Here we are folks, in the middle or just the start of the political season. That, of course, depends on your comprehension of the political process in America. Those who think it’s almost over will be surprised, and those who know it’s just getting started are very excited. It is those differences that caught my eye thus far in the Democratic race for the White House.
When we started out of the gate we had three to pick from. Test their purity and make sure they are fighting for us, or, you, or whoever. Remember, there are no easy answers to questions we make tough, theres no shortcut to easy street, no corners you can cut. We need to find our diamond in the rough.
Much like the Hokey Pokey, Sanders is what this is all about. We have heard this populist message for a while now, and I would like to point out that these are not new ideas. Bernie didn’t just wake up one day and come up with free college and social responsibility. But he did give us this nugget on womens sexual fantasies. The ideas his campaign are running on are the same as most of the Dems across the country (Tulsi Gabberd not included) and have been very popular for decades. That is why when his campaign started we didn’t take it seriously, and why we still don’t.
Good for us Ole Bern has a record we can look at, judge and hindsight the fuck out of and you can do that at #VettingBernie. For this little nugget we would like to talk shit about the folks that talk shit! Bernie Bros, the fevered supporters of Sanders have insisted that he and he alone is the paragon of truth justice and the American way.
Now, Sanders is a lot of things: old, cranky, cantankerous, and sort of cootish but are generally regarded as one of the good guys. But life is complicated buttercup, and so are people. This may come as a surprise to his base, but Ole Bern is a career politician and like all folks in that arena have accrued a record that can be referenced. Now we aren’t going into his votes that make you go hmmmmmmm right now, but you can read about actual facts like, walking out of interviews, voting against Amber Alert, votes to shield the hate group The Minute Men from prosecution, and more.
No matter how many folks try to state that Bernie Bros are not a thing the more their rhetoric proves their existence. Living in the Northeast and having played in bands that tour college towns, I have seen this behavior first hand. When most people think of frats they think Animal House and cheap beer. But what I have seen is a training ground for that asshole at the office who knows everything and hits on anyone with reckless abandon. And will try to use what they learned in leadership class at prep school to be so condescending that you just shake your head in disbelief and amazement that they continue to remember how to breathe. They will take what they think is a sober thought from first semester poly sci and latch on and exploit even the most noble idea to their own ends all in an effort to self fellate their ego. What I mean is the thought that they have an opportunity to bandwagon and fuck you for not accepting the truth that they are telling you. Like very aggressive Mormons but with a much rapy-er vibe.
‘I won’t vote for that bitch’ says a lot about you. How basic your knowledge, and how easy the misogyny flows from you. Yes, women can be misogynistic too. Hillary is going to win the nomination and the Sanders campaign knows this. After a year of railing against the establishment, Weavers strategy is now to beg the super delegates to switch sides, have blowouts in the west to bypass the fact that Hillary has more pledged delegates, you know the ones that were cast by people, discount all the votes in the south and just hope the black caucus goes along with this unruly mob. Well, I don’t think it’s going down like that.
