WASHINGTON — Senator Bernie Sanders, in a rare and forceful rebuke by a presidential candidate of an influential party ally, has accused a liberal think tank of undermining Democrats’ chances of taking back the White House in 2020 by “using its resources to smear” him and other contenders pushing progressive policies.
...
Mr. Sanders sent the letter days after a website run by the action fund, ThinkProgress, suggested that his attacks on income inequality were hypocritical in light of his growing personal wealth. The letter is tantamount to a warning shot to the Democratic establishment that Mr. Sanders — who continues to criticize party insiders on the campaign trail — will not countenance a repeat of the 2016 primary, when he and his supporters believe party leaders and allies worked to deny him the Democratic nomination.
...
The letter takes issue with ThinkProgress’ commentary on the acknowledgment by Mr. Sanders, who represents Vermont in the Senate as an independent, that he himself became a millionaire partly by writing a best-selling book. One ThinkProgress post deemed the revelation “very off-brand and embarrassing.” Another post contained a video seeking to demonstrate that, as he grew wealthier, he altered his repeated denunciations of “millionaires and billionaires” to no longer include as many references to millionaires.
In his letter, Mr. Sanders accused ThinkProgress of “dishonestly” questioning his attacks on income inequality.

The democratic socialist is
The democratic socialist is an honest bonafide self-made millionaire, while Trump who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth hides his taxes, is dishonest about his net worth and can't keep his lies straight. I suppose we have to give Donnie credit for being the "better" con man- Bernie is now apologizing for his wealth in advance of releasing his taxes because you just know that Donnie is going to try and shame him for being successful at making money. The irony is rich.

Does it really matter? Any/all of them are better than Trump, then again so was Hilary last time. Don’t fuck it up this time. And spare me the bullshit about the DNC being to blame. Trump won because Bernie bros didn’t listen to him and vote for her, and the other morons who didn’t get out and vote.
But yeah, Bernie or any Dem running should win if people pull their head out of their asses and show up and vote for the Democratic candidate
