You came across someone lazily writing about a 45 second statement that took a stream of consciousness statement about the uncertainty of this moment and the media doing what they always do which is focusing on the most sensationalist angle and Stewart cautioned against people following suit into catastrophizing on the medias terms as a bridge to bringing on Sanders where they spent the next 58 minutes discussing how to respond to Trump, how address the underlying conditions of Americans anger, how to address our political systems corruption and moneyed capture, what policies and reforms could make people regain faith in government, how to improve labor conditions for the working class, how to get Democrats to value the norms that matter but push past the ones that don't to help actually pass their agendas, and the ways that people can stand up for workers and continually expose Trump's hypocrisy.
But by all means, go on and offer your alternative perspective on these issues if you are so fucking offended by the takes of Bernie and Stewart.
I actually would fucking love to hear what your advice is for everything they spoke about, if you can actually recall what it is their discussion entailed since you are so fucking confident in your takes. Like please, summarize their points and tell me why it is they are wrong substantively and what you propose as an alternative. And not just on the first 45 seconds but the entire fucking conversation. Like I would be very curious what it is exactly you disagree with on their criticisms of the failures of incrementalism and the failures of securing healthcare rights as a starting point for this conversation.
Now for Exel to sulk and not post for another 8 months when nobody comes to defend her.
