The Left must realize that Bernie Sanders isn't reasonable

[MannyGoldstein]

And that's we Lefties must be Ready for Bernie.*

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
- George Bernard Shaw, Socialist (and writer)

*or Elizabeth

[Fumesucker]

1. An unreasonable man and a difficult woman

Quite a combination.

[sadoldgirl]

2. If Bernie is unreasonable,

then so am I. And guess what: I can live with that happily!

[Downwinder]

3. You and I.

And hopefully many many others.

[baldguy]

4. Of course, *some* of those who claim to be on "The Left"

don't have a primary goal of electing Bernie or Elizabeth. They just want to see the Dem nominee lose - whoever that nominee may be.

In this case, "unreasonable" means ignoring every issue that Bernie & Elizabeth agree with the mainstream party on (which is the great majority of them), having a good pout when the Dems take a pass on having Karl Marx and Rand Paul write the party platform, trying to "teach the Democrats a lesson" even if it means having GOP victories until the end of time, and insisting that anyone who wants to inject a small dose of reality into the conversation is some sort of quasi-fascist thug.

5. Conclusions any Reasonable Democrat would draw.

Thank you for splashing us with the cool waters of reality.

Any thinking person would recognize at once that Liberals only exist to simultaneously elect economic scholars and Libertarians, that holding banks accountable under the law and addressing skyrocketing income inequality is only an inconsequential quibble with today's Democratic Party.

And that war is peace.

Thank you. You've certainly made yourself clear.

6. He has my support

[adirondacker]

7. I wish I had seen that quote years ago.

It might have saved a relationship

[99Forever]

8. Sounds reasonable to me.

I'm in.

[bigwillq]

9. Bernie has my support

if he decides to run.

[Nye Bevan]

10. I hope he runs. At the very least it will make the primary debates more interesting (nt)

[Jim Lane]

11. I agree. I'll even buy him his fan. (n/t)

12. There is a bumper sticker I see a lot that I just love.

Well behaved women seldom make history. I think that can be said for anybody trying to change the world. Here's to all the unreasonable and men and women who behave badly and who have and will change our world.

[liberal_at_heart]

13. kick because I'm tired of the he'll never make it crap.
