There’s not a whole hell of a lot that’s new here, but it’s important to remember that if you’re not recognizing the country we’ve known, colonialist and imperialist as it’s been over the years, you’re not alone.

    Bernie is an independent leftist. That he caucuses with the Dems does not make him such.

    But he’s ultimately a pragmatist, looking to do that weird thing we don’t expect of politicians: Making people’s lives better.

    We’re so used to getting fucked by our handlers that it seems most can’t recognize someone with a coherent, consistent stance over decades.
