A Message for Bernie Supporters Who Have Kicked, Screamed And Run
First, for the fair-weather Berners:
I am sick and tired of the sheer idiocy of some of the so-called Bernie Sanders “supporters” who, just because they didn’t get their way, have turned on the man they claimed they would follow to the ends of the earth. But now, since he had the temerity to come in second, he is a sell out. And Elizabeth Warren, who has fought for consumer rights and introduced a bill to reinstate Glass Steagall, is a Republican. These disgruntled crybabies are saying they think Hillary is a worse threat than Donald Trump.
There’s the butt-hurt wing. “I am on Social Security and I’ve sent money to Bernie but not another dime! He BETRAYED me!”
Then there’s the insanity wing. “Bernie only endorsed $hillary because he was threatened.”
There are the people who are saying Bernie should run as a third-party candidate, something he expressly said he would not do.
So now, instead of praising Bernie as being a man who stands by his word, something that those “supporters” held in such high esteem, he’s a coward for not going back on his word. You just can’t win with some people. I often wonder if they were ever Bernie supporters at all and think that maybe they are just right wing plants who want to throw a monkey wrench into a movement they fear.
