I am rather disappointed to see leftist figures I respect doubling down on being Bernie or Bust. There isn't really a good consequentialist argument for it. I've heard the arguments, they don't hold up.
Even worse are some of these people saying not only are they Bernie or Bust, but they won'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'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'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'm here for it. I crave it. I don't wanna vote for the prick honestly.
