Bernie's got news for the Democratic establishment.

70. And he dosen't change what he's saying.

You can't say anything bad about anyone but Bernie Sanders. That's their version of unity in the democratic party. Geeze! They think the biggest problem is, “if Bernie wins, where will he take the Democratic Party”? Global warming can wait…

Bernie hasn’t changed his message in 40 yrs. It’s called being consistent, and believing in what you are saying, because it is your message not someone else’s. Not being willing to “compromise” or sell-out in order to win.
Some interesting ideas I got from reading and summarizing an article:

JACOBIN:

Why They Hate Bernie
ByBranko Marcetic

"MSNBC’s Joy Reid was once a fan of Sanders, calling him “the great clarion voice in the Democratic Party,” before transitioning to attacking him full time. In fact, the network loved having him on during the Obama years to serve as the voice of ordinary progressives, offering him unqualified praise as late as 2014 for being a “bipartisan dealmaker” and securing “genuine progressive victories” as a senator.

What happened? One answer is that many prominent Democrats and liberals don’t want the things they say they want — whether it’s because it might alienate their donors, hamper their future money-making prospects, or both. Another answer is that, until 2016, Sanders wasn’t considered a threat to Democratic politics as usual.

The Democratic establishment was fine with Sanders when he was just a lonely voice fighting for progressive values, as long as the gravy train for consultants, lobbyists, donors, and former politicians kept on running. But once he went from just a voice in the wilderness to the head of a movement that threatened to upend this arrangement, something had to be done. This was why the prevailing media narrative around Sanders swiftly changed as his chances increased over the course of 2016."
