:mjlol: Bernie's son has a problem with Joy Reid who has consistently insulted Bernie and these cats wanna make that an issue. I wonder what the neolibs are up to about now...





Its ideological. The Dems don't want to wield public power.

STEVE BANNON IS PLUGGED WITH THE SANDERS CAMP

WHAT THE fukk?! :mindblown:

Steve Bannon Is Hatching His Comeback

You're a leader of an anti-system movement then. You don't see a path of alliance?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. [Time's Up] is something totally different from the populist movement on the left. I've said this from day one, I've made real outreach to people in that movement—one third, at a minimum, one third of Bernie Sanders's movement can absolutely be part of our movement. These people are strong economic nationalists. And they can help us continue to win states like Wisconsin and Michigan and Pennsylvania. I'm trying to make a lot of outreach to those people to make sure that they understand we're in common cause.

But this is something quite different. I don't believe this is nationalistic in its center of gravity, and I'm not so sure it's populist at the end of the day in its center of gravity.

What I know you're not a fan of, are the big tech companies, which you've argued should be regulated as utilities, in some cases.
Big tech is out of control, particularly Google, Facebook, and maybe even Amazon. Maybe the companies don't have to be regulated per se, we have to get into that—maybe like the regional Bell companies were [regulated] with state commissions or whatever—but the data has to be held in public trust. People have to have access to it and build entrepreneurial companies.

It's dangerous, this thing with Facebook [changing its news-feed algorithm]. It just shows you the power of an apparatus to shut down dissent, right? And by the way, I'm saying dissent on the left. I mean, I've had so many guys come in and talk to me about starting a Breitbart on the left. They understand now that they need—and do not have—an anti-establishment platform on the left. It's one of the reasons that these guys say that Bernie Sanders movement could not really engage the Clintons and take on the Wall Street ownership of the Democratic Party.

Who's talked to you about that? Who are the guys?
I can't give the names but it's pretty prominent guys associated with progressive causes. They can see that right now that the left does not have an anti-establishment media platform that literally spends its time going after the Democratic Party.

Bernie didn't, really. I don't want to call [the 2016 Democratic primary] a pillow fight, but it was not Breitbart going after John Boehner or Breitbart going after [Eric] Cantor. I always used to tell the guys withdraw the sword and throw away the scabbard.

You haven't seen that on the left, and the populist movement over there is not going to really get itself sorted out until that's done. I've talked to a couple of the people that are deeply involved in this—and we're much more kindred than not.
