How? If it's the one I'm thinking of, it doesn't even say anything bad about him. "Bernie said mean things about Clinton" pffft. He's been weak on Clinton; look at the way Trump treats his opponents.
"Bernie chose to initiate the debate against Trump!!!"
And this is a bad thing why? Trump backed out and looked cowardly. This wasn't a bad thing for Bernie, wasn't a bad thing for Clinton, and if anything, slightly weakened Trump, which is a good thing for Bernie and Clinton.
"Bernie is damaging the Democratic party!!!"
Bernie isn't a Democrat. He's an independent socialist. There is no real reason he should prop up the corrupt elements in the Democratic party.
"Bernie wants to win!!!"
Oh god, what a sin in a political candidate.
LMAO. What in the Politico piece was shocking? Did you think Bernie was a doddering old grandpa, with the campaign staff controlling everything? Jesus.

(Anonymous) 2016-06-09 11:46 am (UTC)(link)By "corrupt elements," you mean people who called him names? Because that's absolutely ridiculous.
Or do you mean the closed primary system, his other "big enemy?" Closed primaries are there to prevent sabotage by rival parties, which is absolutely something that happens in open primaries. They also had their rules set years ago and all public record, and he's the one who chose to ignore registration deadlines. Funnily enough, it doesn't appear to be caucuses, which by their very nature exclude large portions of voters who can't take hours of their time to stand in a crowded room culminating in a vote by voice.
But, yeah, keep telling yourself that the system is corrupt, and that's totally worth destroying everything he worked for his whole life (well, other than dumping toxic waste close to Hispanic communities that are too poor to fight back, of course). I mean, it's not like there's one or more Supreme Court seats up for grabs.

(Anonymous) 2016-06-09 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)Bernie isn't a Democrat.
He is a Democrat, though? Has been for about a year so he could run for prez as a Dem.
Look, I'm sympathetic to Bernie's problem: he wanted to run to call attention to issues he considers very important and it would bring more media attention to run in a majority party. But the end of his campaign has been more than a little sad because he's railing against a process he was fully aware of before he ran and specifically chose. I want him to go out with some grace and dignity, and work hard on getting his causes into the party platform.
