if it isn't obvious - and it should be - i'll state clearly that i don't work for bernie sanders, i don't speak on his behalf and i am not a surrogate of his. i am not only not a member of the democratic party, but would consider myself a staunch opponent of it. i am an independent and anarchist-identifying political analyst in a different country. and, while i would like to see bernie win, the legitimacy and independence of my blog is my primary concern, not his campaign.

and, i don't care if i offend his opponents, or even his followers, for that matter. you can expect harsh and brutal - but honest - language from this space.

what i will say is that if the democrats don't want to be attacked for running morally corrupt, corporatist candidates then they should defeat them at the ballot box; if they are going to run these kinds of candidates, they should expect them to receive the kind of criticism that they deserve to receive.

so, if kamala harris is going to push for morally depraved policies then i'm going to call her a morally depraved candidate, and tell her to alter her policies if she doesn't like the criticism.

and, if that makes you sad then find a box of kleenexes and cry it up - i don't give a fuck.

bernie is actually overstepping his bounds on this point - he has no right to police other people's language and should apologize for it.
