Great piece and synopsis of where we are and how we got here. It was a heartfelt tragedy each time the Democratic Party elite cut Bernie off at the knees. I was one of the dummies who advised in a Bernie poll that he should run as a Democrat so as to not be labeled a spoiler. I, like Bernie and many of his followers had not yet gotten the memo of where the party was. We needed to get to this point to realize how badly we had been betrayed by the Democratic Party. The party a majority had been aligned with, perhaps lifelong. I actually feel bad for Bernie at this point. Putting his faith in a party who would undermine him at every turn. Kind of seems like he succumbed to a bit of Stockholm Syndrome. Still supporting Biden and taking the Squad with him. It’s terrible where we have arrived. I would love to see a coalition of third parties come together to form a front to the failed duopoly. Is it too much to ask? I for one would support it.

Come on. Give Bernie more credit. Its not Stockholm, its transactionalism. He is constantly in the minority and used to taking what he can get. I disagree with that approach, but then again, he has a legislative record as the Amendment King. So, lets give him some credit.
