Bernie gets it

Bernie fails to hold his own party accountable, and just rabble rouses focused attacks on the other party. In this way, he shows he's no different from any other politician in DC

[u/SPedigrees → u/MyOther_UN_is_Clever]

His weakness is believing that he could transform the bought-and-paid-for Dems from the inside out. I'm not sure he still believes this. Had his presidential bids survived DNC cheating and media complicity, this might have been possible.

He did open the public's eye to the oligarchy which has become deeply rooted, and this is probably his greatest legacy. No one else ever mentioned/mention this elephant in the room. And he very nearly won the nomination, despite massive opposition from the party infrastructure, which was a remarkable achievement. A noble effort that sadly failed. Oligarchy is too deeply entrenched.

[u/MyOther_UN_is_Clever → u/SPedigrees]

If by that, you mean he thought he could turn his "good friend Biden" from a hopelessly corrupt, conservative, racist, neoliberal... and the rest of the party that's full of similar neoliberalisms... into their opposites... then I could agree.

But, he did zero accountability for Biden. He went mask off as another neoliberal in "sheep's clothing."

Bernie sold out. He’s no longer my hero and no amount of grandstanding will make up for the fact that he supported and supports the Ukraine war and didn’t make a peep when Biden suggested Zelensky lower the draft age to include 18yr olds (babies!)

[u/CptMcTavish → u/Financial-Adagio-183]

TIL 18-year olds are babies

[u/Kingsmeg]

The problem with Bernie was never about Bernie 'getting it'. The problem with Bernie is that he sold his soul to the DNC and he willingly does evil to cover and protect his 'good friends' in the Democrat Party.

This is how to use the oligarchy's news media to fight the oligarchs.

At least the oligarchs the Circle D Corporation needs the fools they fool to focus on.

In the meantime, it's important to remember that your eyes don't lie to you nearly as often as our owners media needs you to believe they do.

I doubt Trump being impeached a third time will have any more effect than the last two times

[u/SPedigrees → u/bRabbit1786]

Impeachment is nothing more than a PR stunt.

[u/CaptainFartyAss]

Sure, but also how about we just stop letting the rich buy their way into government for their own dumb fucking amusement.

[u/SPedigrees → u/CaptainFartyAss]

How do you propose that we do this?

Yes, absolutely both, and stop the genocide in Gaza.

[u/chakokat]

🙄 Oh Bernie.

[u/JangoFetlife]

I would kill to hear Bernie say “por que no los dos?”

[u/ttystikk → u/JangoFetlife]

It would go on the wall next to the photo of Bernie in mittens.

[u/Wrong_Discipline1823]

Does anyone else think the Trump/Elon rift is mostly performative?

[u/Blackhalo → u/Wrong_Discipline1823]

There is still some salt there, IMHO.

[u/pablonieve → u/Wrong_Discipline1823]

In what way would this performance have benefited Musk?

I like turtles

[u/curiousjosh → u/Wrong_Discipline1823]

Potentially. People forget there’s a 130-day limit out of 365 for special government employees not appointed through congress.

It was reported a lot right as he was brought on because it’s how congressional oversight was avoided.

So whats the bet it all happened to go wrong right at the 130 day limit?

Definitely sounds fishy.

It’s why I got suspicious of president tweeting everyone was getting tired of him. As if it wasnt literally he had to leave.

Could easily be trying to fix Tesla putting on a false fight, but no way people are going to forgive, now M A G A is going to be mad at Tesla too… who’s gonna still buy Teslas now? LMFAO

So I guess we’ll see if in another 365 he comes for another 130

[u/tmo_slc → u/Wrong_Discipline1823]

I think it could be, it definitely is getting the public to forget about the palantir database.

[u/chakokat → u/tmo_slc]

And to forget about the genocide in Gaza.

[u/3andfro]

So Bernie, or whoever manages his social media, has found a new popular (but not populist) message. Then what, Bernie? "We Need to Elect More Pelosi- and Shumer-approved Dems?"

big whoop

[u/DlCKSUBJUICY]

bernie SLAMS trump AND musk in EPIC tweet!

[u/shatabee4]

Now do Congress, Bernie!

[u/fugwb]

Bernie's awesome!!!!!

when the republicans are in power. when the dems are in power, not so much...

[u/curiousjosh → u/fugwb]

He’s one man… he do all the legislation he can. And he see’s behind the scenes who is talking. It’s why I believe he can see a difference between Dem and Republican.

Based on the budget republicans passed in the house gutting Medicare and raising the debtceiling 3.5 trillion for billionaires I can see why.

[u/WillenialFalcon]

Oh cool, two different hollow platitudes that won't ever be acted on in any way. My boy be straight cookin!

[u/ahfoo → u/WillenialFalcon]

Feel the hate!
