In the aftermath of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ abandonment of his campaign, many members and supporters of the Democratic Socialists of America now see through the DSA’s cynical and duplicitous role as an accomplice of the Democratic Party.
For years, even preceding the 2016 election, the DSA trumpeted Sanders as the fearless leader of a “political revolution” that would transform the Democratic Party into an instrument of far-reaching social change.
But Sanders has slunk out of the fight for the nomination in a manner that invites contempt. There was nothing of an old fighter’s last hurrah. The aged senator did not even offer his supporters a last harrumph. Rather, he meekly accepted the verdict of the Democratic Party machine and sang the praises of his “old friend” Joe Biden. And so, Sanders’ political revolution ended not with a final roar of defiance, but with a whimper of unctuous flattery.
**SNIP**
Leon Trotsky wrote in 1935:
Reformists and centrists readily seize upon every occasion to point a finger at our ‘sectarianism;’ and most of the time, they have in mind not our weak but our strong side: our serious attitude toward theory; our effort to plumb every political situation to the bottom, and to advance clear-cut slogans; our hostility to ‘easy’ and ‘comfortable’ decisions which deliver from cares today, but prepare a catastrophe on the morrow. Coming from opportunists, the accusation of sectarianism is most often a compliment.

Time to read some more Trotsky while ordering up another venti iced skinny hazelnut macchiato, sugar-free syrup, extra shot, light ice, no whip.
They are going to have to draft that commie John Brennan.
Communist fruitcakes. Got a real good look at a cross section of what was Bernie’s constituency....God save us from total destruction...and lunacy. Even the radical RATS could not stand it....
Asmay be, but after the 2016 Democrat convention, the socialists began planning to run their own ticket if they were cheated again.
They planned to get their own candidates on the ballot but they only have two months (I believe) to get their petitions in to put said candidates on the ballot.
If they choose to try this then all of the Bernie Delegates will vote Biden on first round at the Democrat convention.
I care.
Because if the Bernie Bros pull it off the rift between the Democrat factions will become permanent.
I am all for a permanent split between leftists.
The Bernie Bros have all gone on suicide watch, just saying.
How many lake houses did the DNC buy Bernie this time?

ROTFLMAO!!!
Pssst, Bernie Bots...feel the Cheapsuit Bern...
Bernie learned a long time ago that it pays to run. Look just how profitable it has been for him.
I guess the deposit was finally cleared at some offshore corrupt bank. LOL. What a weak, pathetic loser. Do his naive, idiot supporters still love him? Hahaha.
