Thank you, Bernie!! -- Bernie Sanders Shares His Blueprint for Resisting Trump

[synergie]

41. Ah, but I'm not attacking any progressive. I am however tweaking those that

actually spend a lot of time and effort attacking actual progressives, real Democrats and who apparently were not so concerned with the actual right wing threat when it could have been stopped.

All this religious fervor and praise heaped on a man who didn't actually do the work that he's being praised for is troubling. Do you feel proud of yourself for attacking someone *making fun* of those who seek to pretend that the actual grass roots organizers who worked hard for the campaign against right wingers, Russians and purists, who picked themselves up after the devastating loss by 70,000 votes, hundreds of thousands of votes not counted or supressed, and knit the hats, organized the marches, traveled and then went home, got their friends and families together to make phone calls, organize town halls and applied the ACTUAL pressure to achieve our goals, was the work of some Senator who didn't have anything to do with it?

None of them did, this was us, do you feel proud to cheat us of the credit for our good and hard work?


Praise Bernie all you want, I'm sure many will enjoy seeing him and hearing him at his nationwide media and book tour, go buy his book, attend his speeches, whatever you'd like, but please spare me the scolding for calling out the silliness of those who seem to be waxing ridiculous by heaping praise upon his hallowed head for things he did not do.

Attacking actual lifelong progressives out there doing the work, making the calls, writing the letters, post cards, emails, and showing up every week at the offices to make their voices heard is nothing to be proud of. Regardless of which side you supported in the primary, it's beyond pointless to be carrying out that animosity 5 months later, to pretend that the people doing the work are nothing, while the man that didn't have anything to do with, and who never claimed to, should be praised.
