Bernie is a true believer and the closest thing to a politician I trust. How he’s been treated by the establishment is a great illustration of how corrupt our entire system has become, and his patience in continuing to navigate it without giving up or selling out is… Really something.
no, nothing has paid off yet, it’s the first time the first step has been taken. we still need to bring the dnc to heel
I mostly love a bernie but I’ll believe “paid off” when they actually get some real systemic changes completed. Flipping seats should be the means, not the goal.
The best I ever felt voting was when I voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic primary.
Oh my god. My local junior high was electric with energy. Fuck the DNC forever.
So many neo-liberal apologists out there for what the DNC did. I asked one why they did it anyway if “progressives” don’t show up to vote. They got angry, MAGA CHUD angry.
bernie would have been great, I’d have loved to vote for hin.
It felt good voting for him in the 2016 primaries at least.
There were dozens of us!
I mean… he won but got fucked out of it. That’s what the “Hilary’s emails” stuff was all about, clear collusion between her and the DNC to subvert their own processes. It’s interesting and important history if you’re looking for a rabbithole today
What exactly happened with that? I know he won the first couple states like Iowa and NH but then the superdelagates didn’t choose him or something? But by that point I thought he was already losing in the next batch of state elections (because he was too “radical” while Hilary was the “safe” choice).
Yeah, superdelegates negotiating a deal vs directly representing their constituencies was the core of it. Apparently she’d made prior concessions in exchange for it being “her turn” that time and the nomination was essentially decided before voting began. When things weren’t working out that way the superdelegates were told how to vote and did, the arguments where she insisted on that were a highlight of the email leaks. It was a long time ago and I’m probably not the one to ask, tf even is a “superdelegate”? Sounds made up.
Not too late.
age 85
Not too late.
No more octogenarians in office. Any office. Please.
It’s not the end. The real battle is only begining.
His message is simple, and the Democrats should adopt it: how can we have a trillionaire, but lack the funds to provide universal health coverage?
Bernie is one of the better democrat leaders. I wish the 2016 election had been between Bernie and Carson instead of Bernie and Trump.
You mean instead of between Hilary and Trump right?
Here I had completely forgotten about shrillary and now I’m miserable again.
Legend. What a real one.
Bernie, you magnificent son of a removed. Played the long game and won.
Love that dude
his publicist is so old school with these posts (here and on reddit), i half expect to to see them in a street corner shouting “hear ye, hear ye”.
fucking pathetic.
Are you implying I’m his publicist? I wish!
Candidates won because people accepted them, and voted for them.
it has nothing to do with this c-word.
Only cunt here is you buddy
lol
fk me, lemmings aren’t that much better than redditors 🙈
You can say cum on the Internet dude
What did he win, Hakeem Jeffries for speaker? Give me a break.
Bernie been fighting so hard, I hope he can retire soon and allow the mantle to go to someone decent that can do what been doing for 60 years.
Ro Khanna is staying righteous.
Hopefully 100+ new people trying to join congress in 2028
The only way Bernie retires is if we get off our asses and make his policies law. Otherwise he will be wagging his finger at social injustice from his death bed.
Let’s do it for Bernie!
Same. I hope he’s got a group of people primed to take over so he can retire.
i think it’s fairly obvious that he is positioning AOC for this. i can live with that!
I meant more for someone to take over his senate seat. Want to make sure it doesn’t go to an R. But yes loving AOC being part of the Bernie legacy.
We don’t deserve him. The way the DNC treated him was abhorrent.
If more people voted for him in primaries, he would’ve move DNC to the left. This is a reminder to vote in primaries.
Yes, fortunately he is actually in it for the people. He doesn’t seem to hold a grudge.
It’s not about what we do or don’t deserve.
If people needed to deserve good governance before they could have it, the world would be a fascist hellhole forever.
This is about what’s right or wrong. Good governance is what’s right, and Bernie knows that, and that’s why he fights for it whether we deserve it or not.
Maybe ask him? You know after he caucused with the Dems and achieved policy victories?
Does Bernie’s own actions count or is it just your feelings?
Right! That’s why he immediately caucused with Dems and the dnc after that election. Right?
Truth is, Bernie is all in with the DNC. Yet you post what?
Bernie knows more than you and his actions prove how little you know. He works with others rather than demonizing groups. Thats the long game. Not talking shit.
