Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Sanders: I'm sorry that Hillary CLinton is rerunning 2016. [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)basically just Republicans with pretensions of being something better. Long ago I read everything I could find on him, and since read much more that's turned up, and he's constantly full of blame and accusations: against Democrats, never for himself. 2016 wasn't even the first election "the only progressive leader" helped throw to anti-progressive Republicans by running a splinter candidacy. Knowing and accepting the consequences. But those are never his fault, they're ours.
He's been not "getting" so many of these "its" for so long, ignoring decades of massive contradictions of reality to his peculiar beliefs, that I have come to think he really does, inside, believe everything he says, even if the outer Sanders is capable of hedging his statements when called out by interviewers.
And while I've never been able to guess why he believes he chose to try to destroy the ACA, instead of say focusing on the tiny issue of income inequality, I'd bet my checkbook he doesn't know the truth of that either.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
