      What turned me to the left wasn’t Bernie per se, but how the DNC was exposed to be cheating in Hil’s favor and how the Wikileaks report that exposed it was buried by the media.

      There was a clear party interest in opposing leftward movement, and a clear media collusion in that.

      This greatly disillusioned me

      He was at least an amerikkka politician I had some respect for. I’d already lost all respect for him because of his groveling for Biden and finding out that he voted in favor of bombing Serbia, but his neocon and Israel lover arc has made me give me strength to comrade heart attack.

              even in this statement

              But I believe that these new sanctions could endanger the very important nuclear agreement that was signed between the United States, its partners and Iran in 2015. That is not a risk worth taking, particularly at a time of heightened tension between Iran and Saudi Arabia and its allies.

              I’m not finding any evidence that Sanders has ever voted for a sanction in a final bill. It kind of doesn’t matter anyway, because the president just unilaterally imposes sanctions, it seems.

    Democrats are getting desperate. Even the most casual DSA leftists have stopped trusting every word out of Bernie’s mouth for at least a year now.

    Does he even use the word “genocide”? As soon as he used the worn down harm reduction argument, I tuned out.

      Did he actually say harm reduction?? That would be amazing, like he is admitting that they are doing harm and won’t stop.

      Like their campaign promise officially is “we aren’t as harmful”.

      Bernie has never acnowledged the term genocide wrt to the current situation. He knows it would lead to serious charges against just about every member of the Senate and Congress and he doesn’t want to be “that guy” that gave the incriminating soundbite.

        Serious charges? In what world? Every member of Senate, and every member of Congress could sign a letter explicitly saying they love genocide and establishing a minimum quota of children killed per week and there would be no charges. Who is going to charge them? The ICC (lol)?
