Some have called Bernie Sanders a progressive. Others have called his one-stump speech and close to three decades doing virtually nothing in Congress “revolutions.” Those individuals, who have been pushing Bernie down the throats of Democrats, have credited this man with everything from being the “face” of “new” movements to practically promising to give free ponies to all.

This is an analysis of Bernie’s interactions with the Democrats and today, as well as a discussion of his efficacy and “progressive” acts.

Let’s start with his work ethic — it stinks: he is so lazy that he is ranked 31st by GovTrack, in terms of the number of bills written, and didn’t get a single one out of committee in 2017, making him the 39th least effective Senator of 10+ years in that category. His “amendment king” claim was rated as a D in terms of truthfulness by factcheckers. He has been the co-sponsor of only THREE bills in the time he’s been in Congress (nearly 3 decades), 2 of which named post offices, and the third raised a COLA rate for veterans. Whoop dee freaking do.

Here’s how Bernie the “revolutionary” treats women: His top ten 2016 campaign staffers were all…men. His staff is known for being comprised almost entirely of white men, he’s been called on it by multiple people, even in Vermont (which does have enough women and people of color to hire, and his DC office has no excuse whatsoever, as its population is largely peole of color), and he didn’t even hire a person of color (Symone Sanders) until 2015, which he only did AFTER being repeatedly pressed on this issue. Interestingly, Symone Sanders, Bernie’s ONE person of color staffmember, quit working for his campaign in 2016. In 2017, after 4 people kidnapped, tied up, robbed, tortured, and forced a disabled person to sleep in a van bound, for nearly 2 days, be taken to an apartment, and he was clad only in a tank top and shorts in a Chicago winter, Symone Sanders claimed that it was not a hate crime. She lied later that she never said it wasn’t a hate crime on Twitter. At least she acknowledged (unlike MANY Berners) that the DNC nomination/primary was in no way “rigged,” “stolen,” or otherwise “unfair.” Compare Bernie’s hiring policies to Hillary — she had the most diverse staff of any candidate, and over 1/3 of it was comprised of people of color.

But back to Bernie — the parasite, who, after Symone Sanders quit, appears to have had no interest in hiring or otherwise engaging members of oppressed classes unless he can find a few token members to say he’s some civil rights wonder. His record speaks otherwise. As Katha Pollitt expressed in The Nation, “Bernie is a traditional leftist for whom feminism is a distraction.” Bernie’s entire record is about one thing only — him, and sometimes he has this one speech about the woes of the white “working class” (a group he’s never really been a member of, since he spent his adult life living off of his wives, the government, doing nothing for taxpayers, and is in that 1% he hates so much).

Now, why call Bernie a parasite? Well, for several reasons. First, he has spent much of his life accepting money and support from Democratic entitities, but he’s also bashed the party consistently. He takes money from lobbyists and lobbies, but said the Democrats should be prohibited from doing so. Perhaps even more of a concern is that Bernie is the ONLY non-Republican accepting NRA/gun lobby money who is also in the top 25 recipients. So, this is a man who rails about horrible Democrat “shill cash,” but he accepts it at EVERY turn. He tweets about Amazon being horrible, but he had no problem accepting its sizable campaign contribution in 2016. This is what we call a parasite.

It gets worse. Bernie isn’t just a leech that wants to be fed by Democrats; he’s also trying to destroy us. He’s traveled to over 30 places around the country to push candidates who, like him, are NOT real Democrats, and he’s supporting primarying good Democrats who already face tough re-election bids and are sorely needed in this disaster that is the tRump adminstration. So, he’s trying to suck our blood and kill us (along with the nation, since destroying the 1 viable alternative to the GOP helps….the GOP).

It’s hardly surprising that Bernie doesn’t mind helping the GOP. He knew about Russian interference BEFORE the election, but instead of lifting that finger he loves to wag, he mirrored tRump and blamed such meddling on…wait for it…HILLARY. He’s also voted like the GOP/tRump on many issues, from Russian sanctions to guns.

The big question is, is Bernie’s parasitic garbage working? It seems the resounding NO that nearly 4 million more voters (for a total of almost 17 million) gave to him in 2016 just wasn’t enough to get him to realize that he’s obsolete. So, he’s pushed his strategy of trying to beat real Democrats and has claimed that the party is “broken.” Hmm…Here’s how that’s going for him:

It is hoped that by now, Bernie & his cult may realize that they do not control who wins, are NOT winning, and are not the face of the Democratic party. They are welcome to try forming a party on their own — the former chair of the “Draft Bernie for a People’s Party,” who has now changed the name to “Movement for a People’s Party” does not even have 40,000 likes on the web, which is pretty sad in the era of bots. To conclude:

Dear Bernie & cult,

We see you. You are NOT the base. You are NOT winning. It isn’t us —it’s you. We’re just not that into you. Size DOES matter — try for 4 million more next time…or, you know, don’t try at all. We’d love for you to simply go up in a cloud of that smoke emanating from the weed you buy with the money left over after you spend your $27.

Sincerely,

65 Million Americans
