53. 'Bernie' Conducts Himself As An Enemy, Sir

Thu Mar 26, 2020, 12:27 PM

Mar 2020

It is not possible to deny he takes the 'Democratic Establishment' as his enemy, and believes that its chief goal is to thwart the advance of liberal and progressive causes. The man has said it often enough it is only courteous to believe him. Coming drunk with petty triumph out the Nevada caucus he announced the 'Democratic Establishment' couldn't stop him, and he was gunning for them. This is not a circular firing squad, this is two lines of musketeers squared off across an open field. If 'Bernie' does not drop his crusade against the 'Democratic Establishment' he is in effect the left auxiliary of the Republican Party, as any good Leninist would calmly observe. If he will not remove himself as a threat to a unified effort against Trump, his followers must be brought to see what he actually is, and so pull his teeth and render him harmless through his lack of dedicated audience.

"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."

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
