You sound young and naive, so I'll explain it. The national Democratic party is owned by the exact same financial interests as the Republican party. To them, Sanders is a bigger threat than Trump. It does not matter that Sanders is the only candidate who consistently beats Trump in the polls. Biden will most likely get the nomination because when he loses to Trump, everybody will still keep getting paid. If Sanders were to become president the billionaire class would be brought to heel, we'd stop spending money on a lot of "projects" like Israel and the weapons industry... a whole lot of the slimy fucks in Washington would stop getting paid. They crippled Sanders' 2016 campaign and they've been desperately trying to do it again this time around. Notice how every other candidate mysteriously dropped out and declared support for Biden the day before "super Tuesday"/the largest round of elections?

So what was he supposed to do in the situation? Him winning wasn't in the cards anymore. Greens winning never was in the cards. Killary would've kept the status quo and could've introduce some positive thing here and there. Donald made things even worse while dismantling progress and threatened to do even worse but just couldn't pass the shit. In the scenario she was a horrible but still a better choice.

Will be interesting what he does now though, Trump did the worst already, so Biden wouldn't be much of a difference. Now he could indeed give a finger to the system and run with greens … BUT that choice would probably alienate some moderates with potential to become progressive and make things for his allies in the house harder. Then again, he and his supporters are going to get blamed for Biden losing either way.

Well, and that would be stupid on too many levels to mention. Take shit like actually organising it, so Joe and Berry actually fight as part of an army and aren't just two drunks rolling in their tanks.

And anything less wouldn't be effective while create downsides. Hence ... fuck guns. Though as long there are decent background checks, mandatory training and the likes, nothing speaks against people having them, but it's silly to pretend it'd be more than a hobby.

>Why do you trust the state more than the people to use this technology?

Not super sure either but it was mostly "4 more years of Obama". So basically what we got now minus insane tax-cuts, open racism, divisions, the whole mess in Israel. Also no cuckservative judges and at least small steps by staying in the Paris deal. Hard to predict how she'd deal with Iran but given her masters, would probably break the Obama deal and provoke them too.

Hardly ideal but again, obviously the better choice.

Simplifications like that usually come from kids wearing Chè shirts. Since police and military part of the state there are clearly more effective methods one could deal with the mess than organising and leading a war.

Overthrowing the system would just take a few general strikes and people simply going and voting for their interest instead of sitting out. Informed and active citizens are a much better weapon and easier to achieve too. In the muh revolution scenario you'd still need millions informed citizens but also millions prepared to train, equip themselves and risk their lives.

honestly hindsight is 20/20 but bernie's biggest mistake is being too much of a cuck. he should have dabbed on hillary and called her a war criminal to her face, but he feared getting trump elected so he held back. then trump gets elected anyway because hillary's campaign was a fucking disaster and he gets blamed for it nonetheless.

now he's trying to be "civil" with backstabbing fucking snakes like warren instead of just calling her what she is. he hasn't adequately shat on the DNC establishment for being useless rent seeking fascist aides because he has been trying to be """""""""'civil""""""""" and resistance wine aunts get all uppity because he sometimes raises his voice and it reminds them of their stepfather when he came home drunk from the coal mines. there's no winning with these people, there's no good optics to be had. he's too passive, too lenient, too willing to acquiesce, and he gets blamed for being the exact opposite by people who think social etiquette on twitter is more important than people going bankrupt from healthcare costs. they're fucking animals and forceful submission is the only way they'll learn.

I mean yeah but playing their game is the only way for him to have any chance to win and deliver the change. In a normal country with multiple parties he could afford to be more direct and aggressive while calling out the libs. In Burgerland he has to appear somewhat electable for them before he can even start appealing to the normal voter.

The more Trumpian approach needs a party base who already agrees with your stances; winning neocons with neocon plans while giving them dogwhistles and calling out your competition in a no PC way works great. Selling social democracy to neolibs who unironically care about bullshit like "civility" is a much harder game and barely possible even in best case scenario.

It's just how it is. The ruling class aren't idiots and realized it's more effective to convince the oppressed they aren't oppressed instead of beating them down until even the centrists start to get wrong ideas. Hence it'd also be a crappy strategy to fight back with violence; most would turn against you. Hell, motherfuckers complain about protests when they can't get to their wagecuck job in time because of them.

Precisely. Certain abstractions because of the way they can achieve through utilizing bodies are our superiors. The goal is to o decentralize individuals and allow the the abstractions to gain the autonomy necessary to become a conscious agent of history. Man must be decentralized.

The body is worthless until it the world can be organized to acknowledge its worthlessness. The body is only useful to the state-cultural entity until it can gain true autonomy. It's usefulness is so limited and ephemeral that it isn't worth mentioning.

Any American with a brain and a perspective of history realizes the our current economic growth is a farce. We are in a huge bubble that has been perpetuated so that the rich keep getting paid while blue collar towns and families get dicked over by tech companies soaking up everything and giving nothing back. The entire health care insurance and pharmaceutical industries profit, not from free-market competition, but from strangling the working class for additional cash. The unfortunate reality the American democratic process is bought and paid for by a collective that disseminates fragments of truth that frame the powerful and wealthy as the only people to ensure security through media bias. The fact that Bloomberg ever received that many delegates just from throwing up youtube ads speaks to that truth. The fact that boomers hear socialism and only think of Communists regimes reveals their intellectual dishonesty and brain washing from years of media propaganda. They have no choice but to fight Ole Big Red Russia, when really all they are swinging at are ghosts of an old era.

The only thing i dislike about him is his insistence to keep calling what he proposes "socialism". Nigga could have branded himself as a socialist democrat, not a democratic socialist.
