I loved Bernie in 2016 and 2020, Bernie and M4A were big reasons I moved leftward, but I'm disappointed by how big of a tankie Bernie has been about Israel. His far left online supporters have infected his brain with fascist ideas like having news coverage unfairly report how many Palestinians have died. I first got hints of his redfash Marxism when he wanted to abandoned the women of Afghanistan by saying the US should end the forever war, but forever war = forever equal rights.
Anybody else taken back by how far left Bernie is on Foreign policy? I'm kinda glad he lost now ngl
I used to get into fights on the old sub about his shortcomings as a figurehead so mostly feelin kinda vindicated
Yeah, lots of Berniebros were dismissing Warren supporters and saying misogynistic things like "she's a spoiler candidate who opportunistically pounced at anything he said in a moment where Democratic moderates were mounting an offensive against the only current viable progressive candidate," calling her a snake, and other microagressions. Red fash gonna red fash
Glad we got a real feminist president instead of grumpy Bernie (he reminds me of my toxic father, which was my personal Afghanistan)
:vote:
my point back then was that
is dumb, that a socdem is not a socialist, and that social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism.
It's funny because at that point in time I read Bourgeois and Proletarian Democracy by Lenin and it kinda went over my head because you bet I was glued to my monitor paying close attention to Bernie's campaign. At least I have a feeling of comradeship with all my fellow naive dogooders who got burned at that time too, and I remember enough of the insanity from that time that I still go on deranged rants about Warren supporters.
