I hope (hope) that all the burgers who were excited for Bernie in 2016 and 2020 also knew that Bernie was never some perfect or magical or revolutionary figure.
People on the CTH subreddit back then would get sooooo mad if you tried to tell them Bernie was just a socdem. So many people convinced he was the real deal and "hiding his power level" or whatever.
What's so funny is if you accept this logic, then he's always "hid" it but never actually taken the mask off, even for a moment, to use the weight of that grassroots movement behind him for anything meaningful. Under that assumption, if he's a secret Marxist revolutionary, what fuckin good is it if he never uses that momentum, that knowledge and conviction for anything? He got ratfucked by the DNC establishment, TWICE, and both times immediately tucked his tail between his legs and talked up his "good friend" Genocide Joe. Well shit if he's hiding his power level he's sure playing the long long game with it! A long game he can't afford and makes no sense at his age!
I pray this election cycle is so fucking silly that it knocks a lot of people out of faith in the Western electoral system

I mean, that's just what he is. I hope those people have become more educated since then on socialism/marxism/etc.
I'd like to think we have, eh?
