My favorite phrase for the next 4 years is going to be "Bernie is right"

"Jill Stein was right" every day for the next 4 years for me... Wish Bernie would stand up for his beliefs like he used to.

Yes, Jill is on the right side of history but I prefer to refer to elected politicians when I am talking about resistance to governmental policy. What is he not standing up for these days?

He won't stand up to the Democrats. He'll criticize them once in a while after the election, after telling everyone to vote for them. Now he pretends to be a champion of the people? He was just on a pro genocide campaign a couple weeks ago! Maybe it's my own bias speaking but I can't trust anything he says again.

He's been campaigning for the people sending the weapons for years now. That's why I'm saying. Why would anyone believe he wants to stop them? He's just saying this for grifting donations from people who think he's serious.

See, this is a perfect example of why I don’t like the Green Party. To be an effective politician you need the ability to negotiate, compromise and build coalitions. You can’t just walk away because all your desires aren’t met.

I think you need expand your mind about "effective politician". If we limit ourselves to post-1980s US politics only, then we're doomed to fail. Plus Bernie couldn't influence anything in the last 4 years anyway. No effect on candidates, no effect on policies. How is that strategy working out for him? He's a good guy. But he played the wrong card.

Bernie's only been effective at helping evil people commit evil things and get away with it
