Related: About this forumSen. Bernie Sanders Is Showing His True Colors
In spite of the fact that Bernie doesnt have a chance in hell of winning the nomination, instead of coming to help support the effort to get rid of a man who is so corrupt and delusional that he approached a German firm trying to buy the EXCLUSIVE rights to a cure to a world pandemic, Bernie is stomping his feet and complaining that hes the victim of voter suppression. How is that helping the people? Thats fanaticism and an overwhelming interest in self.
I previously supported Bernie, but during this national emergency (Trump), Bernie needs to take his ass home and pout in private THATS whats in the interest of the American people. If Bernie cant see that, everything else hes spewing is just political rhetoric designed to promote his own interests.
Our primary objective is to get Trumps ass out of office, and Bernie staying in the race and promising pie in the sky and free unicorn rides is not going to accomplish that objective. If Bernie really cared about the American people and all of the rhetoric hes spewing, hed stop being so divisive and place the interest of the American people above his hurt feelings and wounded ego.
Thats why about a month ago I turned my back on decades of support for Bernie. I believe in following truth wherever it leads and regardless of whos ox it gores. So after taking a fresh look at Bernie, I began to recognize that demagogues arent new in American politics, and weve got to learn to spot them, regardless to how painful it is to accept. After all, I owe my greatest loyalty to myself.

(87,309 posts)We are in the worst possible crisis. People are dying every day. Thousands including healthcare workers who are part of my family. Let the Revolution go Bernie we have far more important issues. We need to bury our dead and vote for a man that can help us today and then tomorrow. Dreams are great, this is not the time.
Let it Be. Bow out with the grace and honor you deserve. You are not in this time and place the man who has the answers. Dreams are not going to answer the horrific death toll we face.
Words of Wisdom...let it go. Go away.

(96,043 posts)Thank you for sharing it. The gentleman makes a lot of sense.
"From Bernies 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 dont 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."

(7,001 posts)I use to support him, but moved to Warren this time. I have sent letters to his Senate office in box and to info@ to pleased with him to join the team and work together to solve these issues. They need to hear this. He hears way too much from way too few

Haggis for Breakfast
(6,831 posts)When Nader got word that he was not going to get the nomination, he could have released his delegates (and many did ask) to go vote for Gore. He refused to release them, full well knowing that his was a lost cause. EGO. Even his best friend, Bob Reich, told him to release the people that want to be released and Ralph said "no." Bob later said it was all about Nader's all-consuming ego. I don't see how BS is doing anything different. The thing for Nader was - after the election, he became persona non gratis in the party. And stayed that way.

(9,916 posts)His work in the Auto industry was tremendous.......He forced major improvements in auto safety.
Then his ego, sadly, ran away from him.

(6,831 posts)He was truly a force for good science to triumph over profit bottom lines. If only he had remained true to that. Instead, he started to believe his own press profile.

(3,200 posts)While my dad (93) is a hard-core Berner, I have always been uneasy with what seemed to me to be a touch of fanaticism. That's one way in which he resembles the 'present occupant.'
His supporters' fanaticism and the tearing down of everyone but the object of their adulation is disturbingly similar to Trump's cult too.

DENVERPOPS
(9,916 posts)totally wrapped up in himself and is completely into self aggrandizing at this point. Sadly, the man has lost all self control and rational or reasonable thinking. My wife who is a long time Bernie Lover, told me after listening to Bernie a couple of weeks ago, she was voting for Biden. She also made an astonishing remark that Bernie was beginning to sound a lot like Trump........
