It breaks my heart that Sanders is the person we needed to turn this shitshow around, and was knifed in the back by his "Compatriots."
A good man, fucked by a shit system.
I remember the cries of 'Is Bernie Sanders "Presidential" enough?' in 2015, and then America electing Trump, and shaking my fucking head.
His own party knifed him in the back, and pushed Clinton.
Of course. It was "her turn".
The DNC has it's values, and the likes of Bernie don't represent them. If AOC ever gets within spitting distance of real power, the whole thing will degenerate into messy infighting, like UK's Labour did when Corbyn got power.
“But he’s so oooooooollllllldddd.”
God job, democrats.
I remember watching this show called the circus back in 2015 and it tracked all the political shiftings which were happening in the lead up to the big race. Needless to say I lost interest once Bernie wasn't selected to run the party, shit country that will never fight for their own best interests.
This is what EVERYBODY doesn't understand. The DNC is NEVER going to select Bernie because he is NOT a Democrat. He is, and always has been, an Independant.
The presidential nomination is the highest award a party can give to a member, and they are going to give it to a loyal member who has supported the party, raised money for them, praised their actions, etc. Bernie has done none of that. He may caucus with the Dems, but he doesn't raise money for them, and he has often been very critical of Democrats.
He's NOT a Democrat, and there was never a time when the Democrats would give him the nomination, no matter how many votes he got in the primary. The last thing the Dems want is for a non-Dem to step up and fix the country, and prove how ineffective they've been in every Democratic administration.
For over 10 years I’ve read that a lot of people want Bernie Sanders as president, yet I’ve never seen him on the news over here on the other side of the globe.
He seems like a guy who cares for the people and plans ahead that other people in charge continue his plans, Democrats and Republicans alike.
that other people in charge continue his plans?? If the people in charge would have executed his plans we would live in a much better world right now.
That's because he is a true socialist, and not a corporate minion.
I've never heard Senator Bernie Sanders advocate for seizing the means of production. I've only followed him since he was mayor of Burlington VT, so what do I know. Please explain how he is a "true" socialist and what you think socialism is.
Not all socialists are communists. Bernie is more a democratic socialist.
Communism=stateless classless moneyless society where workers control the means of production.
Fuck your tankie bullshit.
"I guess Clinton is equally as responsible as Reagan for the calamity we are facing today."
Yeah, goodbye.
Liberals always say shit like this. You love to call yourselves socialists but don't want to disrupt capitalism. The delusion is real. You might as well give trump a throne because fence sitting doesn't help fight fascism.
Calling your bullshit out is not popular, and I don't care. Socialism is when workers control the means of production, and that is it. Social programs are not socialism.
Bernie has never ever called for seizing the means of production. You liberals can call yourself eagles, but the reality is you are turkeys swallowing fascism into existence.
You can have capitalism and democratic socialism at the same time. That's what we have now: Social Security, Medicaid, Head Start, Public Schools, etc. You can even have it lean more heavily towards socialism. It's not an either or situation.
That is correct because democratic socialism is not socialism it is capitalism with social programs.
Socialism is when workers control the means of production and not capitalists.
The means of production are what we use to make things, including land.
Wow, the level of ignorance when it comes to socialism is too darn high.
