In his response to Maxwell, Greenwald gushes about Sanders’s “lifelong commitment to equal justice and opportunity,” “long-time commitment to racial justice,” and “decadeslong devotion to issues of racial equality.” None of this is surprising — Greenwald has been an outspoken partisan of the Sanders wing of the Democratic Party for years.

Occasionally a journalist’s comment coincides with the truth. I noticed that you didn’t refute Greenwald’s assessment, only that he had voiced it. You would seem to approve of a journalist that simply allows outright lies to pass as the truth so they don’t appear “biased”? MSNBC blatantly collaborated with the establishment wing of the DNC, and not just by omission.

If we are assigning blame for Trump’s victory and jumping completely over the DNC, MSNBC, and CNN to arrive at some narrative concerning Russian involvement we are hanging hopes on a very small fraction of that blame. Any attempt to do so can only be considered as attempted preservation of systematic corruption with a very negative agenda. The parties involved have only slightly switched up their delivery, now falsely attributing Bernie’s platform from ’16 to the current establishment candidates as if they were “just like Bernie” all along.

Why would a corporate establishment whore like Biden even make a claim to being “progressive” if it wasn’t political hackery? If his beliefs coincide with his record, which I’m sure they do, why try to pretend to be something else? He should be attempting to show how his votes and actions improved the lives of Americans, not changing colors constantly to match public opinion. Trump sucked up all the air for political chamelions by running as an anti-war populace candidate and then managing directly 180 from anything he said in the campaigns. I wouldn’t expect Americans, especially Democrats, to fall for that again.
