Anyone else lolling at all the articles whining about Bernie saying he will continue to run as a independent for US Senate?

It's not like he would get any advantage by being associated with the sad failing democratic party.

they can't grapple with the fact that Bernie Sanders has achieved a status without being a striving rule-follower, who licks boots and likes it

I think they might believe that their jobs are to coordinate the attention of people, to be trend-setters, political taste-makers, if you will. I imagine that if they consolidate their data centers, so to speak, by engaging in increasingly grating attacks, which are increasingly disconnected from reality, they will force Sanders to conform to their distended conception of his being. When Republicans reacted in the exact same way to Obama, I understood it, because right wing politics is never far from operating as a grift racket and people were making money selling bars of gold dipped in pig lard and shaped like guns so that the muslim government couldn't confiscate them. That poo poo ain't for us, but we get it.

Who is buying what poo poo in the Suck Zone though? I am not seeing the mechanism that is connecting the ogres and the Daouists to the dollars.

Both political parties are little more that graft machines at this point. They exist to enrich themselves, their friend, their donors, and the party apparatus at large. What was that about Neera Tanden making like $300k? Daou knows where his bread is buttered.

In general republicans have the upper hand in this. Their ideology and actions agree. Their stated goal is to make rich people richer, and they do! That they have somehow convinced a large portion of the public that this bullshit is in their best interests is an impressive slight of hand, but at least its somewhat consistent.

Dems on the other hand are in this position where they have to gaslight their own base that they are not doing the things they clearly are. Rhetoric and action are at odds with one another - and the only way people are going to swallow this poo poo mush longer is if it benefits them directly.

this is part of the subtext that I think sometimes gets forgotten, that the bad dems still like to think that they're good people who just are handicapped by a corrupt system, and the fact that Bernie is as popular as he is and got as close to winning as he did without selling his soul upsets them more than anything, because it's proof that their whole internal narrative is absolute horseshit.

just a reminder that the breaking news of the wells fargo scandal of defrauding literally millions of customers with fake accounts and fraudulently charging them fees happened under the obama department of justice. now we have news of fraudulently signing people up for auto insurance and poo poo. as far as I am aware, obama actively chose not to pursue criminal prosecution against wells fargo.
