Hi bb,

Agreed – the full deck of cards has been stacked aganist Bernie from the start.  That said, one would like to believe that the lessons from 2016 would have been learned.  Those lessons being sinmply that the full deck of cards was always going to be stacked aganist Bernie in 2020.  And with that knowledge, a change from co…[Read more]

Nope – @segami has the last best words – “Hard Truths are never served sweetened …”

Hi segami,

Well said. Agreed completely.  As you said “Hard Truths are never served sweetened …”

@hasslecat

Hi hc,

Misses the point.  If one is truly still campiging then campaign.  It all points to the perception that Sanders has already given up and has yet to state so publicly.

Hi cmt,

Campaign email sent April 3rd 2020.  Don’t have a hard link; it showed up in the inbox as a contributor communication.

The email was titled “We must respond in an unprecedented way”.

The relavent parts are excised and bolded below.

Hi segami,

Well said.

@jonlp

Hi jlp,

Jimmy’s point is that this reflects a missed oppoortunity on the part of Bernie and progressives in general.  And he makes that point becuase Bernie’s path to victory is in fact so narrow that it most likely won’t happen.

Hi gm,

Yes, he has stated his disappointment in her after she endoresed Biden.  He is criticizing both Bernie and AOC most beacuse they ostensibly have the most prpgressive power at this point in time.  Tulsi has already abdicated her power by endorsing Biden.

Hi pam,

All candidates have flaws, including Bernie as he has aptly demonstrated in the last 4 weeks.

Hi cmt,

Attacking the messenger is always a weak position to argue from.

@coldmountaintrail

Hi cmt,

Yep – ain’t hypocrisy grand.  Just another feature of our failed political system and failing country.

@coldmountaintrail

Hi cmt,

Nope, JDS is telling the truth about a flawed political system and a flawed campaign and a flawed candiadte for the 2020 democratic primary.

@segami

Hi segami,

Agreed completly.  Bernie’s unwillingness to suspend Senate collegialty, while waging a campaign war, is a stunning failure.

Hi incognito,

Jimmy speaks hard truths and hard realities that most do not want hear beacuse they have invested themeslevs in a flawed political system with flawed candidates.

The sooner we all move on, the sooner we can start rebuidling the…[Read more]

Hi ew,

Like his style or not, he makes a point.  The progressive wing of the democratic party abdicated to Pelosi and Schumer instead pushing a braoder stimulus response to Covid19.  Had the progressive wing fought harder we would not have a 4.5 trillion corporate bailout to the benefit of the 1% and detriment of the 99%.

@ohiobarbarian

Hi ob,

I said most not all.  One assumed that applied to everyone.

Bruised expectations are difficult for everyone to deal with including you and me.

Learning to let go is all about letting go of things that are not real or are no longer real.

Barring a miracle, Bernie’s campaign is all but over as a practical matter.

And…[Read more]
