Strange, that, because I was labouring under the illusion that it was the other way round - Bernie had ratted upon his supporters by caving in and offering his support to the embodiment of the very system he'd spent months denouncing.
"Ratted out" is too weak a description I would say, Tooth. "Political" works for me, particularly when one catalogues the true meaning of that word; selfish, lying, greedy, hypocritical... etc etc. I was terrible to see Bernie unload his ethics and morals on live TV just like that. Oh, let me add another word for our political synonym dictionary, charade.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
