    If people want to say “Good on Bernie for telling it like it is” and “Good thing Bernie is there to step up”, I am all for it. But “he’s the only adult in a room full of children” is an active insult to everyone who is trying to make this shitshow work.

    Oh, people who hate Sanders suddenly don’t like it when people are called children?

          My take of his argument is that all of what we see is theater, and that there are actual adults in the background trying to hold everything together, and that labeling all who work in politics as children does nothing but a disservice to a large majority of civil servants

            If people who hate Sanders object so mightily to calling people children, that shouldn’t have been their go-to dismissal of everyone to their left for the past 8 years.
