The whole outrage act is old. He makes some good points, but they are lost in his over the top outrage. Seems like a smart guy, but this schtick isn't converting anyone. If this is what it takes to get through to Bernie Bros, I can see why they are the way they are.

Entertaining that you guys will fall all over to fellate Bush-era conservatives that orchestrated a war to send thousands of civilians and Americans to their deaths, but tut-tut a Bernie supporter begrudgingly pushing a vote for Biden.

Hmmmm, this is an interesting comment. I think it boils down to framing. Yeah, the Lincoln Project are a bunch of ######bags who are eating their own, but their messaging is just absolutely fantastic. That is the only thing that impresses me about them. Their craft is so good and their shorts are so compelling that you have to give them credit for their work. Do I buy what they are selling? Hell no. But if they help defeat Trump I'll let them do their thing. They are swaying lots of people with their messages, so that is a good thing.
Bernie Bros are just a little too crazy for my liking. I don't know what it is. Whether it's the intentional ignorance of the system, of their pie in the sky optimism/expectation for a 180 turn in how Americans perceives the country and themselves, it is just too much. This is a country that runs in the other direction from the hint of socialism, unaware they fully embrace it in so many ways. Maybe its just the fact that this group can't get their heads around changing their messaging to show just how socialist the US is? If they could get together with the Lincoln Project guys and get them to produce some spots showing just how socialist the United States is, maybe they could gain some traction. Until they develop a better messaging campaign they are considered the fringe. That is what needs to change, because you can't win anything being on the fringe side of the left.
