He is OG. This is him getting arrested at a civil rights demonstration in 1963
Yeah, because he's been sitting on his hands for over the last half a century. GTFO with this no-effort trolling.
There is no "the guy". There never was, there won't be. Groups are what get stuff done at that scale.
No single person takes on anything. The only reason why it seems that way is because the history books generally point to a particular person as being responsible for some big change in society, but people like that are only able to exist because there's hundreds of thousands of people who's names you'll never know put in the work to make it possible for people like Bernie, or MLK, or whomever to be the face those movements.
Wow. You could just Google him... You're clearly ignorant here, which is fine, but now you're casting judgement? This is kind of why we're in this mess in America... People jump to conclusions before being informed.
Bernie is one of the only people in our federal government that I respect at this stage.
He seems to be among the most willing to. You want someone else, let them step forward.
Because he is someone that has kept his values since day zero, and while his peers kept getting richer through ~~kickbacks~~ lobbying, he did what he preached.
You're so confident and cite no references nor even allude to your opinions having anything of substance under them.
Troll.
I'm actually in awe of how textbook FUD this is.
Usually people are able to cloak it to make it more difficult to recognize it for what it is. No attempt made here.
Just being like "HMM I DON'T THINK SO"
May I please say, having read your comments, show some goddamn respect. If I were a little man on frozen tundra seeing this stoking here I’d send some crypto your way ha, I mean come on you know we love him and yeah suggest some alternatives please but come on - calling for introspection
Some people still have faith in democracy, you have no right criticizing them while not getting to action yourself (at least thats what Im assuming based on that I havent heard about you in nationwide news)
Because he recognizes the dangerous situation we're in and articulates a positive vision for the future, and the changes needed to get there.
It took me a long time to find this.... https://berniesanders.com/
Dang. Don't over exert yourself. That looked like a hard find. Remember to stretch, get some water and use proper posture when using the Internet for this long!
I understand he’s currently touring and fundraising.
Thing is, I have yet to hear anything concrete about how to fight back?
Taxing the wealthy, Medicare for all, free public college, and critiquing the oligarchs are all great political buzzwords, but billionaires are currently deporting individuals as well as dismantling the government.
I’m wise enough not to blindly trust politicians. The day he truly fights back, I’ll support him. For now, it looks like sanewashing and virtue signaling.
Did you forget to switch accounts?
Porn account ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ
Discussing Bernie Sanders makes you wanna access your porn account? Interesting.
Interesting fetish. I mean, Bernie does get me excited just not in that way.
Some of us get hard at the thought of UBi. Pls no bully
Look, y'all! It's a two-fer! Block both accounts with barely two clicks. 🤣🖕🏽
Do you have any resources to back up your incendiary BS?
Heheh i see a lot of blocked responses, so the trolls must be out today!
Whoops, missed one!
*poink!*
I also wish to know this.
Go listen to the man speak as well as looking at his voting history going back decades as well as his stance on things. Quite well documented.
Can you pinpoint one meaningful achievement he accomplished during his long career, aside from backtracking on his support for military intervention around the world when it was politically convenient to do so?
Members of Congress don't typically have monumental achievements you can point to. Bernie's primary job is working in committee, meaning he wrangles the other senators into actually getting work done.

And of course he represents his constituents when he votes on bills.
Let me rephrase. What meaningful change or difference was made thanks to his advocacy and work throughout his years as a politician to make him suitable at 83 to become the face of resistance against fascism and hailed as a hero?
Regarding the bills and stances he took on previous US military interventions, it’s hard for me to see how he could be against the current status quo. I recognize he’s a progressive in the US political landscape but is this politicians truly the face that can take on MAGA and the oligarchs? Does he truly have what it takes?
He is the only one in Congress taking these positions, therefore he is being supported.
If you're expecting a single superhero to swoop in and fix all our problems, you're going to be sorely disappointed. Change of achieved in groups. Take responsibility for your own actions. What have you done to take on MAGA and the oligarchs?
Probably endlessly critique Kamala, then didn’t vote against fascism, and then as fascism takes over, critique Bernie.
