Bernie has been mobilized to do what he always does: re-direct activist energy into the Democratic Party so they can snuff it out (and bring in donations).

He is actively working against progress, while pretending to work for it.

This dude is 100% right.

It may not be why Bernie does it but it’s why they allow him to exist. He is a pressure release valve so people angry enough to do something can follow him instead of Luigi.

Then, when the primaries are rigged against him the DNC leadership can say look, you lost fair and square! voters don’t want progress and continue serving the rich.

Meanwhile, liberals, progressives, leftists, and everything not pro fascists blame each other for losing an election that was stolen.

Around 3/4ths of theft in this country is wage theft by corporations that will never be punished. They steal trillions from us while we would be jailed for a loaf of bread in some jurisdictions.

Inflation paired with wage suppression is class warfare in a battle of attrition. Liberals that refuse to raise taxes on corporations or wages for workers just legitimize exploitation.

Ascribing malice to Bernie is a very dubious (read: wrong) claim, but unfortunately in terms of results that’s basically what’s happening. Working within the two-party system is never going to produce material results.

the problem with ascribing ignorance over malice is that for all intents and purposes when it comes to politics, the effects are still the same

Then you should look up footage of how Bernie treats people to his left, and attacks activists for asking him why he’s not keeping his promises.
