Bernie Sanders is trash. No accomplishments after decades in Congress, failed to build alliances and coalitions, and criticizes everybody’s record when all he does is grandstand, protest, and leave the hard decisions to everybody else. Then when you question his ideas he gets defensive and crotchety. Why would anyone want this idiot to be President?

You are part of the problem.
Nothing I said was a lie. Sanders touts his ideologically pure record but it’s been at the cost of doing nothing significant in his centuries in Washington and having no coalitions in place to get legislation passed as President. Meanwhile he will criticize real leaders who have brokered deals and passed meaningful policy as being establishment. He can miss me with his bullsh**t.

LOL at the idea that the amendment king of the 1995-2006 House was some sort of purist who never got anything significant done. Bernie could have killed ObamaCare by voting against it from the left like some House Democrats did, but instead he got funding for community health clinics for millions of people added to the bill.

I find it more than a little hilarious that any sort of scepticism towards O'Rourke is immediately attacked because he's the darling of the Third Way/New Democrats.

Also, addressing the idea that Sanders and his supporters will be exiled .  . . That sounds like a perfect way to ensure a decade or two of Republican rule.

Third Way is a bunch of special snowflakes. They can dish it out, but they whine so loudly when someone dares point out that their record on the issues sucks.

The year is 2019. Bill Clinton and Tony Blair haven't held office for over a decade. Third Way is not a thing.

And the DLC went under before Beto was even elected to Congress.
.
Third Way is an active think tank, and Beto is a New Democrat. From the first paragraph of the Wiki page for New Democrat:

LOL at BRTD acting like Third Way Democrats don't exist any more.
