When it comes to strategy, Bernie’s no Solid Snake. Too bad he didn’t think strategically and kneecap biden with, I don’t know, his record on literally anything.
The video was kind of interesting though. The opening bit where he makes demands. It would be cool if he had any sort of power, but here it seems toothless and a little bit useless I guess.
Also, do you buy any of his optimism for a Biden admin? Is Bernie just thinking strategically for himself, like shifting the goalposts (gag) of his crowning achievement and pinning it on this united front victory over trump? Or, does he think he can actually steer Biden’s administration in a meaningful way? Isn’t fucking everyone going to be trying to steer sleepy Joe’s administration though? :/
At least he looks healthy here. It is a good look for our grandpa. He probably hasn’t interacted much with his grandkids since the pandemic began. Hope he gets a chance to pat some heads. However, it sounds like he might be gearing up to get back to work after his vacation.
I think you’re right to say he danced within the bounds of the establishment. That’s what makes his proposals/demands for things that exist beyond those bounds kind of pathetic. He wants it both ways it seems, or maybe he’s learned that it’s the only way he could be a career politician among the libs. It’s just that, when you’re 80-something yrs old, you gotta stop covering your ass and just go for it.
Finally, with all cause to keep it hidden dissolved, Bernie reveals his true power level: he was never a socialist
