Thread about how Democrats should be so grateful Bernie Sanders came along and inspired the youth of America to get involved in party politics. /sarc

1/

Bernie "inspired" his flock to think our nominee is evil, our party is corrupt & that little birds should pick the president.

Thanks a lot Bernie!
2/

Bernie "inspired" his flock to believe bipartisanship demonstrates weakness, compromise is failure, and that throwing a temper tantrum is an effective advocacy strategy.

Thanks Bernie!
3/

Bernie "inspired" his flock to think middle class white kids are the base of the Democratic party, that civil rights are an afterthought, that women's issues are a "distraction."

Thanks so much Bernie!
4/

Bernie "inspired" his flock to think black voters "distort" the electorate, to lament how the primaries would have turned out differently if only white people had voted, and to claim that black people would have supported Bernie if they knew any better.

5/

Bernie "inspired" his flock to find virtue in provincialism, to romanticize dysfunctional white culture, and to prioritize sustaining an outmoded way of life over making real progress.

Thanks!
6/

Bernie "inspired" his flock to believe rules shouldn't apply to them, that process can be ignored, and that procedural hurdles can be overcome by brute force and ignorance.

Thanks a lot!
7/

Bernie "inspired" his flock with to use magical thinking instead critical thinking, to fantasize instead of strategize, and that wishes and dreams can substitute for hard data.

Thanks Bernie!
8/

Bernie "inspired" his flock to believe Democrats are the problem while Republicans are potential allies, to channel momentum into opposing anyone who refuses to bow to their High Sparrow instead of joining the Resistance in battling Trump.

Thanks a lot, Bernie!
9/

Bernie "inspired" his flock to believe that voter suppression is a cop out, that Russia is a conspiracy, and to believe anything he tells them over what they see with their lying eyes.

Thanks so much, Bernie!

10/

Bernie "inspired" a generation of activist-dilettantes who don't understand what it takes to win a primary or how a bill becomes a law.

Thanks Bernie!

11/

Bernie "inspired" his flock to value the viewpoint of 70k rust belt white men over the Obama coalition, 66 million strong, who voted for Democrats.

Thanks, but no thanks, Bernie. No thank you.

Thank god Bernie is almost over. Pls feel free to add your own to this thread.
