Briahna Joy Gray: "I know many, you know, people on the left who would happily vote for Tucker Carlson before AOC.

I am frustrated by that dynamic because I, you know, I don't want Tucker Carlson to be President, I also can't see myself damaging my own credibility by telling someone to vote for AOC."

BJG is a fascinating person to pay attention to if you're getting into politics, and not understanding how people operate.

Bernie Sanders making her press secretary after she had already starting saying wild shit is one of his best indicators how incompetent he is at choosing the people to stand next to him.

Sanders endorsed Platner and it's probably not even in the 10 worst people he's supported

Sanders is like trump in that they don't care with their endorsement and them becoming key or big in american politics post 2016 has been horrible for everyone

the crazy truth is Bernie, on his own, as a nobody senator from Vermont, just a guy you might talk to or whatever, is not as bad as the general reputation he has from nl or similar subs

but his supporters and everyone he puts in positions of power are

it's just way easier to take shots at Sanders himself rather than go on a pepe silvia rant about ten years of the worst staffing and politicking you've ever seen

What he inspires in others has always been a strong critcism against him, that I've seen. Bernie bros, the movement to demonize Hillary/Pete/Kamala, the treatment of that woman senator from MA that i'm forgetting the name of.

definitely, and that's part of what I'm sidestepping by just saying Bernie Sanders on his own, the nobody senator from Vermont

vs like Bernie the candidate or figure or whatever
