Kind of Blue
217. "Bernie lacks the leadership ability" to keep his grassroots from becoming a hindrance to his campaign."
Absolutely, because I think Bernie feels exactly as his extreme defenders do, so he acts slowly. Most of all, I think Bernie is not too concerned because he's a placeholder for Hillary. Just rounding up the far left because Hillary's name recognition is high among most black people, so he's got one job to do: fire them up, round them up, and hand them them over. Got to say though that Hillary leaves me cold, as well. Still got over a year to go so we'll see how much of our burn they start feeling when our drumbeat becomes deafening, as more blacks are killed by police than there were during the era of Jim Crow.

This is a response to the bravenak primitive's OP.
The primitive is claiming that the bern is a ringer to keep the kooks in the Dem party and voting for Billary when she becomes the nominee. The bern-outs won't like that characterization, and the bravenak primitive agrees with this poster saying so.
Regardless of the accuracy of the statement, it becomes the truth when the bern-outs lose the primary and have to choose in the GE between voting for the third-way corporate whore Billary or letting a Republican win the WH. So they'll deny the bern was a "placeholder", but when all is said and done, he'll turn out to be a placeholder because the bern-outs have no backbone when it comes to living up to their "no third-way" rhetoric.
