That wasn’t her “getting grifted”. She’s an establishment shill.
Bernie tried to convince her to run in 2016 instead of him, because he wanted a “real progressive” to run again at Hillary. She refused, so he ran instead.
Then in 2020, she ran against him in order to split the progressive vote in primary, and hired Clinton advisors in order to do it. Her main campaign strategy was to paint him as a misogynist, and to offer an “alternative” to Medicare for All that primarily benefitted the private insurance industry. And when everyone else dropped out of the race, in order to back Biden…she stayed in, just to make sure Bernie lost votes.
She is a fucking traitor. Mistakes are “once in a while” decisions that don’t go the way you intended them to. But when every decision ultimately benefits the establishment old guard…it’s not a mistake. It’s an agenda.

She was 72 years old at the time, she wasn’t the same person she was the majority of her career, which is why people want her to retire.
Like, I’m not defending her, I’m pointing out how dangerous it is letting people stay in office this long. Because even if they start out good, by the time they have the seniority they’re not what they used to be.
Her hands were on the stick when this plane was going down. And she was aiming straight at him. This is not an age thing. She took an end-run nose dive, on behalf the establishment. Willingly.

Except that she personally asserted this narrative. Not someone else. This wasn’t something some surrogate said, without her knowledge.
