Truest statement of the week

There are a couple of striking elements to the alleged Kerry call. First, is the utter cluelessness. Kerry was a perfectly horrible presidential candidate who could not seem to make a decision or maintain a single coherent position even as this fault was being ridiculed in the media. Yet, he reportedly considered running this year despite the continued resistance to the establishment and his embodiment of everything that young voters despise in the Democratic party. Second, it is a curious call given the fact that Kerry is campaigning for Biden. It would suggest that Kerry not only thinks Sanders has a real chance but that Biden is damaged goods. At a minimum, it rising the panic from Democratic source, like Kerry’s friend, about the need for drastic action to stop the rising support of Sanders.
Finally, and most telling, is how Kerry allegedly linked any campaign to investors like Hickey funding him. It is precisely what Sanders supporters have been denouncing in how figures like Clinton and Kerry were cutouts for Wall Street. This view was reaffirmed by Hillary Clinton’s successful refusal to allow her speeches to Wall Street investors to be released.
