  9. While I agree that we need to question and challenge those in charge I think that people wildly overblow the importance of endorsements. The guy is running around growing support for incredibly important progressive issues and causes. That really should be enough. I think the world would be a better place if endorsements weren't a thing. People shouldn't need to be told by Bernie or anyone else who we should and shouldn't be voting for. People should be figuring that shit out by themselves otherwise they may as well just be sheep. Sanders also has a right to go on or avoid whatever platforms he wants. If you want to think him not going on Jimmy's show is something he should be punished for so be it. I vehemently disagree and think I've already given you a good reason why not going on his show is the only logical choice. He is still a politician operating in a political environment and that means making political calculations. Going on Jimmy's show would be giving the corporate media a weapon they would happily use against him when he absolutely needs to make smarter decisions then that if he is going to overcome the rigged game in 2020. It would be the political equivalent of an unforced error in tennis. There would be little to gain but it would cost him dearly. He already is talking about the things he wants to talk about. Things like medicare for all and raising the minimum wage (to amazon). He shouldn't need to go on Jimmy's show to explain all the obvious reasons starting a 3rd party is a dumb idea and why he is choosing to instead try hostile takeover of the "democratic" party.
