You know, I'm generally contrary to conspiracy theories. I believe that whenever you can use human stupidity to explain something, that's the most likely explanation. So I'm having a hard time understanding Bernie Sanders. He seems to have an IQ greater than 50, so it must be clear to him that the Democratic Party doesn't give a shit about him or want him at all. So if he's still part of the party, I can only conclude that he's another part of the plutocratic toolkit. Think about it. Given the obscene levels of economic inequality and the level of corruption of both parties, it's bound to happen that someone like Sanders will become popular and eventually drag power away from the uber rich. So, what's the solution? Create a puppet Sanders that makes sure he never has a chance to win any election, but has the double purpose of being an outlet for everyone's frustrations, and making sure that the far right stays in power.
If Sanders had any dignity, or any intention of causing real political change, he would have given the finger with both hands to the Democratic Party a long time ago. At his point I just can't take anything he says seriously.
