I'm describing the need in some circles to demonize anyone who disagrees with them as being toxic. Bernie people did it to Clinton and now Biden. Clinton/Biden people continue to do it to Bernie.

The level of greed in politics will still be sky high as will the level of corporate cronyism no matter who gets elected. Viewing mainstream candidates from either party as petty fascists may be extreme, but we are living in extreme times and need to at least try to take extreme measures to correct course. Otherwise we are just on the same path to destroying ourselves and the planet albeit at a much slower pace. But by all means tell people that are otherwise on your side that they need to get over themselves or are trump supporters if they don’t blindly follow the dogma of the corporate run Democrats...I’m sure that will bring us one step closer to ending trumps presidency 🙄Scio me nihil scire

We are probably 20 years away of having a chance to elect someone as hard left as Bernie. We never have before and Bernie and his poicies have limited support in Congress currently.
It makes a lot of sense for Bernie supporters to acknowledge that the basic premise of being a democrat is that we believe we the people can band together and help when help is needed.
It makes a lot more of sense for Bernie supporters to remain part of the process. Push Biden’s m4a to be as low cost as possible if he does become president . To make enrollment easy and often. To make it available to anyone who wants it, like Pete says.0 -

Hi! said:
Many of Gabbard’s Fox News hits during her presidential campaign have involved defending the president, even as she campaigns to run against him. Last October, as the House’s inquiry into Trump’s attempts to pressure Ukraine into digging up dirt on Joe Biden began to heat up, Gabbard slammed the “very, very partisan” impeachment, which she insisted only serves to “tear apart an already divided country.” (She later voted “present” on the impeachment articles). While Gabbard criticized the president’s targeted killing of Qasem Soleimani on Fox News, she has also used appearances to call Hillary Clinton a “warmonger” and vouch for those who “decided that they would vote for Trump because of what he was saying on the campaign trail about ending stupid wars and bringing our troops home.”
Gabbard’s treatment of Trump is a departure from the Obama years, when she became Fox News’ go-to Democrat for bashing the administration’s foreign policy and then president Barack Obama’s refusal to use the terms “Islamic extremism” or “radical Islam.” Her recent praise for a Republican president and criticism of the Democratic establishment, coupled with her decision not to run again for her congressional seat, has fueled speculation that she’s considering launching an independent bid or auditioning for a Fox News role.
