Remember when Senator Bernie Sanders (I-DPPK) was the perennial fruit fly in every political salad, running doomed campaigns designed to divide the party he was temporarily claiming to be a part of? But all that is in the past. Bernie is all in on Biden which ought to tell you that Biden is really all in on Bernie’s agenda.
And, despite the fact that most Democrats, Americans, and oxygen-breathing lifeforms on the planet want another candidate who isn’t a senile 80-year-old with a propensity for corruption and hair-sniffing, the Democrats and Bernie Sanders don’t believe that there should be any competitive primaries.
Why? To protect democracy.
NBC’s Chuck Todd asked Sanders on “Meet the Press” whether he believed there should be a competitive Democratic primary. Sanders instead called for unity among progressives for 2024, saying that the threat of former President Trump taking office should be a call to consensus among the left.
“Well, I think in this particular time, this particular moment in American history, when we’re taking on the former President, who in fact does not believe in democracy, he is an authoritarian, and a very, very dangerous person,” he said.
As true believers in democracy, we must protect democracy from democracy, lest democracy be destroyed by democracy leaving us with no democracy (which we don’t have anyway, but for the best democratic reasons).
In this moment, we must resist authoritarianism by being authoritarians, protect democracy by eliminating it and lose weight by gorging at all-you-can-eat buffets. Once we have destroyed the village to save it, we will enjoy non-authoritarian democracy in the green gulag of our choice.
What does democracy mean? To leftists, it means making elections a meaningless formality. And they must defend the meaningless formality against anyone who might undermine democracy by running against them.
As Bernie Sanders, like Mao, and Stalin, knows, democracy is too important to be left to the people.

Bernie has been a human word “salad shooter” for a very long time. He’s the only guy I know to be kicked out of an Israeli kibbutz for being too lazy to work, rather spending his time standing around and preaching socialist propaganda to fellow members. It should’ve come as no surprise that he didn’t want to name it in 2016 when he was running for President.
I will say that his focus on Trump is telling more than he probably wants told. A person that has spent his entire life bloviating, when he gets older, always tells more than they should. Their fear is tangible, palpable, concrete. He and fellow socialist leftists are scared to death. He would be a terrible poker player.
It’s time to show them their fears are well founded.

Grifter. Let’s see if I can tell the local story right this time, so readers can understand it 🙂
Bernie was wildly popular here, running against Hillary, 2016. They wanted to schedule an event here, but security would set the city back by 5,000 smackers, a lot for a small town. Bernie agreed to cover it, was wildly received at the event by the area lunatics. But didn’t reimburse the city, now out 5,000 smackers, a lot for a small town.
Months of back and forth. No moola. Finally the media got hold of the story, and Bernie’s campaign came up with the moola.
Let’s see if I took out the right keywords that put me into moderation.

What’s your argument here? That not having a competitive primary within the Democratic party when there is a sitting Democratic president is somehow an assault on democracy? That is ridiculous, and you know it is ridiculous. There was no competitive Republican primary in 2020 when Trump was the sitting Republican president. You know it. Why you lying, Danny?
World@70 says
Just “spit balling” here, but maybe a Dem. primary would help to show just what lunatic the left wanted in charge of fouling up the country for the next four years.
icydeadpeople says
Nice try but not related. The RNC historically supports the incumbent repub president. Plus, the 2020 primary was beset by the Covid policies and with Trump in office it was much more feasible to stay with Trump as there were also no real challengers and Trump easily won every single delegate w/ a record vote count and vote margin. Sanders is saying they need to suspend democracy to support a rotten sac of cooked oatmeal.
Daniel Greenfield says
Yes, it would be ridiculous for Democrats to democratically elect their presidential candidates.
Just because y’all are Democrats doesn’t mean you have to be democrats.
Kasandra says
I’m surprised Bernie didn’t say something like “The Party, acting through the Presidium and Supreme Soviet, will determine The Party’s candidate and will not tolerate interference from the lackey running dogs of international capitalism.”
Daniel Greenfield says
He was saving that for his State of the Union if he ever got elected.

A topsy-turvy world. Accuse your opponents of the very thing you yourself are doing. Alinsky must be smiling.
Verneoz says
These 3 Senators that call themselves Independents are nothing of the sort. All of their voting patterns & legislative agendas are with the Democrats. Bernie Sanders caucuses with the Democrats because they are closer to his Marxist ideology. As a matter of fact, the Democrat party in 1 or 2 more election cycles will be wholly run by Marxists. Most them are already anti-American, anti-capitalist, and followers of the open borders-World Economic Forum agendas.
Daniel Greenfield says
Independents who manage to get elected to public office are invariably leftists. The system tends to keep out anyone else.
T100C1970 says
And stealing the election as we did in 2020 is fully justified if it is done to protect democracy and prevent the election of any so-called republican.
SPURWING PLOVER says
That old leftists Buzzard needs to totally leave America he is the enemy within along with the UN/Globalists/DNC/CFR Etc.
CowboyUp says
Bernie uses the word “authoritarian,” as if he isn’t one It’s as if his wish to dictate how many kinds of toothpaste and deodorant are on store shelves isn’t authoritarian. But then, in bernie’s defense, he might not be an authoritarian, if only because he’s a “totalitarian.”
Daniel Greenfield says
Bernie thinks the USSR was progressive, not authoritarian.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Thanks Cowboy! It is the Democrats who are the authoritarians they are always warning us about.
Christopher Robert Riddle says
“Crazy Bernie”is Nothing more than a COMMIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kasandra says
He freely admits to being a “socialist” but seems to ignore V.I. Lenin’s statement that “The goal of Socialism is Communism.” That seems to have escaped most of our garbage “news media” as well.
