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

Never thought I'd go from disappointment and dismissal to outright contempt. What a piece of shit. I donated like $200 to his fucking campaign. I could have spent that on weed.

I volunteered my time. I'm not even American. I feel like such a dupe.

this quote should replace "in god we trust" on the us dollar

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago

Dollars should just be replaced with scraps of paper with this quote scrawled on them

The better timeline where FDR's clique won instead of Truman's and Michael Parenti was the insurgent candidate in the American Social Democrat Party

The timeline where President Wallace didn't drop the bomb and didn't start the cold war.

“Well look, Russia invaded Ukraine and I think if they are allowed to get way with that and the United States does not support Ukraine it will simply embolden Russian imperialism and create a never ending crisis in Europe,” Sanders says.

Bernie was always a lib?

History began in 2022. Nothing happened before that. Russia decided to invade because they’re evil orcs. Also imperialism is when the military does stuff.

This.....this actually made me shed a single tear.

Like i didn't think I had anything left to break, but to see this man's heart break in real time, knowing Bernie made this call. God damn. doomer

flattened-bernie did really die with that heart attack and whatever bastard they put in place is a stool pigeon. dead-dove-3 president-parrot-naked

Also I hope that acab got a wake up call to re-evaluate his life choices in whose side he's working for.

Gonna send this to libs the next time they claim that in America there's free speech and people don't get arrested for criticizing politicians.

My hint that Bernie is a piece of shit actually is when he called freshly accused rapist, current bitter political rival, and childsniffer “my friend Joe Biden” while saying Biden could beat trump

Fuck you bernie, you weak scumbag

It should be noted that the quote on the sign is dated incorrectly. The quote is from February before the war started but the sign has it dated in October. Bernie was making pro-war press releases in October.

photoshop that picture of bernie being arrested with his older face pasted onto the pigs.

I think this is actually my breaking point with Sanders. Like, I know it should have been forever ago but I think I'm actually done with him now. I mean he's not running for president again and I dont live in Vermont so I guess that doesn't materially matter but jesus fucking Christ dude.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

It's a good reminder never to hold an individual up that high and to let your own beliefs and morals be your guide.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Shocking. Feel bad for the young ones just learning that Dems can't be trusted for shit. I thought The Squad's neutering would have done that but there are still a lot of AOC stans out there.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

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.
