I'm gonna go with threatened with [fill in the blank]. AT least he didn't have scabs and bruises on his face like Bernie did at the Dem Convention when he unceremoniously and unexplainably conceded to the Hillbot.

LOL so true.

The only difference is that Yang could meet an accident sooner or later to be eventually forgotten.

But back then Bernie could have actually MADE a difference. Either by squealing about it or dying trying to - either way not forgettable.

Exactly. He could have really leveraged his popularity to make massive changes. Instead, he kowtowed to TPTB for what? A fake chance to run again? And to largely ignore Tulsi, who stepped down from the DNC just to endorse him?!?

Bernie's a clown pretending to be a progressive.

Personally I think it's not that bad...I believe he was sincere but had NO idea how bad and dark it gets the closer you get to the "top." Now he does...

Come on. That's very charitable of you but he's been in the political business all his life and I'm quite sure that he's noticed that the higher you go the more corrupt it gets with higher and higher stakes. In his 30 years, even if he's come across 5% of what I have over the last 5 years then he'd damn well know all about everything from the pedophocracy to the technocracy to the corporatocracy to the kakistocracy etc etc etc. Not to mention all the inside trading (legal for all in the house and senate) and inside rumours, etc.

He's part of the clown world run by the war hawk party with two wings.
