I mean, I wish I could be as high-minded as Bernie, but the fact is that I’m just… not. And neither are most people.
Bernie hit the trail hard campaigning for Hillary fucking Clinton even after the shitshow in the 2016 primary because he realized what was at stake. He’s a rare soul.
Same. Bernie forgiving her is two fold, he’s the bigger man compared to me, and he recognizes the need for some allies, even if you can’t fully trust them.
But she’s a snake, a liar, a cheat, and I don’t trust her not to Tulsi Gabbard us, even if she won’t take it to that extreme… But honestly, I couldn’t tell you what extreme she would take it to, considering she’s proven herself to be checks notes a snake, a liar, and a cheat. Is she better than most of em? No fucking clue. Her results have been better in most cases, but who knows what she’d do if the money or motivation is right.
There’s a short story, What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank. It’s a good read, but basically it boils down to a group of Jewish friends discussing who would hide each other if the Nazis ever came back into power, and there’s an uncomfortable realization when one of them realizes someone they love wouldn’t have the spine to hide them if the shit hit the fan. That’s how I feel about EW. When the shit hits the fan her progressiveness goes out the window, and it becomes how she can protect her own interests over the literal billions of people on the planet that would benefit from a truly progressive American administration.

It’s always good to have something to aspire to.
For me, I’ll keep admiring Warren for as long as she keeps beating up banks. I don’t really give a shit about a primary they both lost anymore.
