You seriously don’t believe that there’s a another way to look at this, do you? That maybe you got it all — or at least partly — wrong? And everything you write just bangs the same drum.

Only folks like you care and that everybody else is lesser than because they see it differently? Some of us don’t like Bernie for a lot of other reasons than we “fear” him. Some of us think other candidates have a better, more rooted in reality approach to dealing with Trump and post Trump.

And not all wealthy people are evil or frightened of all Bernie represents: they’re are fearful of the fact that a vast swath of American — not so far left that they can’t see anything or anyone else from their ivory tower — will look at his bluster and not infrequent nonsense and just give up hope if he’s the nominee. Or they will look at his relentlessly intransigent following and just give of on you all. Cause man, you are relentlessly dug in.

I am far less concerned about Mike Bloomberg’s ability to see reason than I am about your ability to do that. And Bloomberg’s not going to be the nominee. You know that. But Bernie won’t either. His zealots are loud and self righteous but don’t mistake that for the majority of Democrats. The surest way in all the world to re-elect this criminal reprobate would be to nominate Sanders.

But you just keep bang bang banging, writing the same piece over and over again. And for reasons are beyond me, this platform keeps publishing and curating versions of this same article — again and again — more and more to the exclusion of genuinely probing pieces better written articles on other very literate, very worthy candidates like Harris, Klobuchar, Castro and Booker. People are wondering what is up with that?
