    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.
