Bernie is a liberal zionist and a shill for the gipity. This man👏 is 👏 a 👏 turd. Yo yo yo unemployment nearing 25% in U.S. enough with the toxic positive optimism and libturd apologetics.
Why are you communicating like a 15 year old?
Bernie is a liberal zionist
Where on Earth did you get this notion? Bernie clearly states on a fairly regular basis that he does not support the current Israeli government and that he is not a zionist.
that he is not a zionist.
Please show a single time Sanders has claimed not to be a Zionist. His position has consistently been that Netanyahu is an outlier who is sullying the otherwise noble nation of Israel, aka the liberal Zionist position.
Ah it seems you’re right. While he has harshly criticized the Likud and the IDF he has said in the past that he believes Israel should exist as a Jewish state.
I’d love to see him answer Finkelstein’s best question(IMO), “How can you have a Jewish state that is not a Jewish Supremacy state?”
Didn’t stop this com and their Bernie Sanders personality cult from overwhelmingly upvoting your factually incorrect statement.
And go answer your remark about Finkelstein’s statement: Sanders would do what all liberal Zionists do, play word games to get around the problem and gesture to the hypothetical idea of future Palestinian state you justify continuing to support apartheid colonialism.
American “leftists” are such a fucking joke. You accurately point out how problematic one of their heroes is and they immediately throw a hissy fit.
As long as those heroes don’t harm any Americans that is.
If you fail a purity test you’re a lib.
The purity test of not supporting genocidal apartheid states
Sanders’ team realized they could harness the energy bubbling up around the country following Trump’s return to power and launched the “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, a series of arena-scale rallies that drew crowds as large as 35,000. Internal numbers from the Sanders team showed 40 to 50 percent of attendees weren’t Democrats at all — roughly 30 percent were independents and 10 percent were Republicans.
That tour also doubled as a talent pipeline. Sanders’ team worked each stop to feature working-class speakers, people they would like to see represent the future of the movement — and several of them went on to become candidates themselves.
I remember lemmy’s centrists dismissing the Fighting Oligarchy Tour as pointless since the election was already over. I also remember speculating at the time that what Sanders was doing was building a movement.
Folks were pretty demoralized after the election, and we were still dealing with the shock value of the admins full on blast of constant evil, so I’m not surprised folks were claiming there was no point to anything.
.That being said, there’s a lot of folks round here who seem to hate on Bernie at any opportunity
Sanders being the left-wing mirror world reflection of Goldwater, with someone like AOC being the future anti-Reagan, is quite a hopeful vision. Since I feed on optimism, I can get behind that.
It’s still a long shot, but I always think what if? What if 2028 will mark the end of the era of socialism for the rich, and capitalism for the poor?
Before anyone interjects
The anti-Reagan doesn’t have to be AOC necessarily, it could be El-Sayed or even Hasan Piker for all I care. But Sanders’ Fight Oligarchy tour with AOC is something akin to a preparation for him to pass the torch.
I’m all for Bernie Saunders … I like the guy and appreciate him and his message … but if American progressives are relying on an 85 year old figurehead to lead their movement … holy hell, America is deeper in the hole than I imagined.
He has a track record of lifting new talent up and getting them elected. I don’t think he cares too much for self promoting at this point. He’s smart enough to see the risk and also who the hell would want that job at 85 anyway…
What the Democrats did to Bernie in 2016 and 2020 is why I will never vote for another centrist as long as I live.
Let the DSA’s burn the shit hole down.
Voting for a centrist is better than letting the Republicans destroy your Republic.
No, a willingness to do it is what gives them the confidence to keep doing it. Keep up the Bernie or bust mentality until they bust.
Voting for a centrist is voting for someone who will happily assist republicans as long as they get to also assist netanyahu.
Is it? If you are starving under a NeoLib government or starving under a Fascist government, you’re still starving. What does it matter if the “centrist” is destroying their republic slightly less slowly than the republican?
pretty sure bernie votes for what this guy thinks is a centerist.
Bernie is a smart guy and has urged his dumbass supporters to vote Democrat even if they aren’t as left as him because the alternative is a fascist nightmare that will tear the country down and try to take the rest of the world with it.
Your daily reminder that BlueMAGA liberals don’t consider Palestinians human
Yeah, nothing more important than maintaining the empire right? A bit of genocide is just a necessary part of being a “centrist”
The empire is falling, the question is whether it should be a controlled demolition
And who is offering a controlled demolition? Certainly not the genocidal “centrists”
