How A Clintonite Hangs Himself Trying To Smear the Bernie Movement


Poking around Medium, I came across another noxious Clintonite article, this one trying to blame Bernie Sanders and progressives for creating an atmosphere of conspiracy and violence that, this week, led a deranged man in Virginia to open fire on congressional Republicans as they took part in baseball practice. Couldn't resist a rejoinder:

Reading that article makes me even more glad that I'm an Independent again.

I did change my affiliation for the 2016 elections, though, because--more fool me--I actually thought Sanders had a viable and FAIR chance at winning the Democratic nomination. The crap the Dems pulled to elbow him out of any hope at being the candidate proved to me that they are just as f**ked-up as the Republicans are when it comes to putting their personal (and donor-sponsored) agendas above the will of the people.

Lately, I've found myself writing a string of articles like that one above, taking on a particularly virulent strain of hardcore Clintonite, one that hasn't yet gotten the memo about the larger party's embrace of Sanders and is still grinding out scurrilous rubbish aimed at smearing both Sanders and progressives in general. Medium is one of the swamps in which that strain seems to breed (I certainly ran into a lot of them right around the time I started writing there).
