Former 2016 Berniebro here. I'd like to think that every former Berniebro who wasn't completely retarded already realized that Bernie is basically nothing more than a figurehead that the DNC keeps to appease liberals and progressives.
2020 Berniebros are useful idiots who don't realize they're being duped by the DNC.
Former Berniebro here, can confirm: Comrade Bernie is a useless do nothing who was only useful in getting young, first time voters to choose communism over anything useful
Thomas Sowell, David Horowitz and many legendary communist-loathing defenders of liberty were Marxists in their youth. Sometimes, oftentimes the ones with the most courage are those who know first-hand how malevolent and dangerous Leftism really is.
Please keep sharing your story as you see fit, guys. It can be very powerful in opening the eyes of those still under the grip of Leftism. It’s not embarrassing to have battled lies and come out stronger - the only thing embarrassing is those who still dream and scheme about how wonderful it will be to wield total power over others. And calling that “embarrassing” is putting it lightly. It’s sick and evil.
You know the saying, "It's easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled." But red-pilling yourself is even harder, and way less common. It takes real independence of thought. You have my utmost respect.
Yep. Ain't nothing wrong with admitting you're wrong on something. To me it shows a high level of maturity that surpasses they side vs. your side mentality that is so toxic in politics.
I was pretty split between Bernie and Trump the first go round. A vote for either was a vote for drastic change. Then Bernie got robbed by the DNC and somehow got a mansion. Trump felt like a vote to burn it all down but he proved to be a builder.
Bernie was and always has been a tool to drive youth voting and nothing else. He was used to generate excitement on the left amongst young people and then send that support to the party approved candidates in exchange for a bag of cash. He was never a real threat to anyone.
This tbh. He is the establishment puppet that only pretends to be anti-establishment to appease the extremists, and then re-direct the extremists to support the establishment they claim to hate so much.
Because current 2020 Berniebros still think that he is legitimately fighting for them against the awful corrupt DNC and that one day they'll get their Bernie/AOC dream...only to have Bernie say "and that's why we have to support the DNC to defeat those awful republicans/Trump".
He knows the DNC will never let him have any sort of leadership position. He's one of the most convincing grifters, and it should've been obvious when he went from "the millionaires and billionaires" to "the billionaires". AOC is most likely the same too.
Skye - thanks for sharing. The “why” around Bernie Bros is an interesting thesis. Young people almost crave to be victim status. It’s in the human geno - exaggerations of childhood drama to peak attention... then as we grow older and realize - holy shit, I have to do this human thing by myself, no one there to do it for me - redpill is the beer toxin that sets you free from victim enslavement.
Well the "why" for me comes from the fact that I realized that a lot of the things that I wanted when I was still a Berniebro, was fulfilled by Trump. He helped the middle class and improved the economy. He's spitting out peace deals. And he did it without needing to resort to like full on socialism too.
I wouldn't say that my values really changed. It's mainstream leftism itself that changed and become further and further left. Trump winning in 2016 just made the left's masks fall off. Believe it or not, the full on communism destroy capitalism Antifa types were not super common among the Bernie groups I was in back in 2016, and nobody really took them seriously. Now they're basically the norm.
The Berniebros who weren't completely retarded got the fuck out. The retarded cunts who currently comprise the 2020 Berniebros became further left in order to keep up with leftism.
Like Rage Against the Machine and similar. SOTD at least seems to keep to their specific causes and are composedof multiple view points. Even the lead singer pushes for nuclear power over fairy farts and moonbeams.
He was popular because he was a populist. He talked to people that the Republicans and Democrats ignored, while they appealed to billionaires and war mongers. The problem is that Bernie has pie in the sky solutions.
Either way these two major political parties are just about the same except that Republicans have more guns and the Democrats have more assless chaps.
Bernie does a good job pointing out fraud and injustice. Just like Trump. Trump however knows how to create a booming economy. That's where Bernie falls down, he doesn't have any plan and would crash the economy.
I think it's worse than that though. Sure, Bernie points out the fraud and gets his fanbase to hate the DNC and stuff, but then at the last minute he goes and tells them that they have to rally behind the DNC anyways in order to beat those awful republicans/Trump.
Hell, way back in the day, Bernie also realized that TPP sucked and was against it. But so was Trump, and that's why Trump addressed TPP. But Bernie is still orangemanbad and just parrots the exact same overall message of the DNC and says his supporters all have to rally behind the DNC.
I know I'm going to sound all tinfoil hat like, but I really think at this point that Bernie is just a paid DNC shill. He is the establishment puppet that the establishment purposely keeps around in order to appease the far-left progressives.

Bless you both for your personal honesty and willingness to address lies and truth that might have been unwelcome at the time.
Yes, thank you. It seems very difficult to wake up to conservatism when you're a Bernie supporter, but so happy they all came around!
It's almost like coming out saying I got AIDS from fucking monkeys. Not something I would personally be sharing. Still, bless you all. 👍

Theres a puppet for every crowd. Im aware of this and so should EVERYONE else here.

Am I close?

Astute observation, that’s now further backed up by new research just released:

"AOC is most likely the same too." she's defiantly the same but isn't that relevant as sanders, aoc cares about the poor while wearing expensive suits
Yea I bet it is easy to be a communist in America lol.
In chyna he’d be dead by now.

If they can pay him then they own him.
bernard truly is da greatest cuck of all time
he's not a cuck like the others, he's a ultra omega cuck. Maybe he's their overlord...

Didn’t he used to be against mass immigration... until the DNC corrected him?
Then there's the whole fundamental ideology difference, you know...
You work, therefore you should keep your money and you should choose how you spend it.
VS
You work and are too dumb to know what to do with it, so we'll force you to share it with people who don't work.
Except everytime Bernie loses he endorse the very same people he calls corrupted.
