Bill Press: Sanders didnt damage Clintons public image

[BainsBane]

212. Supposedly?

Have you read her work on revolutions?

I haven't seen her write about Sanders' rhetoric of revolution, but I would be surprised if she didn't find it irksome. I myself was turned off by the opportunistic use of the language of social revolution to advance the political prospects of a politician.

I pointed it out because I agree with it. And given that the echo chamber we've been treated to lately is nothing more than recycled campaign excuses--which supporters continue to repeat with absolutely no variance--you can damn well put up with some occasional dissent. Not everyone is singularly concerned with Bernie's career. In fact, I can think of little that matters less right now. We are facing a grave political situation, yet Bernie remains focused on himself, his supporters following his lead.

The irony is that the people who insist Clinton bears all the blame for the GE defeat refuse to imagine that Bernie bears any responsibility for his far more decisive loss in the primary. It points to the double standard that characterized that campaign as well as an overall approach to society in which some are deemed more equal than others.
