Who are those consultants? We need to brigade them, in Minecraft of course.
I love Bernie but unless you live in Vermont, his presence is now irrelevant, and the DNC isn't going to allow another one of him to spring up again.
Then the DNC will die, and good fucking riddance.
I too want to blame Obama. But Obama actually somewhat tried
Obama was behind the initial push to get rid of Biden and hold an open primary. The writing was on the wall. Absolutely no way Biden could win.
People like Bernie worked against Obama to keep Biden. Only after months, and the entire party having to admit Biden was a lost cause at the CNN debate, they swapped out Biden for Kamala instead of holding an open election.
By endorsing Kamala from the top down and pressuring all democrats to "fall in line for unity" we ended up with one of the worst possible candidates. Kamala was deeply unpopular in 2020.
You can blame Bernie instead of Obama for this loss.
Is Bernie is an accelerationist?
Bernie is a grifter. Instead of looking for alternatives all the little mice now get behind the Sanders.
The Pied Piper will sell them out in 2028 and endorse a Republican once more.
Day late and dollar short. Bernie was the first in line to endorse the big donor tent.
Bernie is part of that coalition of big money. Brother endorsed Kamala the whole time, refused to pressure her and refused to call the war on Gaza a genocide. He should eat his own dogfood.

He very explicitly and clearly denounced Israel's actions and called out exactly what is happening. He endorsed Kamala despite having different views on the issue, not because of it.
