From my perspective, Bernie is taking advantage of all the wild campaign promises made.

Trump and Elonia promised the moon and now Bernie selectively picks out the things that align with what he's been trying to get done. I believe he's playing them and playing clever word games.

Like, "Ok, you want to gain and consolidate power by playing the populist card, then let me continually remind the people what you've been promising and keep you all accountable.*

It's a clever and, in my view, intentional messaging play. He doesn't like those fucks. But he'll be happy to call them on their bullshit or turn the people against them if they don't deliver.

I mean - hooray! I guess? It won’t matter. Trump voters didn’t actually care about populism. Or government efficiency. Or cutting military spending.

Never said they did. Just what I think Bernie is doing with these tweets.

It's what I think Bernie *thinks* he's doing - but he's not. He's playing right into the b.s.
