History professor here - THANK YOU for actually trying to get the idea that the past can teach us useful things. I study the French Revolution and I tell anyone who listens that we do not want a revolution. It never works out that way you want and so many people get hurt. It's all guillotines and slogans until the blood starts flowing..
Brilliant, Greg. I read you and Heather Cox Richardson, dare I say it, religiously. She has a deep and contextual understanding of history and explains it to us so clearly. You have the wit and wisdom to expose players for what they are and positions for the absurdities inherent in them. I feel armed and ready to do virtual battle because of you two. When I end up babbling incoherently and with an overabundance of memes on Twitter, totally frustrated and in righteous indignation, it is because I have forgotten what you two have taught me. I will try to do better. Thank you for lighting the way.
Sanders job is to divide the Democratic Party between far left and moderates, keep them fighting about the dream of peace and healthcare for all that leftists insists on to the moderate pragmatists who know that that program will never fly with Republicans. While continuing the fight about platform and social programs, Sanders, pushy as he is, will carry the fight to the convention where he will whip his supporters into a frenzy, where they threaten to walk out if Sanders isn’t the nominee, which of course he won’t be. Those dedicated Bernie bots will vow to stay home or vote for Trump in the general as payback. That’s what a Sanders did in 3016 and it’s his job again in 2020. Sanders never intended to be the president, just divide and conquer the democrats a party he has hated since the beginning of his career as a politician.
This is your best work Greg. Thanks.
