‘Obama Gaslights’ … Sanders Urges His Primaries Voters to Back Biden … Rejecting Green Party Candidate Hawkins

A video of 44th U.S. president Barack Obama endorsing 47th U.S. vice president Joe Biden for the presidency of the United States has me, ordinarily, not wanting to give it any of my attention. After all, I have reached the point in which I generally do not want to read about or hear from Obama. (I like that U.S. president Donald Trump, once asked if he heard a speech delivered the night before by Obama, said no—he was not interested because, quite frankly, Trump is bored by Obama.) I made an exception. Jimmy Dore—and wife Stef Zamorano—delivered perceptively and terrifically in their responses to Obama’s bullshit in this segment of The Jimmy Dore Show.

One week after bowing out of the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, by “suspending” his campaign, Vermont U.S. senator Bernie Sanders endorsed this week presumptive nominee Joe Biden for the party’s nomination and for the presidency of the United States.

I don’t have as strong a reaction as some.

The reason is because I am not surprised.

Sanders upset his voting-supporters because he pushed the usual corporate Democratic Party Establishment narrative—that Republican incumbent U.S. president Donald Trump is the most dangerous U.S. president ever (or whatever the exact words; and that has to, presumptuously, be the No. 1 general-election motivator for voters)—and Sanders went so far as to take preventive action to scold his primaries voters who will not fall in line in the general election.

One may question what, if anything, is gained by this.

One may also question if Sanders was threatened.

One may as well question whether this is an effort to sheepdog actual progressives—and Bernie Sanders’s primaries voters—into the Democratic Party, in general, for the 2020 United States presidential election (come November 3, 2020).

I have reached the conclusion that, more than anything, Bernie Sanders is propping up a corrupt, corporate, Democratic Party Establishment—for however many reasons specifically explain his actions (the primaries candidates did sign on for promising to endorse the eventual nominee)—and the overall decision, come Election Day, is up to his primaries voters along with the rest of the participating electorate.

Fall in line?

Or…

Fall out?

In the following video is an another perceptive take by The Political Vigilante’s Graham Elwood.

The below video is MCSC Network’s Niko House covering Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins. Hawkins is considered the frontrunner for that party’s 2020 presidential nomination. (In 2016, I voted in the general election for Green Party nominee Jill Stein. I should have done so as well in 2012. But, I didn’t totally fail. And I won’t fail here.) And, if he succeeds, Hawkins and his party will not receive any of my votes in the general election. House does really well with explaining why Hawkins is unacceptable. (Jimmy Dore has, perhaps a couple times, also mentioned on his program that Hawkins should be rejected.) But, the following video’s clips really capture why a presidential nomination—for what is supposed to be the left-wing Green Party—would be obscene should it go specifically to Howie Hawkins.
