    oh no he voted on a bill that would have passed without his vote, guess the sole reason m4a is popular in America and a lifetime spent advocating for workers is cancelled sweaty

      Supporting imperialism is ok when your vote doesn't decide the issue.

      the sole reason m4a is popular

      great man theory time let's go

      How dare I criticize bernie for his vote. How dare I point out that he supported intervention in Yugoslavia. Truly cancel culture has gone too far.

      Screaming "CANCEL CULTURE" when we're criticizing a politican for voting to bomb civilians pretty much epitomizes the statement "cut a liberal and a fascist bleeds".

      You can support Bernie when he does good things without reactively defending him on the shitty things he's done.

        yep im fash for thinking that criticizing a house vote from 22 years ago that would have changed nothing either way he voted isn’t productive and worthwhile. Literally no leftist that isn’t a succ dem thinks American Imperialism is good.

          TIL voting for bombing civilians is ok as long as you didn't cast the tie-breaking vote.

              Go post your imperialism apologia over on r/socialdemocracy

              Edit: Whew, looks like I ruffled a few feathers. I guess being a dick is when I point out your flawed justification. I don't care if it happened a century ago, or how much his vote actually influenced the outcome, what matters is he expressed support for American intervention in Yugoslavia, something that is indefensible. You explicitly acknowledged that you believed it was acceptable to vote for the aforementioned intervention because his vote didn't turn the tables. This is what is known as an excuse. Is it so hard to acknowledge that Bernie fucked up? Imagine if I tried to handwave away Biden's support for segregation by saying it happened a long time ago and also he didn't manage to save it so what does it matter anyway.

            your argument is dumb because your assuming people are voting yes on bills they disagree with because “they are going to pass anyway”

            im not saying that lol

                because it literally doesn’t matter that Bernie voted yes on it, wow a politician had the wrong opinion 22 years ago on a bill that had bipartisan support and was probably given false justification/information by the intelligence community anyway. If he then supported the Iraq war sure but bringing up shit that literally doesn’t matter in a country that doesn’t exist anymore is stupid and counter productive. no leftist thinks American imperialism is good

                    I'd like this guy to go to the Balkans and tell everyone there how irrelevant the whole Yugoslavia thing was
