In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders raising money off of false hopes - why aren't we SCREAMING about this? [View all]Koinos
(2,792 posts)It saddens me even more when I realize that Sanders may not really care about the future, including the future of those who idolized him. He rode the wave of their anger and enthusiasm, and his inner tragic character faults have brought the whole thing to nothing. He could have been bigger than he was. He could have stirred up the noblest and most humane tendencies of his followers. He could have inspired them to work hard, to build, to create, to care. Instead, he turned them against practically every group that he has alienated himself from in the past. As Barney Frank said, Bernie alienates himself from his allies. Eventually, there is no one but Bernie. He is, has been, and -- in light of his demeanor in this primary -- will be a very lonely man. This is what anger without self-awareness does to a person.
