"As a fellow survivor, I forgot that what binds us is our shared trauma. But for most of America, Donald Trump was that trauma..."

    First, they will relitigate 2016 with the “Bernie didn’t do enough to help Biden,” despite my being bombarded with Bernie emails pushing Biden and anti-Trump.

    Bernie has done so much damage to his brand since conceding just to bend the knee and kiss the ring. "Most progressive candidate in American history", etc. Almost. Almost made me not like him anymore. But it's so crazy to think how ridiculous it'll be for them to play that card.

      That's why he bent the knee -- to prevent this from working.

      They already tried it after 2016 and it never really caught on because Bernie went out of his way to campaign for Clinton. They're going to try it again and it'll fail again for the same reason. Bernie is smart enough to know that taking your ball and going home only hurts you when you've already lost. If he went up on stage and called Biden a rapist he'd poison the well for the next quarter century of leftists.

      It's not pretty, but there are no pretty solutions anymore.
