    When NPR dedicated all of 2016 to breaking Bernie down I knew it was compromised.

      There was no breaking needed. Contrary to what some people continue to believe, he never had any chance of winning the presidential election.

        It was so easy to get America’s boomers to believe this in both primaries, and thus it became true. We are really a country of morons.

        and yet they did it anyway, so either NPR(DNC by extension) is incompetent or you’re wrong

        like saying unions don’t work, while big business spends tons fucking them so they don’t work

        He was never anything other than a DNC sheepdog to keep disenfranchised Democrat voters rounded up and trapped in the party.

          Yeah, no. He has a legitimate history as a political activist going back to the Civil Rights movement. As flawed as he is, it’s deeply dishonest to call him a mere puppet.
