On one list serve I frequent there is a growing discussion about Bernie Sanders, Biden, and the likelihood that the corporate-dominated Democrat National Committee (DNC) will do a backroom deal and appoint their next presidential candidate - done under 'extraordinary circumstances'. Here is my response to one man who was defending Bernie and mourning the deflating of his campaign.
Bernie endorsed and campaigned for Hillary – she opposed his key
priorities
In the last debate Bernie said he’d support Biden for prez – who has said,
among other ramblings, that he would veto Medicare for All if elected
Bernie complained in the Senate hearings about, and then voted for, the
recent 2-4-6 trillion dollar corporate bailout....
Bernie missed his chance to be a real leader for the people – people have
grown tired of his continued caving's – he missed the historical moment when he
was most needed
People that know, say Bernie is a go-along to get-along kind of guy.
I thank him for talking up Medicare for All and many other needed
programs
But when questioned about how he’d pay for these proposals – rarely since
2016 has he laid a strong glove on the Pentagon and empire
I don’t mourn for Bernie
We need folks who will push the powerful even harder
Our lives are at stake
