Bernie Refuses to Say That a Democratic Presidency Is More Important Than a Sanders Presidency

22. "Bernie" says or doesn't say, a lot of things.

During one rousing speech, about green energy, he said we could "get trucks off the road" and This is the crux of the problem. Yes, absolutely we need to go green. We need to do it now, and if the truth is known, we needed to do it a long time ago because we've started a process that we may be too late in stopping. Because, as you know--there is the rest of the world.

But "trucks off the road" as part of a stump speech, should include where and how the trucking industry will be retrained, where those jobs will go, what they will be replaced with.

There is no "ever after" with Sanders. No addressing of fallout. Only simple answers to complex situations. President Obama made a start with his green energy programs. Building and expanding on those, while creating jobs is the way to go--the only successful pathway I can see.

He should back the Democratic Party, but he doesn't, and I believe he doesn't because he is, after all, who he is--an enemy of the so-called status quo (another simplistic view that only harms). He literally can't say "At this point in History, electing Democrats in the most important thing we can do for our country, the most important thing we can do for the world"--not and maintain the luxury of being the "outsider". Part of this is has to be ego, because Sanders clearly knows how politics works, has to know that 'tearing it all down" is not going to get green legislation passed in time. We are out of time. This kind of hypocrisy is what I find ultimately frustrating, he says the right things, but pretends there is an instant pathway to those things. His obstructionist nature will set back progress decades, and I can't begin tell you how relieved I am he won't be the nominee.
