Why are moderates pretending to be progressive?

Hmmmm, "American'ts". Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, RT.com.

Hey @ttystikk , what gives you a bigger thrill - betraying your girlfriend by forcing her to earn you money by fucking strangers or betraying your country?

Would it change if Russia gave you meff?
Somebody should give @ttystikk a compliment so that he can refresh the list of praise he posts in his sig line. The current list is pretty old. It's been a while.

It’s self evident that Bernie did register as a Dem and he did this to join the “team”.
Sanders registers as a Democrat to run for president for three reasons

1. he caucuses with the Democratic party
2. it's virtually impossible to win the presidency running as an Independent
3. running as an Independent would ensure a Republican victory by splitting the Democratic vote (just like Howard Schultz plans on doing if Sanders or Warren wins the 2020 dem primary)

Sanders has fought for Democratic causes his entire political career. The reason he doesn't register as a Democrat is because the Democratic party is too moderate

Those of you claiming Sanders should run as an Independent either want him to lose or want him to ensure Trump wins reelection

Running as a Democrat exposes the political structure, including the DNC/DCCC, for what it is and how it only supports status quo establishment candidates because it's run behind the scenes by donor control. Democrats like Frank and Pelosi freely admit it, it's not a secret, yet naive members deny it. The DNC bylaws reaffirms neutrality among candidates, yet they deny it. The DNCs own team of lawyers remarked in open court as a defense against the 2016 democratic primary corruption they could "choose the Democratic nominee in a smoke filled backroom", they continue to deny it..


They say they don't cheat, never have cheated, didn't need to cheat... but then in the next breath say they're allowed to cheat since Sanders isn't a Democrat, he's not on "the team", he should know better, etc...

So which is it? Do you want Sanders, or don't you? Is he a good Democratic senator you need or a bad Independent presidential candidate you're afraid of winning? Are his policies radical or are they mainstream and everyone always supported them? Is he so rich he's a hypocrite with three houses for fighting wealth and income inequality or a poor rapist writer who never held a real job in his life..?

He seems to be everything all at once, whenever it's convenient for the argument the author is trying to pass off as legitimate..

You quoted me but again reading comprehension is not your strong point I see. Not once did I say I cared who he aligned with. My point was Tty spewing his fact free bullshit once again.

The moderates that are pretending to be progressive are lost children playing follow the leader. They must be in the popular crowd. It’s that simple. They don’t care how crazy it gets or where the country goes. THis is a thing about popularity and scoring points for them. Not everyone should be allowed to vote. Lol. Seriously needs to be some kind of test
