A lot of “concerned” people, like New York’s Jonathan Chait and the Bulwark’s Jonathan Last—Jonathan V. Last, as he likes to call himself1—are telling Bernie Sanders to get the hell out of the Democratic presidential race—Johnnie V, who once studied molecular biology, making the impeccable point that Bernie’s continued campaign is a danger to public…

Bernie Sanders is not a social democrat. He is a revolutionary socialist.
Bernie II is starting to look a lot like Trump I, as the startled center starts to realize that there’s no there there any more. The bad news is, Bernie Sanders isn’t a Hillary Clinton/Barack Obama style conventional liberal reformer; he’s a true believer socialist who wants to smash capitalism and live in a righteous…
Bernie Sanders, the White Folks’ Candidate
Issac Bailey has a more than terrific post up at Politico, pointing out what I (very briefly) noted, that the whiter the state, the better Bernie Sanders did. Actually, Bernie did a terrific job uniting both white working-class voters, by promising to basically end imports, as well as white college kids, by promising to cancel…
Bernie Sanders, the White Man’s Candidate*
*Yes, I’m being unfair, but look at the results
Please God, Crush Bernie Sanders. Like you know, a pancake. This time, a really, really flat pancake.
I’ve made this plea before, but, obviously, God wasn’t listening. Or, if God was, Bernie wasn’t. Bernie Sanders has no reason to listen to anyone. In 2012, the best election of his life, Bernie polled almost 300,000 votes. In 2016, he’s polled well over 9 million, which in political terms gives him the right to…
Why is Bernie Sanders popular with college students? Because Bernie Sanders is a college student!
Think about it: What does Bernie promise the kids? Vote for me, and you’ll be able to spend your life doing cool stuff—saving the planet!—and other people will pay for it! Just what you’re doing now! Or at least, were doing, until you graduated and had to, you know, work for a living! Sounds entrancing,…
What Bernie Sanders still doesn’t get about arguing with Hillary Clinton? No, what Bernie Sanders still doesn’t get about arguing with anyone.
Bernie Sanders is getting some flak for getting all “Hey! Man talking, Lady!” on Hillary’s ass during last Sunday’s debate, but, really, it wasn’t a sexist thing. It was just a Bernie thing. Bernie talks to everybody like that, because Bernie lives in Bernieland, where he’s been living his entire life, where he’s right about…
Extreme poverty to hit a new low; Bernie Sanders doesn’t give a shit
Have you heard? The percentage of the global population living on less than $1.90 per day will fall to 9.6 percent this year, the lowest it’s ever been, according to the World Bank. But Bernie “I don’t give a shit” Sanders doesn’t give a shit. Bernie’s too worried about this crazy Trans-Pacific Partnership that the…
Bernie Sanders or Bernie Trump?
Is Bernie Sanders squishy on immigration by accident or is he squishy on purpose? I guess it depends on what your definition of “squishy” is. Elise Foley and Daniel Marans at the Huffington Post give a rundown on Bernie’s recent comments, in which he’s both pushed for a path to naturalization for the millions of…
Shorter NYT: Bernie sucks!
With the world more or less crashing down around our ears, it’s more than nice of the New York Times to crank out one of those quasi-pissy, sometimes bitchy, behind the scenes political insider reports, “How It All Came Apart for Bernie Sanders”. As I’ve said, well, many times, I really don’t like Bernie Sanders,…
