Bernie Sanders just confirmed every negative thing I’ve ever written about him

[Koinos]

40. I think the crowds and cheering have gotten to his brain.

He thinks that, if he leads by pushing the right buttons, everyone else will follow. He doesn't think he needs the Democratic party or even the House and Senate. Young people in the streets and in the social media will bully people and legislators into accepting his ideas.

He was never a real leader in the Senate. He was outspoken, but not all that effective. He was an outsider in a system that requires insider knowledge. He certainly was no Ted Kennedy.

I think he believes that he alone is right and that everyone who disagrees with him is wrong. That is not what the art of politics is all about. Non-compromise doesn't work very well in politics or in any kind of relationship, including marriage.

While in Vermont, he suffered through years of poverty and immersion in socialism. I watched and listened to his entire video about Eugene Debs. It was an eye opener.

He is right about the overweening power of the obscenely wealthy, but I also get the idea that he has a personal grudge against all rich people in general. I don't blame him. Poverty can do that to you.
