    Obviously you learned nothing.

    Socialists failed to get the vote out for Bernie, even when they knew it would be an uphill fight.

    Now they are failing again.

    I wish I had the privilege of being safe enough not to have to worry about Trump deputizing a bunch of Red Hats and doing mass arrests.

      Bernie is not a socialist. Bernie is and always has been a sheepdog. He’ll spout all of these socialist leaning tidbits of rhetoric then support those that we are fighting against.

        So, you had a chance to get a Left leaning pol elected, and threw it away because he wasn’t perfect?

        What am I missing here?

          He is a DNC sheepdog, The DNC has had a sheepdog every election. A somewhat progressive sounding voice to give disenfranchised Democrat voters the illusion that if they stick around long enough, they might eventually get a seat at the table. And sheepdogs always sheepdog until it’s too late to form outside coalitions from the party, allowing enough time for ballot access. And now that it’s too late for those outside coalitions, their true colors come bleeding through.
