"If Bernie was trying to blow up the Democratic Party, then all the people supporting him are complicit and you'll need to blame them all."
No; I need to blame the ones who were acting out on TV last night. Or maybe I do need to blame Bernie. Never once did he say "Don't boo, vote". This bad behavior is a direct reflection of the man. It doesn't do a hell of a lot of good to wait until the first night of the convention to tell your unruly children, "Your booing is an embarrassment", after they've been behaving badly for 5 months.
"I am asking all of us to bear that in mind while we are on the floor of the convention. Our credibility as a movement will be damaged by booing, turning of backs, walking out or other similar displays. That's what the corporate media wants. That's what Donald Trump wants. (And that's exactly what he got, right when the former CIA director was talking about Trump, Putin, emails, and national security.) But that's not what will expand the progressive movement in this country."

Uh, uh. Too late. this should have been done after the Nevada caucus, and at every speech.
"Bernie was not trying to blow up the party"
LMAO. That might have been true the day he announced, but it rang a little hollow by the time he got to Calif, and "I'm running to change the US" became "I'm running to change the party".
Bernie enters stage left, throws some bombs, and exits stage left, never having joined the party. |
