Solidarity to CodePink getting the message for diplomacy instead of endless money/arms heaping in the war as always. Can't habeeb Bernie went from resisting with his full body weight between two cops in his youth, to dolling out zip-ties like friendship bracelets. bern-disgust

The Western "left" will never break away from the Dems, not because of lesser evilism, it's that they are deathly afraid that change might destroy their Western privilege.

Sanders was always weak on US Imperialism, ffs I still remember during his first run, when asked about how to handle the Middle East situation, he said he wanted the Saudis to play a bigger role lmao. You can tell who is a good socdem by their position on US/Western Imperialism. Corbyn is the only good notable Western Socdem.

Define never. Define 'break away'. Define "left".
