Right, so when does he stop own-goaling the party that he has again separated himself from to help in the fight against Trump?

LOL…
I’ll give up on the Bernie hate when he stops hating on the Democratic party and when Bernie supporters who claim they are not Berniebros stop the pathetic Hillary snark.

It’s not hate. He simply stated some basic facts: The Democratic party didn’t contribute to KS-04 - that was a strategic decision on their part. Disagree with them if you must…personally, I think he was off the mark here - getting involved nationally would have only helped the GOP candidate in KS-04 because the DNC/DCCC is a fucked up pair of entities right now and they would have screwed the pooch. What he needed was a little silent money to help GOTV and he might have pulled off the Hail Mary and won the race…but definitely not a huge opportunity.

Back to Bernie - I disagree on KS-04…if it was on his radar he should have made a trip out to KS…but he didn’t, because it’s fucking Kansas.

As far as ‘own goaling’ his party goes, he’s not the biggest problem Democrats have right now…he’s a voice that gets attention. Maybe working with him to escalate messaging might be a better strategy than leaving him out there as the only consistent progressive voice against Trump. Everyone else is split between hating Trump and hating Sanders…why does that make sense?

Remember, this is politics - you don’t have to, nor should you necessarily - love the person fighting for you in government. Take any personal animosity against Sanders and shove it right up there in the collective sphincter of outrage next to my animosity toward Clinton. It’s not helpful…trust me. Or don’t. Doesn’t matter. We’re all just Internet noise at the end of the day.
