Please let him succeed this time! 🤞🤞🤞
But according to Nancy Pelosi, it's just Chinese propaganda!
With all due respect to her, which is none, Nancy Pelosi needs to go away and never speak to the public about anything again.
Age caps in politics when?
Not age caps, periodic mandatory cognitive function tests.
Bernie is only slightly younger than Pelosi chronologically, but at least a couple decades sharper mentally. Trump is YOUNGER than Bernie but as senile as the day is long at the height of summer.
Though most start to decline at or a few years after 70, some people can stay sharp long after and we need people like Bernie just as much as we don't need people like Pelosi.
This is just the latest example of why I lol so hard when some con whines about Nancy and claims she is some kind of radical leftist.
After I catch my breath, I ask them exactly which policies make her "radical" and be as specific as possible. Not sure I've ever had an answer that involved anything coherent - maybe one of them has complained about her insider trading, but don't seem to realize it's not confined to her or even just Democrats.
I find her exhausting for a lot of reasons, but they just have been told to hate her because she's a women of some prominence who does not have their lips wrapped around the base of tiny d's mushroom and the right wing haaaaaates that.
I'm guessing it's because he's anti-Semitic.
That might have been too subtle, I feel like a number of people are going to miss the joke there.
Though it makes me sad, you are probably right. Wayyyyy too many people levy this kind of thing at Sanders (and Chomsky, lol) as a supposedly serious charge.
I'm completely with you, but I have to point out there are plenty antisemitic people of Jewish ancestry (Steve Pieczenick), and many other people who self hate their backgrounds (my father has said very derogatory things about American black people. He grew up in the islands, but still).
I'll be honest, almost downvoted them.
The USA should not be sending any forms of “aid” to a country that has enough resources and wealth to build and maintain nuclear weapons.
The man who should have elected in 2016 AT THE LATEST.
I'm going to go cry in a corner as Biden gets another country wrapped up in endless war so he can save democracy using... Zionism, guns, and drones.
The man who should have elected in 2016 AT THE LATEST.
...and finishing his second term at roughly the same age as Biden starting his.
Bernie's looking wierdly more normal and sane these days. Less of a crazy Doc Brown vibe.
His messaging is, as always, spot on; that hasn't changed.
Let's organize a write in for Bernie this election
Bernie might not run for reelection at the end of his senate term later this year. I can't blame him for wanting to get away from it all; he will be 83.
I love Bernie, but that's how you hand Trump a win. If you live in a swing state you're unfortunately stuck voting for the lesser of two evils.
I understand where you are coming from, and if you decide to do the 'lesser of two evils approach', I'm not mad at you. It's a much better response than voting for the Dems because you believe they aren't evil.
I'm torn, because I quite obviously do not want any fascist-leaning-anyone to win, but I'm also horrified at the long term impact of a two-evil-party system. I've been paying closer and closer attention every four year cycle and the Manchin-Sinema block was the start of the end for me. The final nail was somewhere between finding out about Pelosi and her finances and the "we have power now, but vote for us next time and we will really do something about women's bodily autonomy".
If I find an independent I agree with I'll vote for them. If not I'll write in Bernie. You may end up on the correct side of history as I stand weeping into a burning creator that was once a hopeful country.
Added context: I'm blue County red state.
And if you don't live in a swing state then your vote doesn't really matter.
Yeah, because it worked such wonders the last time...
Conservatives love a good genocide. They are falling over themselves in delight at the innocent families being slaughtered wholesale and are demanding even more weapons be sent.
Conservatives will aggressively fight any bill that seeks to impede genocide. For that reason, I do not think this ammendment can pass.
Yes and meanwhile most of the so called "liberal" democrats are also actively supporting genocide.
I think last time Sanders tried this, which was only a month ago, he only got like 8 senators to sign on.
Yes. Neoliberals are conservatives.
10, but your point very much stands. Especially since that was just about commissioning an audit of sorts!
Fuck the conservatives, but there isn't exactly much liberal action on this front either.
True.
Fuck yeah!
