    Yeah, it's kind of a weird thing for me with Bernie. The old man wasn't even really a threat to capital, but seems like they wouldn't even grant any concessions. I guess the have no reason to.

    But I also think the insurgency of Bernie was a threat to the usual coronation of lib elites. I dunno. It might not matter much, but it's kinda fascinating to me.

      I guess what I'm saying is there's a difference between Jeff Bezos not liking Bernie and Neera Tanden not liking Bernie. The former is because of his threat to capital, the later is because he'd end a huge part of the DNC consultancy grift.

        No, I understand what you mean, sorry if I was unclear. My only thought on it is that for someone like bezos, why not support Bernie. I could imagine if the grossest abuses of capital were limited, you could stave off the guillotine and whatnot. I only mean that Bernie is a soft reformer type dude, not so much a threat to capital.

        As far as neera tanden, Killary types, totally agree. We, the great unwashed, just aren't really in their tea party lib world or whatever, and if those people were beholden to us as a donor class...I honestly don't even know what that would mean.
