Bernie could have reminded the public about this background without having his political career collapse, actually it would only add to his credibility for pointing out the flaws in the media and political establishment.<br /><br />I like him as much as anyone else, but am wary when ever someone becomes looked at as a hero who is portrayed as the only one that can save the day. And at times he has caved and supported the political establishment he ran again including when he campaigned for Hillary instead of speaking out about election rigging, even though there was plenty of evidence to support this; and when he campaigned with Tom Perez even though he clearly isn't a progressive either. <br /><br />To support a progressive agenda and the Democratic establishment that opposes real progressive politics raises major questions.<br /><br />As much as I like Bernie he still needs to be held accountable as long as he's a political leader; and it is becoming increasingly obvious that if real reform is going to happen it has to come from the grassroots. There are way to many politicians that run as progressives then switch once they gain power. Bernie has been able to avoid this as an independent that can't pass anything with the opposition of the duopoly. But when he support the duopoly or Democratic party it raises doubts. <br />Zacherydtaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698044667634105382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252326404934310862.post-80662950627703840782017-05-18T11:42:41.568-07:002017-05-18T11:42:41.568-07:00Bernie is a politician and he knows what issues wi...Bernie is a politician and he knows what issues will cause mass uprising and end his Political career. He was bold enough to speak about Israel, but this would bring him down. Hence it is the people who are at fault for not educating themselves nor thinking for themselves, not Bernie.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04632120260728555473noreply@blogger.com
