People like Abshir Omar seem like unprincipled clowns if they can so effortlessly go from Bernie to MAGA like that.It seems that Sanders can't help but attract these types of people who would go on to be grifters. Look at Briahna Joy Gray and Tulsi Gabbard for instance.
from what i see, not even dems like bernieThey dont like anyone who opposes neoliberalism.
He is a populist
They dont like anyone who opposes neoliberalism.
bernie is genuine in his beliefs and does want the DNC to do better
the problem is he is very out of touch with modern times
so he its easy for grifters to slip into his campain
and its easy for him to say things that the right wing media can spin in their favor
all this makes it easy for the SMALL LESS THAN 1% of his supporters to be conned into just not voting
and unfortunately that less than 1% effected things in 2016
and again THIS IS A TINY FRACTION OF HIS SUPPORTERS AND ITS NOT HIS FAULT BUT THE MEDIA TWISTING THINGS
Define neoliberalism because it sure as fuck doesn't match almost every Democrat in office except maybe Manchin and Sinema
It's a fact that Russia and the GOP co-opted Bernie to divide the left against itself in 2016. The same set of grifters who helped out with this helped depress Democratic votes for Kamala.Very true, and the same people who fell for it refuse to admit they got hoodwinked.
Because he's an anti-establishment candidate, which Trump is viewed as.More to the point, Bernie Sanders isn't really a Democrat. He's in the Democratic Party for their money.
More to the point, Bernie Sanders isn't really a Democrat. He's in the Democratic Party for their money.He also plays along with Democrats just enough to keep his Senate seat safe from organized D opposition.
More to the point, Bernie Sanders isn't really a Democrat. He's in the Democratic Party for their money.
or he's in the democrat party because there's no real alternative?
Very true, and the same people who fell for it refuse to admit they got hoodwinked.Bernie is a Russian accent

Sanders repeatedly runs in the Democratic Vemront primary and then declines the nom
This was literally reported on nationaly. https://tinyurl.com/465wn7dkWashington Compost
Nobody said "Bernie is a Russian asset," but Russian disinformation absolutely used his campaign as a wedge
you mean for presidential elections?
running in the primary does no harm as long as he's genuine. Having more primary candidates would actually be good, because it would allow different points of view to get more attention. It's not like the republicans like RFK Jr who ran as Dems and then suddenly became republicans as soon as they realized they'd benefit by endorsing Trump

Owned by Bezos - one of the people that hates Bernie the most
Sanders told reporters Friday after The Posts report was published that he received the briefing about a month ago. Asked why he did not disclose the briefing publicly, Sanders replied, Because I go to many intelligence briefings which I dont reveal to the public.

Russia used literally every campaign as a way to spread disinformation. That's how propaganda wars work. They don't only argue for one camp, they argue for everyone to create chaos.
When Sanders first found out, he didn't do anything about it. A whistleblower in the campaign was the one to contact and warn the Clinton campaign
yeah, and the Clinton campaign pointed out that Russia was influencing the election.
how well did that work out?
I liked him and his policies when he was going up against Clinton and Trump. But these days I just consider him a spineless pussy who needs to shut up. He just grandstands with nothing to show for it.lol

This is pathetic. Sanders even admitted it himself:Looks like he's not bothering to respond.
It's because Bernie is evil and bad!
Or it might be systematic fuck ups by the Democrats which managed to turn a Somalian refugee (who volunteered for Obama in '08) against them.
But it's probably because Bernie is actually a Russian asset!
He said Somali American social, cultural and religious values align with the GOP, but most of them voted for Democrats out of concern that the GOP was rooted in racism and more hawkish on war. Now, he said, Republicans are doing more outreach and many in his community disagree with Democrats on foreign policy. The Democrats are going to come in for a rude awakening, he said.
Or maybe he's just arrogant and bitter? Nobody thinks he's "evil," but his behavior can suck sometimes. That's human.He should just fall in line, because that's been working out great for the party. Or maybe it's his behavior that's the sole reason why the party is floundering, which is an argument you can make if you want.
And oh hey, I looked up Abshir Omar and he was mad that a drone strike killed his brother under Obama. His brother was a member of al-Shabaab, so forgive me if I don't quite see this as an arch-sin.I saw the part about the drone strike from the Star Tribune, not seeing the part about al-Shabaab.
But hey, here's a quote on Omar:He seemed pretty jazzed about Bernie, who does not agree with the GOP on those things. But I get what you're getting at, Democrats may as well try jettisoning all Muslim support.
In other words, the guy agrees with the GOP about abortion, LGBT people and women. Explain to me how we fix that.
He should just fall in line, because that's been working out great for the party. Or maybe it's his behavior that's the sole reason why the party is floundering, which is an argument you can make if you want.You can simply not strawman. Maybe he can stop being hypocritical, like avowing himself of all party resources when it benefits him while acting like he's a perpetual underdog despite having had massive influence for years now. Every single time he's given a position or support, he immediately uses it to trash his colleagues.
Yeah, did some digging there.
I saw the part about the drone strike from the Star Tribune, not seeing the part about al-Shabaab unless that's from a different piece.
He seemed pretty jazzed about Bernie, who does not agree with the GOP on those things. But I get what you're getting at, Democrats may as well try continuing to jettison all Muslim support to appease anti-immigration attitude.
