"We're not Democrats " . . . " for ONE NIGHT in Vermont we did go into the Democratic Party"

The crew at Majority Report posted a clip that some twitter account has posted of him on a call in talk show in 1989 that they don't see what the problem is, concentrating on Bernie Sanders saying something nice about The Reverend Jesse Jackson and the Rainbow Coalition as they continue to miss what is obviously problematic about what he said about what the Burlington Bernie Sanders cult were up to by way of phony, temporary status as Democrats for purposes of ratfucking Democratic caucuses for ends other than those of actual Democrats, exactly what Bernie Sanders and his cult did in 2016, to such likely catastrophic results and which the old asshole and his ship of fools, including the Majority Reporters, are talking of doing again in 2020.   I have decided that this is going to be a decisive parting of the ways because I've seen the asshole, play-left do this kind of thing in 1968, 1972 (George McCovern's self criticism on his role in changing the rules for that year is well worth reading) in 1980 in 2000, in 2004, and in 2016.  And now, after seeing Trump in full effect, they're talking about another Bernie hijacking attempt in 2020.   Assholes and idiots all of them- what are they all trustifarians or something?

I have transcribed what Sanders said,  you can just imagine the internal debates in the Bernie cult in some small room in Burlington strategizing how to take over the Democratic Party for one night, using the anti-democratic process of the caucuses.  I will bet you that some of the same people said some of the same thing while they plotted his attempted hijacking in 2016 as Sanders depended on non-Democrats doing what his crew did in 1988

In Burlington we had a real debate about our attitude toward Jessie Jackson's campaign.  I think many of us were impressed by the positions that Jackson was bringing forth.  We Were were deeply impressed by the concept of of the Rainbow Coalition which I believe is exactly what has to be done in this country. And we were impressed by Jackson's charisma and his going into the ghettos and into the poor areas and speaking for the family farmers who were being thrown off of their land.   And that moved us very much.  The problem that we had is that, of course, Jackson was functioning within the Democratic Party and we're not Democrats.  So we had a discussion within our own organization and we ended up saying, yeah, we're not Democrats but we think that what  Jackson was doing was so important that we are going to support him.  And for one night in Vermont we did go into the Democratic Party and in fact Jackson ended up winning the Democratic caucuses.  So I was sympathetic to Jackson I agree with the concept of the Rainbow Coalition, I do disagree with Jesse in terms of whether the Democratic Party can be the real vehicle for social change.  I believe it should be a third party. 

And instead of starting a third party or taking over one - generally not hard to do considering almost all of them are Potemkin false fronts for fools to play with - he did what he did in 2016.

Of course there was all the difference between what Jackson did and what Sanders did is that Jackson was and remained a Democrat who had a legitimate right to run for the Democratic nomination.  Sanders is a phony who joins and drops out and will join again but is too much of a conceited egoist to remain in the party.

I used to have enormous respect for Bernie Sanders, we supposedly agree in almost all of the big issues, only I don't believe he really believes what he says since 2016.  I think it's all about him and his vanity.  If he runs in 2020 he will confirm that.

As for Majority Report, I draw the line at Republican-fascist and Trump enablement.   I think they're in it for what they figure will get them the most clicks.  They won't be getting them from me.
