Publisher’s Note: Self-described “LA jag off night club comedian” Jimmy Dore has provided perhaps the most brutally honest ongoing coverage of the rise and fall of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders presidential campaigns. Watching him school “Useful Idiots” Matt Taibbi and Katie Helper feels strangely cleansing. And, as desert, check out #FeelTheBern post-mortem with former 2016 Sanders campaign staffer Nick Brana and 2020 volunteers and campaign directors . We’ve covered this ground here at Vermont Independent over the past four years, but hearing Bernie staffers and volunteers break down the insider corruption, and the schism between Jeff Weaver, Jane and Bernie, and other members of the Our Revolution staff who pushed to keep the campaign transparent, grassroots, and accountable to ordinary citizens is informative. Thanks to JDS and their guests for breaking the “vow of silence” around the “legend” of Bernie Sanders. Free Vermont, and long live the Untied States.
