If only Democrats had the stones to do this.
You're viewing a single thread.
He could just as well introduce one to raise it to $17000 and a car as bonus.
He knows it has no chance so that's why he does it.
The sheepdog is virtue signaling again pretending to be progressive.Guy has been pretending to be progressive for like 60 years. Thats some dedication.
Or could it be that you have built a system where change isn’t really an option.
I have built nothing as a European.
And their system is indeed rigged and especially the last one with both wings of the uniparty successfully trying to keep 3rd parties of the ballot.
Bernie in his function as sheepdog is allowed and cultivated by that very system since it keeps voters from chosing actual change.
IDK where they get their news from but they keep making the same mistakes.A nice quote from Karl Marx, The Civil War in France:
*Nowhere do “politicians” form a more separate, powerful section of the nation than in North America. There, each of the two great parties which alternately succeed each other in power is itself in turn controlled by people who make a business of politics.
It is well known that the Americans have been striving for 30 years to shake off this yoke, which has become intolerable, and that in spite of all they can do they continue to sink ever deeper in this swamp of corruption.
we find here two great gangs of political speculators, who alternately take possession of the state power and exploit it by the most corrupt means and for the most corrupt ends – and the nation is powerless against these two great cartels of politicians, who are ostensibly its servants, but in reality exploit and plunder it.*
Normally, I would respond to this type of argument by explaining how the two party system is structural. But in this case, you are complaining about one of the only politicians that is not part of a political party.
You fail to see he is a freelance hired help for the dems.
Oof. So what should he be doing instead?
Go away preferably so people are not misled by this zionist faker
Thanks for getting Trump elected. Your pragmatic thinking is super helpful.
I didn't I'm European.
And I am very pleased he's fucking up his own country for once and making it weaker and expediating its inevitable demise.
It's a gift to the world.What country are you from?
Belgium.
Am I getting some whataboutism now?Why do you post so much about US politics while being so ignorant about them?
Are you aware that Bernie Sanders is anti genocide and is one of the only US politicians bringing up legislation against providing Israel with weapons and denouncing the genocide there?
If there would be any US politician I would expect you to support it would be him, but you're just talking uninformed shit. Why?
LOL
As I explained, he only does these things when he's absolutely sure they will fail.
overwhelmingly
He has NEVER denounced the genocide.
He deliberately refuses to call it that and gets angry when asked to do it.
He NEVER called for a ceasefire.
He NEVER misses a chance to say Israel has the right to defend itself tho.
And NEVER uses the word Israel but "the Netanyahoo government" also deliberate.
I can tell you what he did vote for, recognising Jerusalem as the capital of the genociders.Who's ignorant here?
Who are you to say he only does things that he knows will fail? What is your better solution? To never try a single thing and stay silent? Criticize them so every Joe Rogan and Tankie shithead can parrot the same complaints and get yet another fascist elected?
His efforts are leagues beyond what most other American and European politicians have done and he has been consistent.

If any change for the better is going to happen in this world, it's not going to be chasing some perfectionist idealism that will never move beyond forum arguments and Marxist circle-jerks.
In the meantime, I'm going to support people like Bernie, who may be imperfect, but are a hell of a lot better than Trump and fascist authoritarians.
Good luck with your... whatever it is you support. Hard to tell.
