Bernie on the right side of history. As usual.
🌏👨🚀🔫👨🚀🌌 (Always has been)
Imagine if he was selected instead of Hillary.
a far better timeline
Unfortunately most of this country is too stupid to vote for him. All you have to do is call him a “radical socialist” and morons would be falling over themselves to vote for his opponent.
They would have taken him out as soon as he started damaging the bottom line
As always, for like the past 60 years
Schumer did it too. I think it’s important to see the criticism coming from high-ranking Jewish Americans. It’s kinda tough to call them antisemites.
The fact this man didn’t get a shot at the office is proof that our electoral systems and rep/dem duopoly is failing us.
He got a shot; shot down by the DNC and Wasserman Schultz after HRC paid the DNC’s debt. She took him out the only way to defeat an ethical populist in America: with money.

Haha yeah shot down. Every single state needs RCV or something similar, and DEmocrsts need to support candidates that want meaningful change.
It’s early, but I had to make sure I was reading correctly on this one
Yeah. I mean, some crazy set his office on fire
I am once again asking you to support not committing genocide
In before Bernie Sanders joins dissenting voices like Jewish Voice for Peace and Breaking the Silence as condemned by Israel, the USA, Germany, the UK etc. for being the wrong kind of Jew. Some version of misled, self-hating, extremist, unpatriotic etc. Destroying the reputation of dissenters, especially Jewish dissenters, is the only way to keep Netanyahu’s illogical lie that “criticism of his brand of Zionism and resultant Israeli policy is racist against all Jews” alive. The governments involved in Israel’s apartheid and war cimes MUST force that idea on us all - there is no defending the ethics of the situation so their last resort is to repeatedly defame and silence those who protest.
Bernie Sanders video message to Netanyahu: https://youtu.be/vzhdPsCgrjU
I am pretty sure there is not one thing I have ever read about Bernie that I did not agree with and smile at for being a good person.
I volunteered for his campaign in 2016 and am very proud of that. Really respect him even if I don’t agree 100% with everything he says
I suspect that one could actually disagree with something Mr Sanders says, and he’d be happy to debate with you respectably about it in a calm and rational manner.
This seems rare in politics lately.
He was our last, best chance at getting on a better path.
Good for you, Bernie! Go get 'em.
This is Netanyahu’s response to the protests: https://twitter.com/IsraeliPM/status/1783185828291736035 Yeah he pretty much labels everything as antisemitism.
WOOOFTA.
that list just keeps on hitting.
If you watch his YouTube channels, he has 2 official, then you’d know he issues a scathing remark directly against Netanyahu daily for months.
I guess Bernie’s antisemitic now too /s
“Bibi please, you’re making it so hard for me to claim you’re not committing a genocide despite piles of evidence - my support is crumbling!”
So, what did you think you’d accomplish with posting something like that?
Next thing you know, he will send a strongly worded letter.
Fuck off. This is literally the most that’s in his power to do and it’s a hell of a lot more than the president himself is doing.
Bernie can’t stop the weapons shipments. Every time he tries to reel in the genocidal apartheid regime of Netanyahu by supporting or introducing legislation, he’s outvoted and out-influenced by Biden and the rest of the AIPAC toadies.
Using his platform to forcefully explain how detestable Netanyahu’s words and actions are is the most Bernie can do and, again, a hell of a lot more than those with the power to do more are doing.
Actually, the White House came out bashing the protests and calling them antisemitism as well
Source?
I found a single video in which Biden is clearly not calling all protests antisemitic… Is this what you’re referring to?
Of course they did 🤦
He could legislate, that’s his job. Introduce actual legislation to reveal who supports genocide. That would be a good start.
He’s trying to legislate, goddammit. All it takes is typing “Bernie Sanders legislation” in a search engine, and use your goddamn eyes. Here’s what he’s trying to do:
My first amendment would ensure that we are not providing any more offensive military aid to Netanyahu’s war machine while he continues to violate U.S. and international law. This amendment would not touch funding for the Iron Dome or other purely defensive systems, but it would end aid to a war machine which has already killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded 77,000, 70 percent of whom are women and children. And, right now, as we speak, hundreds of thousands of children face starvation as a result of that war machine.
The second amendment that I am offering would remove the prohibition on funding for UNRWA, the backbone of the humanitarian relief operation in Gaza and the only organization that experts say has the capability to provide the humanitarian aid that is desperately needed. Israel has alleged that 12 UNRWA employees out of 30,000 were involved in the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7. […] That is being investigated and it should be. But you don’t allow thousands of children to starve because of the alleged violations and actions of 12 people.
Maybe try actually reading before replying.
He HAS been trying to legislate, but the AIPAC toadies in congress vote him down every time, spurred on by the AIPAC toady in the Oval Office.
You’re basically blaming him for others stopping him from doing his job.
As for revealing who supports genocide, at last vote it was everyone in the Senate except him and 3 others and everyone in the House except the Squad and about a dozen others IIRC.
Also, do you have any links for you last paragraph? I can’t find relevant articles about it.
Wasn’t quite as stark as I remembered it but it was still fucking GRIM at 72 to 11 when he tried to make military aid contingent on what it’s being used for.
Can’t seem to find the House bill I was thinking of
Ok then. Where in this article does it say that he even tried to legislate?
Nowhere, but that’s irrelevant. We know from other articles, TV News segments, C-SPAN, and the Congressional record that he’s been trying to legislate this whole time.
Reality and the documentation thereof doesn’t begin and end within one article from a mediocre British outlet.
A simple search on multiple search engines about Bernie’s history trying to legislate in the face of AIPAC would prove you’re wrong.
What do you want him to do? Pick up a gun, fly over to Israel, make his way to Netanyahu’s office and shoot him in the face?
I mean, I wouldn’t complain…
He could legislate, that’s his job. Introduce actual legislation to reveal who supports genocide. That would be a good start.
That legislation would go absolutely nowhere. It wouldn’t even be put up for a vote. What would be the point?
Better not do anything then. Just strongly spoken words or strongly worded letters… That will probably get things done.
How will your legislation idea get things done?
How will you idea of not doing anything get anything done? Virtue signaling does nothing.
Please answer the question: How will your legislation idea get things done?
