    Honestly at this point I think Bernie’s currently vocal “supporters” are actually conservative Dems using him like a cudgel to guilt-trip and exploit progressive voters into moving to the right. Bernie doesn’t seem to mind playing right into their strategy - maybe he doesn’t know, maybe he doesn’t care.

    At the same time I don’t think progressives are even a functional political bloc anymore which makes it all kind of funny. It’s like the conservatives crossed the finish line and won the race 4 years ago, but they didn’t realize it so they’re still out there running all by themselves.
