I remember reading his book and thinking that shit the whole time. I realized though that the book wasn't for me - it was for dumbass libs. And that shitty rhetoric, too - not for us, for the libs. Not excusing it necessarily.
Well, not at all actually. It's bad. I literally changed my mind midway through writing that comment.
I'm not asking him to issue a fatwah against the Democratic party, but he put the fucking kiddie gloves on when he needed to go hard on Biden. I still think he's better than anyone in Washington, but Bernie had twice the vigor or more when he was running against Hillary. His own staff was trying to get him to go on the offensive, but he didn't listen.
Every single media outlet was saying "Bernie can't beat Trump, Bernie will ruin the economy, a socialist cannot win." Then he goes out says "yeah Biden could beat Trump." If he had enough passion to go after Hillary, then he could have at least pretended to put up a fight against Biden. Instead he gave away the farm.
All it really would have done is burnt any bridges Bernie has with the new administration. It would have made him pretty much powerless with no real connections.
He played himself. Glad I spent hours campaigning for Bernie, but not glad it was wasted because he couldn't stop calling Biden his friend.

A politician noted for being widely liked turning into an asshole; what could go wrong?
