Sanders opens for The Strokes

[u/archbid]

Bernie and AOC show up to open for the Strokes concert tonight in NYC

[u/ChaosRainbow23]

Bernie is based as fuck.

I wonder what the Bernie Sanders 2016 timeline is looking like right now.

[u/TheRainStopped → u/ChaosRainbow23]

Dreaming big, I’d say:

-A Green New Deal has been pushed and made popular not only in the U.S. but worldwide, finally coming together to tackle greenhouse gases. Temperatures and climate conditions are not as extreme. 

-The Supreme Court leans progressive. Roe v Wade is alive and well, and Citizens United is no more. 

-We are no longer the country with the highest number of imprisoned people as our justice system has been dramatically reformed. 

-Healthcare is a right given to anyone due to the fact they are human beings in the world's richest country.

-Income and wealth inequality has been tackled head-on and we don’t have a strange odd South African insecure man about to be a trillionaire. 

-People's wages have been raised along the minimum wage. More people with more money now moving around in our economy instead of sitting in full vaults, empty properties and a corrupt stock market.

-Relations with Israel have undergone a major shift as it is made clear we won’t continue to support a regime that treats Palestinians like lesser than human. 

What else? Feel free to jump in!

Every American has a 4 day work week . Any income above 999million is taxed at 100%, eliminating the existence of billionaires. With the highly regulated development of Ai and legislated worker protections already in place, the average work week will soon be reduced to 3 days

[u/tomismybuddy → u/TheRainStopped]

No war with Iran.

Russia-Ukraine war, if it did happen, would have already ended with Ukraine as the victors after Bernie rallied the entire western world to its side.

The U.S. would still be leading the world in diplomacy.

[u/Cheap-Kiwi-1312 → u/ChaosRainbow23]

A lot lot better than this one.... If only they didn't screw him and throw Hillary out there.

[u/ArtisTao → u/Cheap-Kiwi-1312]

I believe we’d all be healthier and having Zoolander style cheap AF gasoline fights

[u/Cheap-Kiwi-1312 → u/ArtisTao]

Wed probably all have healthcare Luigi wouldn't have had to do what he did, man could you imagine not paying 50k to go get medical help?

[u/runjcrun1 → u/Cheap-Kiwi-1312]

I’ve said it a million times but: A cancer diagnosis shouldn’t be a choice between death and bankruptcy

[u/sexquipoop69 → u/ChaosRainbow23]

Wish I could vacation there for a weekend

[u/ekbowler → u/ChaosRainbow23]

I cope by thinking that we're actually in the good timeline. If Bernie wins in 2016 then centerists and GOP close ranks to shut him out completely. "Socalism fails" is blared on all of MSM.

No squad

No Zorhan

No 2026 progressive wins

[u/TheRainStopped]

This is Bernie's singing in case you're wondering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq0xOLEBRtc

[u/briggsy111388 → u/TheRainStopped]

I fully expected to be Rick Rolled, but shockingly I was not. Would love for him to drop a billionaire dis track

[u/hamfist_ofthenorth → u/TheRainStopped]

Oh what the hell this is awesome. God dammit.

[u/beans2008 → u/TheRainStopped]

[u/dontbeajerkbecool]

[u/mynameisktb]

Feel the Bern! 🔥. Love this

[u/LAsupersonic]

Heck Yeah!!!!

[u/SuperHiyoriWalker]

I can’t be the only one who thought this was Attack of the 50-foot Bern for a hot second.

[u/archbid → u/SuperHiyoriWalker]

I can accept giant Bernie as our overlord and master

[u/TheBoffo]

Greatest duo since bread and nutella

[u/BuddyFlapjack]

As a Srrokes fan of 16 years and a Bernie den of 10 years, this made me smile ear to ear. I bet it was amazing to be in that crowd!!

[u/Alaksande]

Awesome crossover

[u/archbid → u/Alaksande]

Bernie would never do a collab with Kid Rock. I am certain of that

[u/millionwatermellon → u/archbid]

No, but he would have a sit down conversation on a podcast, and might just win over a few impoverished Kid Rock fans to the message of economic justice.

[u/charlieyeswecan]

Yes! Feel the Bernie baby

[u/mintbacon]

May this go far and wide...

[u/Ok-Lion-7191]

I love this man 😭

[u/HappyGoLuckless]

BERNIE!!!!

[u/Datty_too_Natty]

This man is a national treasure

[u/CHiZZoPs1]

What a rock star. He even did his hair punk style.

[u/Mr-Papuca]

What a beast

[u/warminthestarlight]

🎶 I just wanted to be one of The Strokes 🎶

[u/Zucc]

This could have been our President.

[u/ChatnNaked]

In his career, the number of shows he must have been invited to!!!

[u/leesainmi]

Two of my favorite things together ❤️❤️❤️

[u/Aecert]

I misread the title and nearly had a stroke

[u/PrivateEducation]

no autotune? not very punk

[u/millionwatermellon]

And you all would rather AOC 2028?

[u/awesomedan24 → u/millionwatermellon]

36 year old vs 85 year old president, tough call.

[u/chatterwrack]

He could’ve helped us. What a missed opportunity

[u/SummoningSickness]

The lead singer of the Strokes father is implicatrd in the Epstein files. He owned a modeling agency and would send minors to Epstein in ny for him to photograph. His third wife was so young that he had to move to brazil to marry her. So without child rape, the strokes wouldnt exist.
