I will be tempted to look today at the Bernosphere, The Young Turks, Majority Report, etc. to see what dark conspiracies they invent to explain whatever about Iowa - I remember the ever metasticizing conspiracy invention among the Bernie Bots in 2016, they are pretty much children without any real regard for finding out what they're talking about before they replace their fantasies for reporting.
Will I? I suppose I should to see if they've learned a single thing, my guess is that they will prove they haven't.
The real left will be a left that can get elected, win control of congresses and legislatures, the federal Senate and state senates and the presidency and governorships. No other left now or in the history of "lefts" has been real. Those "lefts" which failed to do that have never been more than pipe dreams promising pie-in-the-sky while slamming other people for promising pie-in-the-sky. The difference being that a lot of those the secular-atheist-play-left slammed for what they did would, unlike that "left" give you at least a bowl of soup, some bread and maybe a place to sleep. I would love to know how often the Wobblies gave anyone pie. The play left is a total and complete fraud, the play-thing of affluent, white-collar, mostly white people, any practical work to do something for someone given up as soon as they leave college and start making money and paying off a mortgage or college loans.
Some of the worst of those go into "journalism" and some of the worst of those had to invent their own venues in podcasting or the like.
We have got to get a real left going, one which is disenchanted with Marxism, for a start, one which has the maturity to know that in the coming months, if Bernie Sanders, the carpetbagger of Vermont, gets the Democratic nomination, he has a whole life history of choices, memberships, associations, scribbling and recorded babbling for the Republican-fascists and the fascist media to put Trump back into office. You won't find that can be based on the "youth vote" it will have to come from people of maturity and it is my guess that you will find those mostly among religious liberals of some experience. I'd love to ask The Nuns on the Bus what they might think about what I just said. I'd love to hear what a group of those who run real religion based charities that serve the least among us would have to say on these issues. What Cenk and Sam, Ana and Michael have to say on it will, I can almost guarantee you, be stupid and useless for actually doing anything.
Vermont was colonized by play-lefties, I'd guess inspired by those two venerable, insufferably sanctimonious fatheads, Helen and Scott Nearing. That's how Bernie got there and that was the base of his political career. I know the type, the Nearings moved to Maine after they lived in Vermont, we have lots of them here, too. Most of them would, I doubt, be reliable volunteers for a weekly soup kitchen. I haven't ever seen many of those around here. Maybe they were but they learn something if they do instead of babble.
The prospects of Bernie Sanders winning the election is far lower than Bernie Sanders doing the typical play lefty thing, the only real presence the play-left has had in American politics, being a spoiler to put a Republican-fascist in office. The prospect of him not getting to November with another heart attack is a lot higher than him winning the election. That we are having to consider this, now, proves my point.
