So, I pointed out the Starmer-Bernie exchange in another article, and what I think about the UK's political system, but this time, I want to focus on Bernie's response. Bernie basically responded to Starmer that Biden has embraced the left and Starmer should do.
Bernie...no. Look, I've pointed this out before, but Bernie Sanders needs to STOP simping for the Biden administration. It makes him look weak and pathetic. Is this what your legacy is, Bernie? A milquetoast infrastructure bill that is a compromise of a compromise of a compromise? I'm sorry, but I'm not thrilled with the Biden administration's ideas of progress. He was watered down in the primaries, watered down in the general election, his proposals are often even more watered down on issues like healthcare, and while he offered some decent proposals like the child tax credit, free childcare, and 2 year free college, he has failed on so many other things and a lot of those things are subject to assault from the most moderate sellout rotating villain type congresspeople and senators.
Biden is a joke. I'm sorry, he is. I mean, he's done a couple good things, but only a couple. He's nowhere near as progressive as I am, and as I said I'm to the right of most socialist types. I'm sorry, but this is getting old and it really is a shame to see the democrats massacre him and his legacy like this. I'm deeply disappointed in Sanders as of late. I even respect AOC more, who is subject to the left's ire right now. At least when she obviously "sells out" its quite clear she's being blackmailed and she's doing it in tears. There's a real person there who knows this is wrong and is being forced to do something against her will by a corrupt system. Bernie is way too enthusiastic on selling Biden.
Honestly, Yang is the future for me. The more I learn about Forward Party, the more I like. It does seem quite clear that working ithin the party is a dead end. They got to Bernie, they're getting to AOC, and now they're singing their tune. It's disgusting. I'm just done with the democratic party.
