A friend just sent this me and I see no lies…

9. That's quite some writing!

I gather that the writer doesn't like "Bernie Sanders' supporters".
Haha. That's a joke. Just in case a jury, or a mod, doesn't get it.

Chez Pazienza doesn't think that highly of "the left" in general, either.
He has a high opinion of himself, though, and of his disdain for others.

Now here's a thing that springs to my mind:
the fight of "the left" insofar as it has been correctly labelled as being the fight of the less wealthy, the disenfranchised, the various under-classes of the class-based political/economic system, has always known that some kind of absolute "win" is impossible and not even describable, and that the fight is always and by its very nature asymmetric, with established moneyed classes holding the key to power, the decision making capabilities. Those classes change over time, but the economic class based system abides (apologies to The Dude). To have contempt for "the left", to attribute all the insult Chez Pazienza lists to "the left" and to "Bernie supporters" is to level an insult at the history of the long struggle for greater (not lesser) democracy, toward fighting for and living in a country where there's a minimum conscionable standard of social security, of *belonging*, even for the most desperate of us, even for those going under.

So I don't really like Chez Pazienza's opinion piece. It doesn't cover issues - it attacks "supporters" on broad lines that are entirely cooked up.
