Bernie doesn’t really represent the left
He was the compromise
They know that right
Lol no he's the most extreme left they can imagine without going full Stalin
Honestly Bernie is Stalin if Stalin wasn't so mild, and Biden is a hardcore Leninist with a few shades of communist fascism.
he’s the most extreme left they can imagine without going full Stalin
In a country where everyone to the left of John McCain gets labeled a Stalinist, the term is little more than invective. It doesn't have anything to do with policy.
If Bernard has a silver tongue, then let me die by his sword.
tbh, until about 4 months ago I didn't know that 🤡
reading marxist texts does a whole lot for the liberal subject.
Bernie doesn’t really represent the left
No single individual is going to adequately represent a broad ill-defined social movement, particularly in a bourgeois liberal democracy.
Expecting Sanders to be all things for all people was a mistake from the get go. He's not a Messiah. He's just marginally better than what has historically been on offer.
He also voted to bomb yugoslavia and voted for 5 iraq war budgets, i know people here like him but bernie fits the definition of social imperialist
besides just "war is bad", why was bombing yugoslavia even bad? like wasn't there an actual genocide going on?
the bombing was bad because it targeted Civilian targets (cities) so a bunch of innocents died to make the US look good, they even bombed the chinese embassy.
they even bombed the chinese embassy.
i mean how else would they get their racism fix, it would've been just killing whites otherwise
i'll leave it up to parenti.
But I eventually broke with him because of his position on the Yugoslavia war, the "humanitarian war" as Bill Clinton and his national security state people called it. As did many liberals and some Trotskyites and anarchists, Bernie stood shoulder to shoulder with NATO and the CIA and the Clinton White House in the destruction of Yugoslavia, the 78 days of bombing, drenching Serbia in depleted uranium, leaving Serbia with the highest cancer rate in Europe and breaking up Yugoslavia, one of the best social democracies in Europe, though not without its serious blemishes.
5 Iraq war budgets? Is that the first Iraq War? The second? The insurgencies? The 2014 redeployment because ISIS? All of them?
Bernie has foreign policy issues sure but the drone strike comment by the liberal ghoul here is bad faith. Bernie would not have ordered this strike; he immediately criticized it as soon as Biden ordered it.
Oh shit damn
Wait remind me who is president right now and has the power to do these things?
Me, but with $2000 more dollars in my pocket: Wtf bernie cut this bullshit out you fucking asshole!!!
It's funny as hell how r/JoeBiden has half the subscribers that r/ChapoTrapHouse had before being banned.
Biden really gets the young folks exited.
:biden-nibble:
Why subscribe to /r/JoeBiden when you've got /r/politics, /r/neoliberal, /r/democrats, and a dozen other liberal subs pushing the same lines?
There is a saying that you can't wash yourself clean with other people's filth. I guess that goes for other people's hypothetical filth as well.
Still better then Biden, although that's a pretty low bar
Read the thread if you like to inject poison directly into your brain
much of the left was pretty good about keeping a healthy distance from Bernie, imo. I'm sure that this did not come across at all to the centrists
