Bernie Turned Progressive Movement Into ‘Rotting Corpse’
2022-11-20


This is what the left let happen to them. This was the only part of national politics that represented them, and what happened? Bernie and the Squad sold out. Shockingly cheaply. They joined the Sith DC establishment. The man should be asking "who paid you, Bernie?"

"There is always money for war. You never hear political leaders say they can't go to war because the country can't afford it. They claim not to have money for the poor, homeless and hungry, but war? It's never a problem."

-- David Icke

Space Lizardoid conspiracy theorist David Icke is a good match for Israel-hating Red Diaper Baby Norman Finkelstein, PhD, whose rant against Stalinist Bernie Sanders is much approved by Progressive comedian Jimmy Dore in this attack from the historically corrupt far left on the equally corrupt but slightly different far left. Enjoy — remembering along the way that Stalin partnered with Hitler to divide Poland before Stalin pivoted to partner with the Allies to divide Germany.

Point of information: I’m sorry that we lost half of your headline, Spike the Hairy6811, but for some reason Rantburg cuts off anything that follows a double quotation mark. Please use single quotes instead, or use two single quotes if you really like that look. If you put what it should have been in comments, one of the moderators will add it back.

#3  Progressivism is just another form of totalitarianism, all dolled up. It never ends well. It did not work in the Thousand Year Reich, or the USSR. Of course, it is still around in places like Cuba, Venezuela and NKor, but none of them are exactly drawing crowds.

OF course, it is trying to emerge here, but that's neither a fait accompli nor any more likely to succeed long-term if it does emerge here.

I'm still betting against it, long-term.

#2  Two problems - progressivism has been a rotting course since Woodrow Wilson’s presidency. Bernie may have damaged the movement but is too young to have made it into the zombie that it continues to be. Secondly, AOC is totally prefabricated. Saying that she sold out is like berating the Monkees for betraying their musical roots or complaining about the commercialization of Scooby Doo.

#1  Who's censoring my comments?

I repeat:

"There is always money for war. You never hear political leaders say they can't go to war because the country can't afford it. They claim not to have money for the poor, homeless and hungry, but war? It's never a problem."

This is a true statement. It is not a communication from the lizard people.
