My Conversation with Markos regarding his Lack of Cred with Bernie Supporters. .

So Kos wants to advise Bernie and his supporters how to help down ballot candidates.Bernie did not do it well enough and Kos has advice.

I say this.

Why would Bernie supporters listen to you?

What a useless post.

A front pager jumps to attack:

So Bernie Sanders shouldn’t support downballot candidates because Markos suggested he do so?

And Kos does his little tantrum:

I thought you guys wanted a more progressive Democratic Party. I guess I was wrong.

So that’s right! Don’t support downballot progressives! Don’t build a bench! Don’t look toward building the party from the bottom up! Just be bitter and angry and then let history repeat itself in eight years because you didn’t feel that doing the hard work of building a truly broad-based movement was useful.

I’m sure that’ll turn out well.

And I respond:

I just think you have no credibility with Bernie supporters, Kos. None.

It’s not about your content.

I never said I would not support down ballot Dems. Those are all strawman arguments that you throw out at me. They really are disingenuous on your part and a bit of a temper tantrum.

You. Lack. Credibility. With. Bernie. Supporters.

That was my only point.

You can have a tantrum, but many folks are not listening to you anymore.

You made this.

Of course, the Clinton supporters attack me with lots of insults. I'm "unhinged."

Kos and the front pagers don't get it.

Bernie supporters do not listen to them.

They are stuck with the Hillary supporters. Rah, rah team!

The funny thing is, I will vote for Hillary. Don't like it, but will.

But why would any Bernie supporter listen to Kos or the front pagers there?

Young folks are the base of the Bernie movement.

And I will follow their lead, and I sure won't know it hanging out at Daily Kos.

Kos is an a-hole. I hope his blog dried up after the election and only his "loyal" cult can talk back and forth agreeing with each other. They threw me off for nothing what so ever. . His history is sketchy. too many ties to bad people, some are not forgivable
