1. Isn't she the 'media' ??

Who's dumb.

[highplainsdem]

2. Wow. Just when I think she can't sound more irrational...

[Mike Nelson]

3. I think...

... her crystal ball broke years ago!

[George II]

4. I think she's using this now:

[Mike Nelson]

5. Yes...

[rufus dog]

27. me thinks her parents should have named her

Ophelia

[George II]

37. Bazinga!

[marble falls]

6. So how does she feel about voting for Trump?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. It didn't take long before Bernie got thrown under his own bus

by the most ridiculous of his supporters. But I was wrong to think there was a cult of personality around Bernie; apparently the cult is a cult that worships itself.

[Blue_true]

34. Senator Sanders created a monster that has turned on him. Like

republicans officeholders created Trump, now they cower in fear of him.

8. When did Krstal lose the plot?

I think back, she was a commentor on MSNBC and she seemed pretty normal back then. Same with Ed Schultz and Micheal Moore.

[sop]

14. I haven't seen Michael Moore on cable shows since Bernie dropped out (I may have missed it).

Hope he's not sick or anything.

[Happy Hoosier]

24. Oh, he'll be back soon enough...

Talking yup how Trump will win.

[still_one]

26. Hopefully he will fade into obscurity

[Blue_true]

35. He's probably hiding out in one of his mansions. nt

[brush]

30. Yeah, she seemed normal on that MSNBC show "The Four" I think it was...

back before the 2016 election. Now she's somehow reincarnated as a raging anti-Dem, so-far-left-she-almost-links-hands-with-the-far-right, kook. I don't know what happened to her but something did—or she was hiding it pretty well before.

Schultz was in it for the money, a former conservative who shape-shifted to the left for a few years and a paycheck then shape-shifted back right for a different paycheck.

Moore, IMO, has always been a Naderite fifth columnist who always finds fault with Dems. I think he was jealous of Obama.

[OAITW r.2.0]

33. Sadly, it sounds about right.

Micheal Moore is the real disappointment. He had the lense and the message back 30 years ago.

He could have had a helluva lot more creds if he had worked to support change in the left direction....even if it was too slow for his personal liking.

[Atticus]

9. Congratulations, KB. It has taken you a couple of years, but you have finally joined Ms Stein

and Ms Sarandon in that thankfully small group of women completely untethered from any notions of rational thought, mature reason or common sense.

[sop]

10. I wasn't aware Bernie was "trashing his own supporters." What's that about?

And the part about "committed to maintaining power for Dems than claiming it for his own movement" reveals a breathtaking degree of political illiteracy...unless the individual writing this is actually a Trump supporter.

[highplainsdem]

15. Sanders said that opposing Biden is irresponsible. LBN thread about article:

[sop]

18. Oh, right. I guess urging his supporters not to elect Trump is an insult.

[highplainsdem]

21. Apparently the Bernie or Busters wanted him to endorse their hissy fit.

[mcar]

11. There's another one losing a paycheck

[Blue_true]

38. She is worth something like $7-$11 million.

Like Susan Sarandon (worth tens of millions), she won't suffer under more years of Trump. She can afford to be petty.

[mcar]

43. UGH

[NurseJackie]

12. She's as stupid as Sarandon. So so stupid!

[dustyscamp]

13. I wish these people didn't have so much influence

[njhoneybadger]

16. That's freaking ridiculous

[GeorgiaPeanut]

17. That woman needs a straight jacket and a shot of haloperidol

[musette_sf]

19. FYYFF

that is all

[Snake Plissken]

20. If you Google her video clip on The Hill all she does is pimp right wing propaganda

as she is doing now

[still_one]

22. KB, and others with that mindset have relegated themselves to the dustbin

of irrelevance

Fuck them

[Me.]

23. The Worm Turns

BS trashing his sopporters?

[GoCubsGo]

25. Somebody needs to find a cult deprogrammer for Ms. Ball.

She needs help, badly.

[ConnorMarc]

28. Who can blame her?

When the Establishment fails so colossally all the time, it can turn some people a bit nuts sometimes.

We all respond differently to trauma, however, bashing a traumatized person isn't the wisest thing to do.

I wonder how old some of you posters are, the way you respond.

And you called Bernie Bros rude and crude...sheesh!!!

#SMDH

[OAITW r.2.0]

36. I can!

I've seen this schtick many times in the past. She can join the leftward(?) enemies of Democrats who hopefully are becoming even less influential then they were a couple of weeks ago.

[Demsrule86]

40. Why would she be traumatized.

[lapucelle]

46. ...

[JI7]

29. She is like Trump and says and does anything for personal profit

[Takket]

31. even Bernie Sanders cannot appease Bernie Sanders supporters...........

[yardwork]

32. Who cares.

[MerryBlooms]

39. Meh. I can talk to 10 people who follow basic

politics, and none of them will have heard of her. I only know of her because of DU primary forum. Average Joe couldn't give less of a shit if they tried.

[Blasphemer]

41. Wow. That right there tells you all you need to know about what went wrong with the BS campaign. nt

[Poiuyt]

42. I hate to say this, but

Bernie has his cult followers just like someone else we know. Don’t get me wrong—I like him too. But his opportunity to be president is over.

[ehrnst]

45. No Krystal, Bernie has always been committed to articulating a just vision for America AND

moving the ball forward toward that end. In other words, progress on redressing social ills actually matters to him more than merely staking out a supposedly "righteous" position in the abstract.

Yes, sometimes Bernie has positioned himself in front of a curve that he hopes he can help move toward him, but never so far out in front of it as to become politically irrelevant. THAT is skilled political craft of a sort that too many leftist agitators are incapable of mastering, and as a result too often a realistic leftist vision for America never stands any chance of advancing toward enactment.

Bernie gets attacked from all sides. Some Democratic Party purists tend to anger at the degree of political Independence Bernie maintains. Some Movement purists tend to anger at the degree of cooperation and coordination with the Democratic Party that Bernie maintains. But Bernie cares about both addressing social ills AND winning, because ultimately it takes the latter in order to achieve the former. He gets it and I deeply respect him for that. A Movement that can only divide us when we desperately need to unite in common cause has no power beyond the power to obstruct the progress that lies within our reach.

Fortunately the vast majority of Sanders supporters realize what he is trying to do and fully support his call for unity behind Joe Biden now.
