialized again.
But we are here instead. Bernie shouldn't shoulder all the blame for that, but he sure as hell deserves some. If Bernie has to die for the rest of the swamp to die too, then so be it. That's a fair sacrifice to make.
If I'm a fucking idiot, you're a Goddamned fool.

I actually agree with most of what you said. I still trust him. I'm wondering if HRC threatened his grandkids. Something got to him. With the right words he could have put this country in riots.

Oh honey. You haven't connected the dots, have you. Well, buckle up. This is going to be difficult for your mind to process, but you must listen to my words and consider them carefully.
Hillary threatened Bernie with Pizzagate.
She showed him evidence of what they do to children. (Bernie has been in Washington for 25 years, so I'm sure he had suspicions--whispers of a nameless, unspeakable evil--but no actual evidence.)
She threatened to feed his grandkids to whatever thing is driving John Pedosta's meat shell, and to make him watch.
Then she threatened to frame him for possession of child pornography. (Wouldn't have been hard to do; remember when Correct the Record got a bunch of Bernie-supporting Facebook pages shut down by posting CP to them ... and no one was arrested or even investigated for it?)
It's the only thing that would have turned Bernie the warrior into Bernie the coward. I can read faces pretty well, and that first appearance with them two together ... Bernie was terrified. It didn't make sense to me at the time, but it sure as fuck does now.
She threatened to destroy not only his campaign, not only his family, but his memory. With the right CP or pedophilia frame job, all the love people had for him would turn to visceral horror in an instant.
I say he should have gone public with her threats, ripped the curtain down, and let the chips fall where they may. But maybe when you come face-to-face with actual, living demons, you simply can't talk about it even if you wanted to. Maybe they can put a glamour on people. Maybe the experience cannot be described in words. Maybe people stay silent because they figure--probably correctly--that they wouldn't be believed.
Perhaps Bernie should be spared the gallows, but he needs to come clean about what actually happened, why he abandoned the people who'd put their faith in him.
