"A few years later, I was living in a Northeastern University campus apartment in Boston. I had cable for the first time in my life. I was watching a late-night talk show. This brash, quirky senator with a thick Brooklyn accent explained that, not only was he an elected official with no party affiliation, he’s a democratic socialist!" (Chris Sosa)

in addition to the humorous quote above, what's very funny is this person's embrace of democratic socialism/bernie sanders: a most short lived experience as it existed somewhere between support for hillary clinton in 2008 and this current primary season's support for hillary clinton

1. So?

Let them vote for the lesser. They must love being lied to, so they made the right choice.

2. Falls right in line with feeling sorry for people who believe Bernie. Right on cue.

After all once a person quits living in a fantasy world and comes back to reality, they learn to LOVE Hillary.

3. This is another bullshit "I like Bernie BUT..." situation.

I doubt the author was ever in Bernie's camp - he's just another shill.

4. Well, I am not good with Hillary's proclivity for war and fracking and the TPP.

So, feh.

That whole article is kind of puke-a-licious. IMO and all that. Almost delusional.

bernie receives the support of the millenials. hillary gets the dellusionals

secretary clinton's proclivity for war was evidenced in her commercial. "this house". reminds us of kissinger's war(s)

6. Turns out he's another fake supporter who lied, he used the hashtag #Hillary2016 last year:

Sosa’s Twitter timeline is full of tweets in which he complains about Sanders supporters harassing him. But, in the words of a former boss, Bernie Bros are like unicorns, we all know what they look like, but no one has actually seen one.

How likely is it he was ever a Democratic Socialist who switched allegiance to Hillary Clinton? You decide.

The point of this post is to show yet another example of what money in politics is doing to the press. Lies are printed on a fairly regular basis now, by known and obscure personalities alike. Paul Krugman saw phantom ugliness on Senator Sanders’ Twitter timeline. Chris Sosa had a phantom past in which he was a Democratic Socialist.

The New York Times has printed plenty of spurious pieces, and was even caught transforming the original writing of one of its own to fit its anti-Sanders view, all before the eyes of its readership. Salon, Mother Jones, HuffPo, DailyKos and a slew of other publications are rife with anti-Sanders slanted work by people who, when you scratch the surface, have some connection to the Clintons.

But, really, is there is no one at Salon who could do just a little fact-checking? It wasn’t hard to find that photo of Sosa and Chelsea. Oh, and on his Twitter profile, Sosa includes a link to his own blog at Huffington Post. How come his Sanders piece wasn’t posted there? How did he get to have a HuffPo blog of his own? So many questions…

Chris Sosa ?@ChrisSosa

Chillin' with @ChelseaClinton, by which I mean we're joyfully baking in the hot, blinding sun! #Hillary2016
