Bernie Sanders is quite something.
He's very good at marching his army to the top of the hill.
Then turning round and marching them down again without engaging the enemy.
Political contests parallel the rules of war. In this day and age even those ethical strictures are bypassed and abused. But Bernie in his “wisdom” declines to fight. He clearly hopes kind words about his political enemy will work for him. Of course they didn’t. This is not the ideal world of the Queensbury Rules where opponents respect each other and behave almost as if they are at some event where they have to mind their p’s and q’s.
Bernie battled his way and gained a massive following only to bend the knee to Biden when the time came to cross swords with him. Complimenting Biden and saying Biden could beat Trump while still in the game were Bernie’s short verbal suicide note to all watching and listening.
His war was over without firing a shot in what ought to have been the deciding duel.
His supporters could only look on in disbelief, turn round and go home.
Bernie calls himself an independent. But his ties to the Democratic Party are lifelong and super strong. And of course the controlling elite of the Democratic Party, the DNC, despise him and do all in their power to trip him up and his progressive agenda. But will Bernie fight them tooth and nail as he needs to? He will not.
The issues are important. Free health care. An end to regime change wars. Calling a halt to Wall Street’s lobbyists deciding policy in Washington, ending the dominance of all authoritarian elites overall... getting rid of the most insane president that ever held office.
But instead of fighting his hardest to see those issues dealt with and after delivering the massive base he needed and the funds to fight... he capitulates to a man who will ensure the status quo remains just as it is. He bows down to a man who actively called for the incarceration of ever more Americans, a man who was a leading advocate for the regime change war against Iraq, a man who is without doubt a serial sexual abuser and a man who will continue to enable the same ‘America First’ agenda that creates the current plague of American exceptionalism upon the world.
‘Way to go Bernie. You did it again. You delivered the rhetoric then delivered your resignation. Your base was kicked in the teeth once again. You are some strategist Bernie... but in fact ultimately you are a craven coward and capitulating mouse of a man.
Now we have two possibilities come November.
Either the current vicious psychopathic thug presently in the White House will remain to further tear the USA and the world apart... or Biden will take office and the hate-driven foreign policy of the Democrats will hold sway.
‘Way to go once again Bernie.
All because you failed to fight for what you said you believed in so strongly and knew were crucial for the USA and indeed for those the USA regularly crushes in the wider world. You walked up that political hill and you walked the talk to some degree, but you couldn’t find it in you to fight for what you believed in the that was needed. Your politeness subsequently allowed the evils you fought to triumph.
The polls show the secondary monster is leading the primary monster by quite a margin.
Either way, in November America gets a monster as president.
It could have been so different Bernie. But you failed to fight, you failed your base. And you failed those of us looking on hoping America would become a better place.
All because Bernie Sanders is a man without killer political instinct who capitulated and bent his knee to Biden.
