8. "this kind of posturing"

If you want to keep losing, this kind of attitude is a good place to start. It's basically why Sanders is getting hammered. Introspection is not a strong suit, and it's always someone else's fault.

Today, it's the older voters who are too dumb to vote for Sanders. That's a great idea. Alienate the groups that would otherwise be allies and are the most reliable voters.

I find it hilarious that Sanders supporters are OK with Sanders alienating just about everyone else, including his staff pushing doctored videos, but think they should deserve some special kind of protection from criticism from everyone else. It's laughable, but not surprising. It's part of the problem.

Of course Biden will make an effort to secure the support of Sanders and his supporters. That has nothing to do with the viability of the progressive movement.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
