see, you keep trying with some clever analysis, coming up with a more complex narrative than my simple words imply. it’s like you a trying to be dissembling or condescending to convey some agenda that you are keeping secret. the democrats are messaging badly right now, that needs to be more nuanced and make more sense. sanders doesn’t do that: he blusters, he waves his arms and he won’t work with anyone. he will be a more benign version, less psychopathic version of trump. so somebody better start framing all these progressive good intentions in a way that makes sense to actual people. and you are exactly as clever as you think you are.
