Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

I mean he is right
NO DISTRACTIONS WHERE ARE THE TRUMP/EPSTEIN FILES‽‽
We don't actually need the files to eject the occupant of the whitehouse from that residence. I mean, We The People are in charge. We just have to decide to do it.

and he's a zionist shill that doesn't really have a position to stand on either. calling him progressive when he's a liberal zionist is absolutely batshit.
Bernie, Jon Stewart and some other Jewish people condemned what's going on in Palestine and does not support killing kids. Can you back your story? Maybe there's something I don't know. Now most normal people of empathy does not support what Hamas did to innocent Jews, same as the zionist are doing to innocent Palestinians and West Bank on a greater scale as an excuse to sieze more land.
Starting on February 21st, 2025, he set off on the "Fighting Olligarchy Tour" with the other pathetic liberal zionist where he stated that Isntreal has a right to exist. He received criticism and yet still removed and silenced Pro-Palestinian protestors from his rallies. His exact statement from the rally:
“Israel, like any other country, has the right to defend itself from terrorism, but it does not have the right to wage all out war against the Palestinian people”
The only terrorists are the settlers occupying that land and for him to allude to Hamas being a terrorist organization is just more proof of his ignorance. An indigenous resistance group is NOT a terrorist when they're trying to liberate themselves from the terrorist settlers that are trying to genocide them.
Not only does he actively defend Isntreal's right to exist but he has also been called out for his voting record. Especially his vote to confirm Marco Rubio. As an indigenous person, that settler is nothing more than another pale face devil that pretends to act like some white savior when in fact the language he uses is actively causing harm to society.
If Israel doesn't have a right to exist what is the alternative in your opinion?
Eradicate its existence and give sovereignty back to the indigenous people of Palestine.

Bernie Sanders bent the knee to the same oligarchs in 2016.
Every day he fails to support the creation of a leftist party he continues to be complicit.

I feel like I was pretty fucking clear.
He has spent too long with the DNC, he's been compromising so long he can't phathom any leftist policies or canidates actually passing, including himself in 2016.
He supports the dying ideology of Neoliberalism out of habit, and it's sad he's the moat famous progressive that is allowed to exist in this country.

It was that or trump lmao.
A bunch of his supporters seem to have wanted Trump then.
Huh, it's almost as if he understands compromise/tactics/political game theory instead of being a hopeless idealogue. Imagine that.

If Bernie didn’t do that it would have been a guarantee that Trump won. The DNC wasn’t going to run anyone else so that was the only thing he could do. I’m not saying I’d do it myself, personally, but I understand the position he found himself in.
As usual, nuance/context is a thing.
. The DNC wasn’t going to run anyone else
The "DNC" doesn't run anyone, they support the Democratic candidate once chosen.
I respect Bernie. It's his right to run. When he's lost, he's always accepted it and endorsed the Democrat. He never claimed he was cheated or that the elections were rigged. He has integrity and understand that gradual improvement is better than straight regression.
Wish I could say the same for a chunk of his supporters though.
