(2,809 posts)how he's going about this. If we want to win in 2020 people need to stop being stupid and waiting for some magical message about whats going on and go ahead and grow up. If we keep treating them like babies they are going to vote like babies.
Part of the apathy in this country comes not just from how the two parties do things but people who worry more about what's good for them personally than everybody else. When Bernie wouldn't concede in 2016 he made it about him rather than the good of the country. When he attacks his "team" he's not doing anything to move the party left. He's doing it to court those mythical Obama/trump voters that are too stupid to understand who is sticking it to them and why. Bernie could dourt them until the cows came home if he told them that they were being lied to and why.
He probably won't because they don't want to hear that they made a garbage vote for garbage reasons and he wants their vote now. If he won they would do to him what they did to Obama. Not to the degree they refused to hear Obama(we all know why), but when they don't get instant gratification from his policies they'll stick their heads right back in the sand and vote GOP.
We can't trust these people to not get us all killed for their addiction to ignorance gullibility. Bernie pandering to them is only going to disenfranchise some solid always Democratic voters. If he doesn't like the Democratic Party he should run as an Independent and work on the appropriate framework associated with it rather than pipping around for the Democratic nomination while taking a crap on it at every turn. He's being disingenuous to keep at it like this and then want the Democratic nomination.
