…wowwwwwwwww so I guess I know more about Sanders now.

Wow, how dare Sanders … acknowledge that we’ve elected a walking tire fire as President, and pledge to fight against racism, sexism, xenophobia and the rape of the environment while doing what he can to improve citizens’ lives? 

Okay, I need you to back up about a thousand paces and preferably off a fucking cliff because are you fucking kidding me? Sanders would get no cookies for acknowledging that the future President of the United States will be a disaster - that is, if he’d actually done that, which he absolutely didn’t.

Plus, where was this guy during the goddamn general election? Bernie needed a fucking gift-wrapped perfect pure progressive DNC platform and a handjob before he would acknowledge that Hillary Clinton had won the primaries. He literally waited days before even admitting he’d lost, and then he spent the past FOUR MONTHS holding the most half-assed, luke-warm, temper-tantrum, bare-minimum rallies where he just said “we can’t let Trump win!” without, y’know, showing any enthusiasm or support for the actual candidate of his party. He never praised her policies except when he could claim that she’d done as he’d told her, he never acknowledged the millions of people who voted for her and what their votes meant.

But less than 24 hours after Trump squeaks out one of the narrowest victories in history, the second time where the next president has actually lost the popular vote, Bernie stands there and sweeps aside all of the racist, sexist, xenophobic things that Trump has already done in order to praise Trump’s message? And he has to lie about the message in order to do it! The ‘declining middle class’? Please. The middle class has been doing better, seeing more jobs, seeing more economic security. The poor in this country - who have yet to make the same gains - voted for Hillary Clinton. But Sanders’s argument is essentially that HRC was - what, for longer hours and shipping jobs overseas and protecting billionaires? What the fuck?

And he so he pledges himself and other progressives (whom I’m sure are thrilled that he’s decided to speak for him) to working with Trump without requiring any kind of apology or promise, without any acknowledgement of the people Trump has already hurt and endangered. Like, whoopee for him for promising to “vigorously oppose” racist policies! I kind of expected the Darling Of The Left to already do that, though. I kind of expected him to be just a smidge more angry on behalf of the people he claims to represent. I kind of expected to hear something more reassuring than that he will “vigorously oppose” things that he thinks are a distraction from class struggle. I kind of expected him, in short, not to be a fucking asshole and shit all over the millions of people who voted for Hillary Clinton by saying they weren’t voting for the right things.

Also, don’t ever use the word “rape” the way you did. Ever.

#god I hope Sanders steps on legos barefoot for the rest of his life #EVERY MORNING

in case anybody was still wondering why so many progressives voted for Hillary in the primaries; in case anybody was still wondering why so many nonwhite Democrats voted for Hillary in the primaries; in case anybody was still wondering why so many southern black voters especially picked Hillary and rejected Bernie: well. Here you go. This is who he is.

….and that? was a read.
