    if bernie's still alive post revolution he gets to spend the rest of his days chilling at his cabin if i have anything to say about it. but i could see bernie getting his face and maybe some quotes on some future exhibits called like: "pioneering socialist politicians in the United States" going from Debs, then a very confused part about Browder and ending with Bernie. maybe a few quotes from important gen Z revolutionaries about how despite having long ago left his politics in the dust they still credit him for starting their journey to radicalization

      I'm with you on this one. As weak as the left in the US is now, we are streets ahead of where we were in 2015. There's a very good chance I wouldn't be a leftist without Bernie. Probably the same for a lot of comrades here. We wouldn't have this site, that's for sure. He may not be our champion but if I get to play Commie St. Peter, weighing the results of his deeds on a scale, I think he still gets in to Commie Heaven. Not saying we have to put him on a pedestal but can appreciate the downstream effects of actions he took.

        I think commie heaven is off the table when you bomb Yugoslavia and call Chavez a dead communist dictator

          ITT a whole lot of people that forget the horrors the US is exacting around the world this very second.
