I am rather disappointed to see leftist figures I respect doubling down on being Bernie or Bust. There isn& #39;t really a good consequentialist argument for it. I& #39;ve heard the arguments, they don& #39;t hold up.

Even worse are some of these people saying not only are they Bernie or Bust, but they won& #39;t go to the polls at all. There are SO MANY actual leftist candidates running across the country, So many important referendums. Do you have any idea how fucking shortsighted that is?!

a Sanders presidency was always a longshot. If you got into politics wanting to coalesce around some cult of personality then I& #39;m sorry, you got involved for the wrong reasons. This is now a game about harm reduction and outcomes. It sucks hot goat turd, but it& #39;s where we are

Alright instead of being vague lets go through some of the arguments. Please if someone has a good consequentialist argument in favor of Bernie or Bust I& #39;m here for it. I crave it. I don& #39;t wanna vote for the prick honestly.
