A Day Late, Bernie Utters a Hard Truth

From the Tom Woods Letter:

Despite raising a billion dollars, the Harris campaign somehow ends $20 million in debt.

That’s especially sad when we consider: the campaign actually had far more than a billion dollars.

It had nonstop cheerleading from the media (including sympathetic edits of interviews), from airhead celebrities, from corrupt academia, and so on down the list of predictable culprits.

Its opponent was tied up in frivolous and idiotic lawsuits obviously intended to target him because of who he was rather than for anything he had done.

It had the benefit of prominent voices risibly warning, nonstop, of the return of Hitler.

And it still wound up $20 million in debt.

You’d think that would be an opportune moment for reflection about what might have gone wrong.

Nope. The best they can come up with is: the country is more fascist than we thought.

Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders has just issued a statement about the election result.

Note that Bernie decided to wait until the day after the election to unbosom his criticism of the state of the Democrats.

Bernie has been a reliable team player, even when he’s seen up close the dirty tricks the party establishment has used against him. When they need his endorsement, it’s always forthcoming. Ron Paul, he is not.

But one thing we can say for him: unlike 99.999% of Democrats surveying Tuesday’s wreckage, Bernie is admitting that something has gone terribly wrong with the brand itself:

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.

The status quo the Democrats are defending is of course in much more than economics. It’s in foreign policy, too, where they are reliably wedded to the bipartisan consensus. And it’s in health, where there appears to be zero interest in the explosion in chronic disease among Americans — and when RFK, Jr., suggests we look into what might be causing it, he’s dismissed as a kook.

That’s what they say about anyone who asks any fundamental question, and who makes a mental prison break out of the Romney-to-Biden Axis of Evil.

Ron Paul was a kook — why, who would ever have anything critical to say about our awesome monetary system?

And of course only a kook would criticize anything about our medical establishment!

That stuff used to work, and it still does on many people, but its strength is fading.

The so-called respectable people have had their chance; how could the “kooks” do any worse?
