Bernie is still in it but last night was a sting. From my point of view and I don’t wanna get into a capitalist v socialism debate with fellow toffees in here but I’ve always looked at political elections in my country and yours with apathy. I’ve always looked at it as the system being the system. Controlled by money. The people controlled and exploited. Couldn’t imagine someone with true socialist ideas especially in the states would ever get far. I always thought it would take a full scale revolution that wasn’t coming with how docile the people were. Still have faith but if Bernie loses and the country sees fit to think Biden is A. Good for the people and B. Able to beat trump. Then capitalism’s grip is as strong as I use to always think.
See, the thing is, I agree with all of this,
My problem is how Sanders is going about it. He should have joined the party and worked from within, building alliances, working on compromise and unified change.
I'm eternally grateful that he moved the needle so far left and inspired the likes of AOC to get in to the game. But I'm frustrated by his stubbornness and his unwillingness to work with the establishment rather than fight against it.
I see it as an opportunity missed. It's frustrating when you live here and bring up kids here and I'm getting middle fingers for my opinion.
If you still cant see the flaws in Sanders, there's not much more I can say.
