Bernie is the only politician we have fighting for income inequality. You are a fucking idiot.
[–] cthulian_axioms ago (edited ago)
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.
