    Enthusiasm? Yes. Guts? Highly debatable. Bernie seems pathologically incapable of picking fights with the liberal establishment, which is necessary to get anything done.

      By himself? I think he is being realistic we only have two parties in the US he has to join one and the democrats are the only ones closer to his ideals.

      huh? the man repeatedly explicitly says “the current democrat establishment is actively hindering the progress we want to see and needs to go away”, what more do you want him to say? Should he be telling his supporters to get sniper rifles?

        Too little too late. “The current democrat establishment is actively hindering the progress we want to see and needs to go away” should have come in 2016, 2020 or even 2024. Hell, he’ll flip back to his old script come the midterms, but either way what he (and everyone else) should be doing now is call for civil disobedience, worker organization and resistance in the streets. The focus on electoral politics and flipping red states this late in the game when democracy is so obviously dead is the exact opposite of guts.
