    The last great presidential candidate. The only once I’ve ever actually liked.

    Hopefully more senators like AOC will come around that were motivated by Bernie and can take the party over.

    The right are perpetually angry. They are angry when they win and angry when they lose. It’s a hallmark of their cult. There’s no pleasing these people because they don’t know what they’re angry about, they just prefer to be angry.

      Every fascist needs an enemy. The threat is required to rally around their flag and blame someone else for their failures. When there’s no obvious threat in sight, it has to be produced - else there’s no other way to maintain popularity among subordinates while also sanctioning them.

    Bernie “I wouldn’t call what Israel is doing to Gaza a Genocide” Sanders is just trying to save face after sucking the toes of the Democrats who spent the last 8 years rat fucking him into compliance. He is as deeply embedded into the Democratic establishment he pretends to oppose as Nancy Pelosi.

    “Wahhh but he had to save democracy” yeah he spent 4 years refusing to prepare for what was an inevitably tough challenge from Trump, with the last year actively tone policing the public who opposed the genocide in Gaza.

    Radlibs are scrambling to find a way to come out of this historic defeat as if they weren’t helping orchestrate it from the beginning.
