"Bernie and Jane Sanders: The Democratic Party’s Thelma and Louise"-Michael Tomasky

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Michael Tomasky

As the Berniacs go nuts, Bernie himself is egging them on.
Now we are forced to ask whether Bernie Sanders has decided he wants to destroy the Democratic Party. I’m sure he would say he wants to save it. The way we saved villages in Vietnam. You know the quote.
I don’t allege that he decided to run as a Democrat for this reason. He did so, I’m told by those who’d know, because he did not want to be the 21st-century Ralph Nader and because he knew that running against Hillary Clinton would give him a much bigger stage on which to inveigh against the parasites.
That was then. But now, after the Nevada fracas and his gobsmacking statement in the wake of it, it’s remorselessly clear that he wants to obliterate the Democratic Party. Revolutions take on lives of their own. Robespierre never thought back in 1790 or ’91 that the guillotine would be needed. But as the dialecticians like to say, historical circumstances change. By 1793, those little sheep who’d been misled by sellouts like Danton were part of the…corrupt establishment.

3. The projection level...it's OVER 9000!!!

Also: who the fuck is Michael Tmasky, and why should anyone with an IQ greater than their shoe size care about his vacuous ramblings? Oh, right: he's the author of a fawning whitewash of a "biography" of Princess Weathervane. Go figure...
