How very antisemiti…oh, hang on…
Have we proof of bernies bar mitzva? Show us your bar mitzva card Bernie!
Bernie should have been president.
I wish Bernie would weaponize the filibuster the way Rand Paul does to block these things. I’m glad his heart is in the right place and I’m glad he does these things, but he doesn’t want to play dirty and it’s 2024, you need to play dirty when they’re willing to.
If anything could get the Democrats to actually get rid of the filibuster, it would be blocking weapons for genocide.
The problem with using the filibuster is that it only works when you know the other side doesn’t have 67% in the senate. With both the democratic and republican parties being in the pocket of AIPAC, I suspect they could easily get the votes to break Bernie’s filibuster.
It’ll at least get them on the record so they can be the bad guys in the documentary later.
Maybe, but I feel like it’s worth a try.
My dude, Bernie did a 8.5 hour filibuster and was coherent and on point the whole time, no phone book reading https://youtu.be/pm6qy_9E0rY
That’s sort of my point…
You don’t need to do that to filibuster anymore. And Rand Paul doesn’t.
How much can he hold up the sale if the rest of the senators are on board?
Not. Bernie is just posturing. Controlled opposition means pretending to oppose something when it doesn’t matter but supporting Biden when push comes to shove.
Thank you, Senator Bernard Sanders. You rock and you’re my hero.
But please think about the shareholders!
Aipac fuming
Bernie is a national treasure. His qualities as a politician and as a human being are going be recognized by the generations to come.
If we don’t elect more people like him quick, I’m afraid future generations will see us as all the same.
I hope future generations know that amidst all that is happening, there are those of us who are fighting back, even against terrible odds. There have always been people like that, and I hope there always will be
He already endorsed Biden and Harris. This is just bad acting.
Nuance not a word in your vocabulary.
You’re bad acting
Must hurt to be downvoted to hell and a broken English reply not only makes more sense but also gets upvoted.
I was mocking them
The Jew Bernie Sanders is ANTISEMITIC!
Hey isnt that the money for Ukraine ?!
It’s not a ‘sale’. It’s a handout to the welfare apartheid state, while Americans are wondering why their roads are falling apart, their education sucks and no universal health care.
It is a sale. US policy now is get the hell away from the Middle East. If Israel wants to fight, we can sell them weapons, but we won’t be sending our soldiers to fight their wars. This is why we also pushing so hard for EVs.
As for roads and education that’s actually covered local government and local taxes.
The reason we don’t have universal healthcare is because Republicans consistently block it (they even trying over and over remove ACA). Universal healthcare not only wouldn’t cost us more it would actually be cheaper to what we have right now.
we won’t be sending our soldiers to fight their wars
Lol sure.
we also pushing so hard for EVs
Lol Part Deux. Yes, America is leading the way in EV adoption while phasing out big, gas-guzzling trucks and SUVs as rapidly as humanly possible.
Universal healthcare not only wouldn’t cost us more it would actually be cheaper to what we have right now.
Congratulations on not being completely wrong in your comment.
It is a sale.
If I give you $400 per week for 5 weeks and tell you to spend it at my store, and you come in and buy $2000 worth of stuff… did I actually make a sale?
Tell that to the arms companies that are supplying about 5 bil worth of stuff for 20 bil of taxpayer’s money
With more weapoms shipments being sent since Oct 7th, than days have passed since Oct 7th, it’s absolutely time for prompt action. I admire Mr. Sanders and his resolve. With this resolution, maybe we can prevent another 30k deaths in nearly 10 mons time. This is a bold undertaking, reflecting the collective will of most other countries that condemn the Palestinian genocide. Well done.
Thank you Bernie for having both sense and moral courage. I mean it’ll fail to pass because almost everyone else are bastards, but thank you anyway.

Weirdo
White genocide isn’t a thing, dipshit. Now go be a racist somewhere else - preferably in Hell.
I think it helps to force a vote on unpopular things they might not otherwise admit.
Bernie on the right side of history as usual
He supported the bombing of civilians in Yugoslavia.
If there is one thing you can accuse Bernie of, it is definitely not being a good human.
You might not understand where you are saying such wrong things.
Ooof, this is why I don’t play with grammatical structure before bedtime.
Also that’s why you should avoid using double negatives.
But I like living dangerously…just not before bedtime.
Think you’re missing a “nt” or have an extra “not” there…
Can you elaborate that?
What? How? When?
Weak troll bait. Great job refusing to elaborate
Great job refusing to elaborate
Some people aren’t on Lemmy 24/7 and can take a while to respond.
To give you the benefit of the doubt, which I don’t think you deserve, homie got several replies immediately. They’re obviously a troll, and apparently so are you
ETA: lmao you’re a fucking Russian foreign actor, looking at your post history. Why did I bother replying to a government bot
Yes, everyone on Lemmy except you is a Russian foreign actor. Sorry you had to find out this way.
They’re obviously a troll
They probably just made a typo.
You were right!
I had a feeling that the polyamourous Oregonian guy who watches Supernatural and campaigns for ranked choice voting would be a fan of Bernie.
He would rather be on the left side though.
If Hillary’s primary team hasn’t taken over the DNC, we’d be coming out of term 2 of Bernie with one of the most progressive Supreme Courts in modern history…
Like just stop for a second and think about how much shit would be different if we took the slam dunk of Bernie against trump in 2016, instead of trying to cram Hillary Clinton down America’s throats.
We were this fucking close to a functional society
But instead the corporate side of the party would rather lose an election and blame Sanders and the Greens for losing. Same thing in 2000. Nader gave Gore a list of policies and said he’d drop out and endorse him if he just promised to implement just 2 of those policies. Instead of doing that, he chose to lose, and then 9/11 and the Iraq war happened, setting off an unprecedented loss of civil liberties and law enforcement abuses under Bush (and I would still say that Bush Jr was probably worse than Trump in terms of body counts and terrible policies that are still in place).
