Is this all because Bernie endorsed ONE LOCAL CANDIDATE IN A LOCAL RACE

[frazzled]

32. No, it was because

He used a big, nationally advertised "Unity Tour" to expend the so-called "unity" on holding a giant rally to promote a minor municipal election with a candidate he extols as "progressive"—by his own calculation, not that of the vast base of the Democratic Party—and at the same time neglects to extend the same "unity" shtick to a very important big-time Congressional race that could help to turn the tide for control of Congress and send a real shot across the bow, claiming (after the shit hit the fan, of course) well, there are Democrats and Democrats and he doesn't know if the other guy is progressive enough.

This is not unity. Unity is not using some local election to get back on the stump and repeat your (losing) primary bromides once again. Unity is not getting in front of the cameras at every opportunity to castigate the party you are supposed to be unifying (to which you do not even belong) for being "weak" and wrong.

Is there something about this you don't get? Is the hypocrisy and self-serving, authoritarian nature of it not clear? Does the idea that social justice needs to go hand in hand with economic justice not a guiding principle of progressivism?
