Democratic Primaries

People are aware that 'Bernie' is doing what he can to knee-cap the nominee of the Democratic Party for President. It is something the effort to turf out the cheap thug Trump can do without. At his point, his sole reason for remaining in the contest is to do harm to the 'Democratic Establishment', which he views as the chief obstacle to the success of progressive policies. For 'Bernie', opposing the christo-fascist reactionary right is an afterthought. He does not even really feel it can done, or at least done right, until the 'Democratic Establishment' is overthrown.


"This pretense of not knowing what any fool knows has become predominant in our political discourse."





"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
