In reply to the discussion: Krugman: Sanders campaign needs to stop feeding the right-wing disinformation machine [View all]Armstead
(47,803 posts)Professor Krugman has every right to prefer and endorse Clinton if he wants to.
But his conservative attacks on sanders and his supporters is deserving of critical response.
I say conservative because he is among those who are batting down an attempt to bring truly liberal reform on issues of the economy and concentration of power. He his condescension reflects the same "let's not ever rock the boat" tone of the entrenched elites and their attacks on ponies and rainbows. He has become very disappointing in his shallowness.
And it's now "Okay Bernie. Now it's time for you and your cute little supporters to come inside and eat your broccoli" as if there is no primary left.
Naw Sanders and "the kids" and his many older followers are going to keep pointing out what's wrong, instead of prematurely "falling in line" and blindly endorsing things we disagree with.
