Bernie Sanders on what Trump has done right: "cracking down on fentanyl, making sure our borders are stronger. Look, nobody thinks illegal immigration is appropriate."

The American senator, previously known for his left-wing politics, has supported a bill introduced by Lindsey Graham and other war hawks that calls for moves that would essentially destroy Gaza economically and plunge the population into a deadly famine, all under the guise of “eliminating Hamas”.

idk, I don’t think it’s totally invalid to point out that even social fascists saying the bare minimum of “the government should do some stuff that makes peoples’ lives better” draws huge crowds and unprecedented grassroots level support, and instead of embracing it the Democrat party instead sees it as an existential threat.

That was my interpretation of this tweet, I could be wrong.

He's not wrong, and I agree having bernie for two terms would have been infinitely better than what we got, but I think we know continuing to support the Democratic party is going to lead nowhere. This is giving people false hope and remain passive.
