I have been through Bernie Sanders disqualifications to be the PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE of a party he has pointedly refused to join except to run presidential campaigns and to cynically use the anti-democratic caucuses and the total idiocy of open registrations that enable non-Democrats like him to ratfuck wins in those. As was seen in that call-in show from 1989 I posted a video of that tactic is something that his Burlington Vermont based Sanders cult used before.
Listening to what Sanders said in 1989 led me to the conclusion that he wouldn't join a political party or start his own party because that would mean that the party and not Bernie Sanders was the center of things, I think he wouldn't join one because it would not be the Bernie Sanders party, it would diffuse his cult into a group effort.
When I hear a David Packman or a Sam Seders or a Jamie Peck or Michael Brooks, etc. go on and on about Bernie Sanders in 2020, when, by the way, Sanders will be on the cusp of 80 years old, I hear the echo of "real" lefty delusion that extends into the past for decades before I was born. AND THEY NEVER, EVER SEEM TO LEARN NO MATTER HOW MANY REPUBLICANS THEIR DELUSION ENABLES WE HAVE HAD TWO OF THE WORST WITHIN THE FIRST TWO DECADES OF THIS CENTURY.
Bernie Sanders looks to me to be ready to do even more damage to the chances to defeat Republicans this time than in 2016 which his cult is still wining and lying about today. Bernie Sanders should never have been eligible for the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party because he has not been a Democrat except when it suited his ego and his ambition. He has openly gloated about the ability of his cult to throw caucuses (look at the clip of him at the link above) to candidates who would never have a chance of winning the general election. It is exactly what he did in 2016, he belatedly endorsing the real Democrat who beat him in the primaries which are a far more legitimate means of nominating someone than the guaranteed-low-turnout caucuses.
But Bernie Sanders will likely die in the near future, as people nearing their 80s have a tendency to do, this isn't about him this is about the continuing idiocy that the play-left in America has been and still is. I call it the "play-left" because that's all it ever has been, the real left is a left that does something in real life, something the play left never has and never will do. Politically, since the 1930s, that has meant the Democratic Party, extending back even before then, it has been the traditional American style of liberalism based in the morality of the Mosaic Law and the Gospel, based on egalitarianism and charity to the least among us. That starts in the colonial period with the abolitionism of Quakers such as John Woolman and others. It has never, for any significant time included Marxists because Marxists discredited themselves by their devotion to some of the worst gangster dictators in human history and, domestically, futile, stupid, attention seeking hijinks that turned off a majority of the electorate. That left, which, I'm sorry to say, all of the above associate themselves with to one extent or another, has been better for Republican-fascism, for the neo-confederate racists and the oligarchs than they have ever produced a single thing in reality, in law through to implementation, they've produced blather and, on occasion, blood, not real good.
Bernie Sanders proves he is entirely willing to blow whatever modest accomplishments he's had a part in as a politician on this ridiculous money-shot that America is going to elect a very old socialist who will be running against the hurricane of wild lies and nonsense that even a Democrat with a chance of winning will face. In that he mimics the last play-lefty to do that, Ralph Nader who was quite willing, for reasons of petty resentment and ego and, perhaps, profit to himself, to destroy the legacy he got some credit for - a legacy that was made real by Democratic politicians of the past. I said Sanders only had a part in anything he did because the Bernie Sanders party has never done anything on its own except wreak havoc in 2016.
That's what we're seeing and we're seeing the same play-left that got serially suckered by all of the cult figures in that long history of political failure going back to . . . well, pick your cult figure of the past, Eugene Debs, John Reed and his fellow idiots who took orders from Lenin and Trotsky, Robert La Follette, Eugene McCarthy, (Wisconsin lefties, ha!) all of the combined "third-party" candidates, all of the many commie and socialist parties, all of the Green and Citizens parties (I'll bet you don't even remember that last one, a cult that formed around Barry Commoner) nothing has ever been done by any of them, not one law made, passed or implemented, not one program run, not one. And we're supposed to consider that some admirable, heroic history that is worth repeating, again and again and again, onward into an ever worsening future.
The Democratic Party has got to protect itself against this because these "lefts" always end up figuring they'll wreck the Democratic Party and they'll pick up the left of Democrats and, in their fevered calculations using numbers more imaginary than imaginary numbers, they'll win. Only they never have and they never will and even if they did, they'd blow it massively. Blowing it massively is the only thing that secular style of lefty politicos have ever done.
The Democratic Party has to adopt rules that only people who have been Democrats for at least the eight years before the election they want to run as Democrats in are eligible for the Democratic nomination for president or vice-president. It is insane, after the experience of 2016 that the Democratic Party has left itself open to Sanders doing the same thing, that would be Bernie Sanders WHO LEFT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ALMOST AS SOON AS THE ELECTION WAS OVER. He has no legitimate claim to the nomination, he has no credibility as a candidate, he is counting on a coalition of the delusional and unrealistic to carry him and enrich him.
