Conspiracy Pox


cjones03102020

I would really love it if Democrats would stop sounding like Donald Trump supporters.

It’s bad enough that Vladimir Putin is helping Bernie Sanders because he believes that’s the best way to help Donald Trump. It’s just as bad that Bernie Bro’s are online dicks and trolls. And then, you even have Bernie complaining about the “establishment.”

Let’s make something perfectly clear. There is no grand conspiracy to “steal” the nomination from Bernie Sanders. Before Super Tuesday, he only had 58 delegates. That’s a long way from securing the nomination. Nobody is rigging the system against Bernie. And to show you just how stupid it is to play the conspiracy game about the DNC and Bernie, Donald Trump called the endorsements from Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, and Beto O’Rourke a “coup” against Bernie.

Congratulations, Democratic conspiracy theorists. You’re on the same level of thinking and paranoia as Donald Trump. Voting or endorsing is not a coup. It’s democratic. It’s politics. Bernie would have to be the leader of the party and then thrown out in an illegal manner for it to be a coup. Donald Trump’s excuse for not knowing the definition of a coup is that he’s Donald Trump. If you’re a Democrat, you don’t have an excuse.

Donald Trump sandwiches his conspiracy theories about the DNC between his conspiracy theories about Ukraine election meddling and his conspiracy theories about Covid-19 being out to get him. Don’t be like Trump. You’re supposed to be better than that.

You don’t need a conspiracy to believe the majority of the party rejects a socialist who isn’t a member of the party. You don’t need a conspiracy theory that the majority doesn’t want to run a socialist against Donald Trump. You need a conspiracy theory to believe Beto O’Rourke, who is no longer in Congress, is a failed Senate candidate, and a failed presidential candidate represents the establishment.

The DNC didn’t give Joe Biden a huge win Tuesday night. Democratic voters did. If you really believe black voters, who solidly supported Joe Biden, are the establishment, then I challenge you to put that on a T-Shirt and sell it.

What happened Tuesday night may not have even been a sound rejection of Bernie Sanders as much as it was a mandate that the majority of voters are ready to move on to the nominee and start the campaign against Donald Trump. I don’t think there’s better proof of that than Elizabeth Warren coming in third in Massachusetts.

No, her constituents don’t hate her. They’re not sexist. They’re ready to move on. They saw that Warren doesn’t stand a chance to get the nomination so they put their eggs in baskets where they thought they’d be used better. Basically, her voters in her state didn’t view her as a candidate anymore. Hell, most of them would probably prefer her but she’s no longer in the game. Maybe on Tuesday, she finally got that message.

I like Bernie. I like Elizabeth. I would prefer one of them over Biden. But I get it. The party wants to move. And, you don’t have to like it. Just deal with reality. The thing is, it’s not important if Bernie, Liz or Joe is the President of the United States of America. What’s important is that Donald Trump is not. That’s the reality you need to get.

Take this from a guy who shouts at his television and talks to himself along with inanimate objects: Stop talking like you’re in the Trump cult…or I’ll call the truck and have them take you away.

  1. The exit polls show that the young voters didn’t turn up in the big numbers Bernie needed to win big. I agree that it isn’t a conspiracy. This is a result of who showed up to vote. Bernie can’t win if his supporters attend the rallies, but don’t show up to the polls.

  2. Well, as it turns out you were actually wrong this time. And this actually sucks.

    Yep. This is stone cold accurate, the newly anointed over-performing miracle vote-getting, self- congratulating Grand Poobah in waiting didn’t actually win all those primary states after all and nobody… I do mean NOBODY knows how to break it to him.

    Also all of the candidates who were forced… ahem gently encouraged by the DNC to drop out, are not particularly amused.

    THE PRIMARY WAS RIGGED. THE DNC FELL FOR IT. THEY TALKED EVERYBODY INTO ENDING THEIR CAMPAIGNS AND ALL HELL IS BREAKING LOOSE. REPUBLICANS VOTED IN THE PRIMARY AND DELIBERATELY BOOSTED THE WEAKEST CANDIDATE TO HELP TRUMP. Yep. True story.

  3. Corporate Dems deliberately flooded the Democratic primaries with a lot of people running, unknowns really, in order to dilute the chances of Bernie Sanders getting the nomination.
    That became painfully obvious when they started dropping out and biden picked up most of their delegates.
