Best bit was when the Vice reporter whined about the how it was the most negative campaign being run right now.

As if people like Kissinger or Joe Biden deserve a hands off approach

If only there was a candidate that is willing to address the positive aspects of our many war criminals

The thing about those conspiracies is that there will never really be enough evidence to prove it but it so totally fits with what we do actually know of letter agency action and bush family history that i cant like fault anyone for making the leaps even if i cant like let myself go that far without more proof.

I kinda hope that's just a strategic announcement to get rid of the dismissive "He's just a protest candidate that doesn't belong in the debates," and as a way of getting actual concessions from left sympathetic candidates. A cynical Sanders campaign for example could just say "We don't need to change anything, we're automatically getting Gravel's endorsement" for if Mike is set to auto-drop out after the second primary and just endorse the left-most candidate.
Gravel has a ton of problems that don't matter when he's not really gonna be president, and unless his platform is "I am a mentally feeble old man, and these rude and rowdy teens are gonna use me as a literal puppet to make good things happen," he's not gonna fly as a real candidate

good thing he's already said that exact same thing in the vox interview

e: also it's exactly for that reason. Bernie doesn't need to move left because the left has no where else to go but the joke candidate gravel or warren who won't stop stepping on rakes. actually running let's him peel off some people from bernie in polls and forces bernie to at least take a more forceful stand on imperialism.

Was there a more recent interview in light of the new announcement? Just curious, but hell this is also what Sanders did in 2016. When he first started running it literally was just to shift the overton window, but he had to say he was trying for reals, then when it turned out Clinton was such a lovely candidate with an incompetent campaign that refused to shift leftward, he geared up (a bit too late) with a real campaign that still did better than it had any real right to in spite of the game being rigged.

You don't have to worry about it, the clown car solves this problem by itself, and he can't actually afford to run long enough to even be in the running by the first primary.

If it was just Bernie and Biden, I'd be potentially concerned about this, but relax, Gravel is no threat at all to Bernie's chances. If anything, he can only do great things for Bernie's chances by getting on that stage and verbally destroying Joe Biden live in front of millions.

having gravel and bernie in the same debate as biden is like if you had piccolo from the future and piccolo from the present fighting frieza. Future piccolo, ready to go all out in one last fight can take his weighted outfit off and not hold back, which present piccolo can keep his weighted outfit on for the fight and rapidly build up his power level for the bigger opponent.

this is peak political analysis
