Here's Bernie not saying the word "genocide"

I strongly disagree with Mr. Biden on the question of U.S. support for Israel’s horrific war against the Palestinian people. The United States should not provide Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing extremist government with another nickel as it continues to create one of the worst humanitarian disasters in modern history.

. . .

Supporters of Mr. Biden can speak proudly about a good and decent Democratic president

who is committing genocide

with a record of real accomplishment.

. . . of committing genocide

. . .

We battled to defend women’s rights in the face of moves by Trump-appointed jurists to roll back reproductive freedom and deny women the right to control their own bodies.

Battled and lost, and in such a way as to make the "battle" part seem implausible

. . .

So, yes, Mr. Biden has a record to run on.

of committing genocide

. . .

This election offers a stark choice on issue after issue.

except on genocide, where the candidates are united

If Mr. Biden and his supporters focus on these issues — and refuse to be divided and distracted — the president will rally working families to his side in the industrial Midwest swing states and elsewhere and win the November election. And let me say this as emphatically as I can: For the sake of our kids and future generations, he must win.

But not for Palestinian kids and future generations. Fuck them, I guess.

hesitation-2 thank you Bernie for crushing the last bit of lib electoralism in my brain over the last few years. Between how he was treated in 2016 and his behavior since every last bit of hope that we could make even a little change by voting has been crushed. Social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism, and they will murder Rosa every time.

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

I maxed out.....twice. bawllin-sad I thought I could help course correct history!

[-] flan@hexbear.net 33 points 1 month ago

Bernie is a little piggie for humiliation isn't he.

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Even so, just hire some dominatrix, name her "Joe Biden", let her publicly humiliate him, and that's it...

It'd be less embarrassing than this shit...

Edit: can someone actually draw something like that, Stan Kelly or Ben Garrison style, lmao...

[-] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

Biden's Chris Christie

[-] chauncey@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago

Bernie, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush, they're all steadfastly supporting Biden, when now would be the easiest time for someone to publicly say that they think he should step down.

So, am I missing something? As in, have they all made a calculation that Biden is less bad compared to a Kamala Harris / Gavin Newsom etc?

Or am I over thinking it? I was mulling this over last night.

[-] BynarsAreOk@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago

Political strategy made by babies for other babies. They simply think its best to not leave any room for the dems to blame the "left". Its a win-win. if Biden remains they'll earn some cheap pol capital by keeping their record as good faithful little babies and if he drops out they wont be blamed for it.

This is of course best case scenario and giving them the benefit of doubt. It may just be they're all mostly coward fucks dropping the mask, in Bernie's case I doubt he needs much incentive or strategizing to side with his "friend" Joe.

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I feel like this is more about self preservation. AOC in particular has gradually been shifting to more 'acceptable' positions over the years, and I feel like if you're not willing to actually make a stand here, about a genocidal loon that is getting lampooned by the press from all sides, you're never going to do so.

Sad part is Hillarys lost already showed they can do everything to help them win but will still get thrown under the bus the 2nd they lose.

[-] FungiDebord@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

That must be it. And/or that Biden could owe the loyal progressives something, where as they'd be totally lost with another candidate. And/or that they avoid associating themselves/their policy commitments with this shit show.

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

AoCIA introduced articles of impeachment on justice Thomas and Alito. They think they can scream about the non possibility of replacing 2 supreme court justices before November in a Republican house. Cover up the genocide. Gaslight the public. Score shitlib points by not holding their own party accountable.

[-] duderium@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago

So happy to see Bernie to the right of the fucking dorks on MSNBC calling for Biden to quit.

[-] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

God, even the most hardcore libs I know are on the "Biden must go" train now.

Bernie is such a fucking weenie he would've rolled over on every single issue if he ever had gotten the presidency.

[-] Teapot@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago

This is an accelerationist move by Bernie, he is hastening the implosion of the Democrat party

[-] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago

Lol imagine thinking this guy has any political capital

[-] Moss@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago

Isn't he an independent? He's not running for president again, he doesn't need the approval of the democrats. What's even the point in towing the line? What a cowardly sack of shit

[-] wombat@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism

[-] elpaso@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

Bernie has to have a humiliation kink.

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

He's going to reveal his true power level any day now

[-] goose@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

This is somehow both completely unsurprising and utterly depressing

[-] Dimmer06@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

After 2016 and 2020 Sanders was probably the only person in the last 100 years that could have built an independent working class party/movement around himself that might have had the power to fracture capital's stranglehold on the electoral system. To throw that away to openly support Biden at this moment is beyond pathetic.

[-] BigBoyKarlLiebknecht@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

This is how Bernie can still win

[-] AvocadoVapelung@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago
[-] micnd90@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

sexist Bernie "bro" Sanders backed his white old friend Joe instead of supporting strong women leaders like Kamala or Hillary

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

Ah good to see Bernie sticking with his good friend Genocide Joe Brandon. May they both be in the plane that does 9/11 2.

[-] bigboopballs@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

I will do all that I can to see that President Biden is re-elected. Why? Despite my disagreements with him on particular issues, he has been the most effective president in the modern history of our country and is the strongest candidate to defeat Donald Trump

I consider this the final proof that Bernie isn't a serious person.
