The 2020 Democratic platform will be the most progressive it’s ever been yet they’ll claim it’s right wing. Honestly, they are going to be why their movement dies. I wish people would actually look at what Bernie’s record in Congress. They just see the voting record and gush and ignore the lack of legislation passed.

The biggest issue with the “movement” is that their figurehead is a frail, old man whose demise will leave them with no appointed successor. What’s worse is that, in trying to prop up his ego-driven vanity project of a campaign, his surrogates promoted the worst impulses of his fans to attack and destroy those who might have been willing to take up the torch upon his retirement/demise. But no, they’ll have nothing to do with this “movement,” so when he finally shuffles off his mortal coil, they’ll be left searching for a new “messiah.”
