Bernie eat your heart out
I know this isn't the point of your post but fuck Bernie for his atrocious cowardice on Palestine
that would be awesome. heighten the contradictions, make all the ghoul publications denounce him, get a massive popularity boost. unfortunately he's just not a very good politician
Trump could. But since FoxNews is crying and shaking (as usual) he wont. But yeah Bernie or any other big healthcare for all person would be wise to use the stage now.
How would a pardon even work here? Murder is a state offense, I don't know what the gun charges would be, and crossing state lines makes everything worse.
I don't think it would. It would be a wild power move to ask for it though.
the older i get the less i understand about anything. in this country bernie is too radical to be pres but everyone loves the ceo murderer
Bernie was too radical for the party to allow to be president, not too radical to get the popular support needed
Bernie's loss was more about the complicated layers of anti-democratic gatekeeping around the Democratic primary and other types of election design flaws in the US than actual approval rating. If there was a ranked choice voting system with Trump, Hillary, Sanders in 2016, he easily would have won as he was the least mutually divisive candidate.
it's the disconnect between actual public opinion, and what the media presents it as
There's a lag so there's a couple of days where people true feeling poke through before they can lock it down and distract
case in point look at front page of reddit for example, yesterday 80% of posts are about The Hero, today none and instead were supposed to care that trump said it's hard to make the prices of good come down
wouldn't work tho, as his "hero" credentials are assigned by the average american, and the ruling class grants him the rank of "enemy", so any actions by Iran against this man would have the opposite intended effects.
I wonder if that also makes the snitch the person with the lowest approval rating
It's peculiar because he is a lightning rod for rage, but you get the reactionary praise from libs and establishment types. People who do heinous crimes are pretty universally reviled. So by volume of conscious disapproval, yes. But by absolute value of rating regardless of number of impressions no.
I think the CEO probably has worse numbers, though the general populous seemed to really approve of his dying in the street.
You're right. Remembering that just made me smile, thanks.
i have a couple comrades who are already lathing AOC-Luigi 2036
they weren't like, fantasizing about it per se, just thinking out loud about luigi's popularity and age
spoiler
the bit was supposed to be that Luigi is acceptable while AOC is totally out of bounds but I guess I didn't pull it off
oh, i'm dumb, i think it makes sense in context. that's a good bit
I agree, although I'm not sure most US people would even view assassinating a healthcare CEO as "political" (which we need to change).
Since we're comparing him to the bern another way they're similar to me is how much more leftist they seemed before i found out who they really were... And also for each, I don't know how much that misunderstanding was their actions or my desperation
i think about this sometimes, like try to come up with americans who significantly more than 50% of the country actually like or support. it's difficult. we live in a society or whatever
