I'm criticizing Bernard because he is the worst politician in the entire US system right now.
Most popular politician in America atm...
His actual function is to sheepdog idiots like you into a group in order to think a certain way and be offended by anyone who doesn't.
LOL! Sounds like you're describing UncleBuck and the Buck Club's mentality

Even if it is true, which is dubious, but even if it is, it doesn't contradict what I said, in fact it sorta supports it. I mean just the fact that a homophobic MRA like you, a racist like blow'n'go and a mouthbreather like Schuylard are all obsessed with him tells me all I need to know.

I mean, it seems like his view is that Bernard can do no wrong. I'm convinced that Bernard never had any intention of coming close to winning anything, which is why he tried to swear off super pacs. It wasn't because of any moral principal. If he could gain in the process while becoming some kind of glorious symbol, all the better for such an old shit stain ready to retire after a career in politics (never having done any other kind of work).
No, that's your black and white misinterpretation. You delight in shoving your debating opponents into boxes they don't occupy and then straw man them to death.

Bernie is far from perfect. I said he's the closest candidate that fits my own needs. That's nowhere near an exclamation of perfection- but I'm sure that won't stop you from misrepresenting my words.

Hypocrite.

So he just sold out his life's work for fame? I think that is possible but not sure if it's tototally logical or desirable, especially from his perspective, unless maybe he has some motive like money trouble? Why arguably help the Democratic establishment? Then there are those that would argue Sanders further muddied the water for people deciding between Trump and Hillary. Did most Sanders supporters vote Hillary in the election? Personally, I think Sanders could partially be to blame for Clinton's loss.
Right. Because of course Mrs Clinton's miserable excuse for a campaign it policy platform had nothing to do with it.

When will you all get it through your heads that none of us are obligated to vote for anyone and that candidates have the job of convincing us they're the right ones for the job?

The idea that Bernie can be blamed for anything the DNC or the Clinton campaign did it failed to accomplish is as vacuous and stupid as it is self centered and presumptuous!

Agree, and I don't understand how anyone could support Bernie's platform and then choose Republican over Democrat as the more similar platform. The Democratic party has become increasingly progressive since Obama, and was already pretty progressive for decades.
Not hardly. The Democrats are at best center right and can most closely be described as analogous to a Nixonian Republican.

The reason Bernie was so popular was and remains due to his policy positions, an attribute most of you are studiously ignoring in the myopic focus on identity politics.

Many of us real, actual citizens knew it very well, which is why he drove record turnout to primary polls here in Colorado.

Word salad meaning you're just jealous and screaming sour grapes until someone believes you.

Hypocrite.

Waaa AC doesn't love Bernie, he must be a Clinton supporter.

Go ahead, squander what is left of your credibility. That is exactly my goal anyway so thanks for doing it for me.
