This, by Martin Longman, is exactly right. He mentions Neera Tanden, and perhaps on purpose doesn't note that when she announced she had Covid-19, the usual Bernie trolls came out and basically hoped that she would die of it. The dead-end Berners are not Sanders himself. They are narcissistic sociopaths. Many of the most vocal are children of wealth who have adopted a form of radical politics that they think looks chic on them. They thought shit-posting was the key to victory.
When I think about the Trumpenproletariat and Rose Twitter, they are basically brats. Grown adults who never grew out of their bratty three year old selves. Cult 45 wants to get their hair dyed and their fredums and they don't care if they kill people to do it. Dead end Sandernistas simply want to win Twitter beefs without really caring about the humans at the other end of the discussion. If they can't win, they will take their Twitter feed and go home.
Life isn't fair, folks. It sucks that this is happening. We would have graduated our Seniors today, and I got choked up about what they missed. But shit happens, and it happens whether you care about it or not. The universe doesn't give two shits about your plans or your desires. Most people grow up and realize this. Those that don't put on camo and strap military grade weapons across their chests or elevate Twitter into a twisted form of performance art.
