the plebs are important. they're called "focus groups," and they determine fundamentals of messaging iirc
Except they didn't. They more often than not showed their hand because it was more advantageous.
Of course. And their pointing our that they had leverage was my entire cause for creating this thread
the narrative fucking worked, and Bernie played along like the good little cuck that he is once she officially stole the nom
then how did they have "leverage?" that's a glaring fucking hole. even if it was a "gentleman's agreement," he made it with a Clinton. come on
Everyone has something on everybody else, even if it's the most petty, stupid bullshit. People get paid to do this in every campaign. I'd guess that even sleepy doc had his own oppo people on payroll. He just dealt with it differently than a traditional politician.
Peter Welch seems more likely, given everything that's been presented in the thread. He's connected through Kathleen, and that gives them the leverage they need. fucking lol "give the guy a chance"
wouldn't be weird if they struck some kind of agreement wherein he bends the knee when appropriate if he wants to live
that's *kind of* what I'm trying to figure out with this thread.
they had moles. they had liaisons. they had people who could crush him when appropriate, if so. they had false flaggers bird-dogging (R)s as they saw fit chanting "BERNIE BERNIE BERNIE."
they just had a better con
Bernie's knees were capped before he even got on the track. I'm trying to figure out how exactly the DNC and the Clinton camp made that happen. Once I figure that out, I can make the case for friends/family/acquaintances re: what a sham Bernie's campaign was, and that they should shudder at the thought of filling in the circle next to Hillary's name on their ballot(s).
What did Ender say?
"In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it's impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love them-"
"No, you don't understand. I destroy them. I make it impossible for them to ever hurt me again. I grind them and grind them until they don't exist."
yeah. that.
