I think the world is more nuanced then you perceive it to be. I liked Bernie too, and sent him 400 dollars toward his campaign in 2016, even though I was doubtful he would win since the democrats side line their liberals as did MSNBC who would reference Bernie as that old curmudgeon. However, when I heard Bernie sing Clinton's praises after her win, a woman I see as a war hawk, a liar, and someone sick with her need for power I gave up on him. He knows his party is not liberal, but he sticks around and I guess he's comfortable having so little impact on what they want to do. Trump imposed sanctions on Iran, and I do believe it was a single democrat, Bernie, who did not. Certainly Trump has his flaws, but how about no wars during his presidency, no millions of lives lost, displaced, no country torn apart, no torture sites, no Quantanamo Bay? Your description of Trump which lacks any sense of nuance, is very similar to how the democrats defined him, and whose motive was to remove him from office. They also defined his base as a bunch of deplorables. Bad, bad, bad. That kind of thinking, that black and white thinking, has caused a real divide in this country. Dividing the American people only serves to further the grip the corporate world has on our elected officials.
The Democrats are not Bernie’s party. He made a deal w/them, and they fixed the results, but he honored his deal. Your romanticizing Trump’s time in office is the rhetoric of somebody who believes in the sham adversarial 2-party BS.
I stand by my description of the flim-flam man. I don’t subscribe to your view that the enemy of my of my enemy is my friend. Trump is a chronic blamer. If we can’t be honest about his glaring flaws as a human being, what hope is there to expect better?
Trump dropped megaton ordinance on Syria at the suggestion that Assad used chemical weapons. He signed off on arms to Ukraine, he stirred up the white supremacists with his xenophobic rants. He didn’t close Guantanamo, didn’t suggest closing it AFIK. Stop with the lame comparisons. Trump wanted to withdraw from NATO...how did that go? He did and will do whatever he must to prove he matters. He was lobbied consistently to pardon Julian Assange...does anybody think that would fly?Millions of Americans are vitriolic over the government that represents the billionaires and their interests. Trump’s vitriol is not directed at billionaires. He bragged about an obscene tax reduction for them. Trump resents intellectuals, academics and leftists. He lazily refers to them as “radicals.”
