He slept a summer by my siiiide

He filled my days with endless wonder

He took my childhood in his striiiide

But he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he'll come to meeee

That we will live the years together

But there are dreams that cannot beeee

And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be

So different from this hell I'm liiiiving

So different now from what it seeeeemed

Now life

has killed

the dream

I still love Bernie but I still will never vote for Joe Biden for myriad reasons. I figured there would be some things I would disagree on with Bernie at some point, but this's one I'm not compromising with. I know it's important to get Trump out of the White House, but it's not as important as M4A and a living wage.

I'll still probably vote Bernie on November 8th, or Howie. I'm considering my two options.

Personally, I had resolved to write in Bernie, but someone on Twitter made the excellent point that nothing enrages libs like 3rd party votes, especially for the Greens. They pore over these votes with seething entitlement -- how they resent it, how DARE anyone, even independents, vote for anyone but a Democrat.

After all the Dem leadership and the shitbag colluding media did to run down Bernie...I want to twist the knife as much as I am able at this point.

Yeah I'm pissed. gently caress the corporatists.

also heads up: Unless the US dramatically tamps down on reopening the economy and relaxes Social Distancing, there’s a really good chance the primaries are just gonna be the WI primaries again: i.e. a frothing plague circus, and you’re out of your mind if you think I’m trudging through old Corona Bomb Boomers to cast a Simp vote for Bernie. I’m probably done voting in Presidential campaigns forever until someone with a real platform runs again.

I suspect any anti-vax tendency of the Green Party could be extinguished a lot easier than the corporate control of the Democrats

That said, even Jill Stein wasn't antivax, though she is overly conciliatory towards "alternative medicine"

Real Bernie and the Bernie that exists in the heads of the online left have always been as different as Real Biden and Onion Biden. Sadly, American politics is such that Real Bernie is still one of the best options we've had.

You think you can take me at Satan's Hollow? Go 'head on!
Bernie is as socialist as FDR was, probably less so. American Culture just broke all our brains to the point where socialists were all "gently caress YYYYYYEAH SOCIALISM" and everybody to the right of Chapo was calling for the heads of all the American Soviets.

Me I just want free taxpayer funded healthcare and to not die of exposure or starvation in the coming climate apocalypse, but I guess that's too much to ask and it's literally the least thing I could ask for. I just want to be healthy and to not die.

start telling people that yeah of course it's customary for candidates to triangulate to the centre to win the general election, and so since biden is a right-wing conservative that means he should be moving left and adopting some progressive policies if he wants to win in november

I'm fairly sure a lot of that reputation was because Jill Stein wasn't mean to antivaxxers on the internet, and anyway Jill Stein won't be the green candidate this year.

We have a green party thread which is a great place to ask questions and/or shitpost

There was vastly, vastly more projection into Bernie than Warren if only because of the ideological intensity of his supporters.

:hampants::hampants::hampants:
This isn't the thread to relitigate the foibles and failings of the various candidates in the Democratic primary (and boy is there more than enough blame to go around) but I don't think it's far-fetched to say that Bernie's supporters drew from a pool that included a great number of people that were leftists first and Democracts second (if at all) and Warren supporters drew from a lot of Democrats who liked to pretend they were leftists and the consequence of that is that the latter group were always going to be willing to be pragmatic about tolerating a move to the middle and eventually voting for whichever Democrat won the primary (albeit with held noses) and the former who were going to say things like "I'm glad Bernie endorsed Joe Biden because now I won't have to be sad when he dies" and threaten to vote in any other number of directions.

In a Democratic primary process for President, the idea that your candidate will not line up behind the ultimate nominee of the process and kiss the ring is a significant act of projection.

It's also worth stating that Warren has very few supporters compared to Sanders. Paltry. Equivalent to Bloomberg's late run that outright bought voters.
