Bernie's been courting the red brown crowd for a LONG time though.

He went on Rogan before it was cool, he also went on Chapo for that matter.

Tulsi gabbard was part of the sanders institute for years and years despite the fact that anyone who paid a second of attention knew she's a disingenuous reactionary. (I'm old enough to remember getting harassed by Bernie bros for pointing out how shitty she was, because she agreed with Bernie therefore was a True Progressive ™️)

He hired Matt orfalea, who got famous for making a video sexualizing the I Have A Dream speech, and who went on to use the phone bank information he had to call people and tell them not to vote for Biden in 2020

Cenk, TYT and the rest of the dirtbag sphere were his biggest fans.

His press secretary Briana grey joy is just a professional 4chan troll and boatshoe socialist par excellence who went on to openly praise trump, gren grenwald, and Tucker Carlson amongst other things.

And his fanbase was/is so rabidly aggressive that it made mainstream news at least once, which is fueled by his grievance baby tendencies.

“This never works for the left though. That’s because the left actually believes in things and has a real material program it wants to pass.”

Nice stake through the heart of the lazy ‘both sides’ approach. Thanks.
