The best I ever felt voting was when I voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic primary.
Bernie, you magnificent son of a bitch. Played the long game and won.
bernie would have been great, I’d have loved to vote for hin.
It felt good voting for him in the 2016 primaries at least.
There were dozens of us!
We don’t deserve him. The way the DNC treated him was abhorrent.
It’s not about what we do or don’t deserve.
If people needed to deserve good governance before they could have it, the world would be a fascist hellhole forever.
This is about what’s right or wrong. Good governance is what’s right, and Bernie knows that, and that’s why he fights for it whether we deserve it or not.
Yes, fortunately he is actually in it for the people. He doesn’t seem to hold a grudge.
Right! That’s why he immediately caucused with Dems and the dnc after that election. Right?
Truth is, Bernie is all in with the DNC. Yet you post what?
Bernie knows more than you and his actions prove how little you know. He works with others rather than demonizing groups. Thats the long game. Not talking shit.
Maybe ask him? You know after he caucused with the Dems and achieved policy victories?
Does Bernie’s own actions count or is it just your feelings?
Bernie been fighting so hard, I hope he can retire soon and allow the mantle to go to someone decent that can do what been doing for 60 years.
Ro Khanna is staying righteous.
The only way Bernie retires is if we get off our asses and make his policies law. Otherwise he will be wagging his finger at social injustice from his death bed.
Let’s do it for Bernie!
Hopefully 100+ new people trying to join congress in 2028
Same. I hope he’s got a group of people primed to take over so he can retire.
i think it’s fairly obvious that he is positioning AOC for this. i can live with that!
I meant more for someone to take over his senate seat. Want to make sure it doesn’t go to an R. But yes loving AOC being part of the Bernie legacy.
I bet he feels pretty good right now. It’s so nice to see him smile like that.
The people’s President
Bernie for Senate Majority Leader.
Too old unfortunately, instead I vote for… wait, what choices even are there? I know there’s Abdul, but what other progressives are in/soon to be in the Senate at this stage?
They would never elect a freshman Senator into that position.
So unfortunately the usual options
For President, sure, but what’s wrong with age with Senate Majority Leader? He has the cognitive capacity obviously and still tours the USA. Seems a befitting capstone to his public service and experience.
If the worst happens… They just change leader.
You also don’t really put freshman Senators in that role for a few reasons.
I would say also: the agenda that won the day is Bernie’s. He defined this agenda and the wave that just came into power lives in his shadow.
The new generation of progressives needs to start doing stuff and legitimizing itself and Bernie already has all the legitimacy he needs. Also you never know when he’ll start mentally declining and the divisions inside the progressive wing that would produce would be pretty bad; it wouldn’t be as simple as “just find another guy.”
I’d support Elizabeth Warren for Majority Leader. She’s got the fight in her
He’s a million years old get someone younger.
Who are you my wife?
Is that how she responds when you suggest a minaj?
The movement that led to at least 18 progressive victories in congressional races and 42 left-wing winners down-ballot “started with a man with 1% vote and three people at his announcement” of his presidential bid in 2015, said one organizer Tuesday night as Democrats won control of the US Senate and House, a majority of governorships, and made major gains in state legislatures.
“Bernie made the path” for progressive politicians to win crucial elections, said a labor organizer based in San Francisco, referring to Sen. Bernie Sanders(I-Vt.). “This wave has been a long time coming.”
Fuck that, he should’ve been elected 2 presidential cycles ago and there would be more Americans alive today. Bernie had nothing to do with any “long game” plans that saw ice murdering people in the streets.
And some of us still blame Hillary and DWS for not letting Bernie beat Trump in 2016.
I’m already sick of all the back slapping. This is the first time I ever thought of these words. But, really, it’s “thank you Trump”. Now get something done Democrats. Focus on shit that will come to fruition in two years. And don’t make it “we’re going to cut everyone a check”. And don’t make it an endless slog subpoenas and grandstanding. I’ve got a suggestion: breakup SpaceX and nationalize Starlink. They’ve already proved they are a national security threat.
You might not want to hear this, but it’s going to be a slog… Because we still don’t have a super majority.
Dems squandered two. Clinton and Obama. They just can’t get out of their own way.
Hard disagree. They didn’t squander anything. They did what they wanted to do.
We are more informed now, we can organize better now.
Neo-libs are getting primaried more and more. At least some of them KNOW that they can’t fuck up again, or they’re gone.
Everyone needs to target the 12-15 possible GOP senators who are up for re election in 2028 and make them realize that they will go the way of their GOP colleagues yesterday if they don’t support an agenda that will help average Americans most likely at the expense of their money bag donors this creating a veto proof Senate.
Every Republican has shown us who they are. They won’t support a better agenda, they can only be replaced.
And I’m tired of fucktards but here we are, people need to have their release the real work can start tomorrow
I’m just tired, boss.
A bit less so today.
Yea I call BS. This is somehow the same Bernie that was the patron saint of return2ozama’s anti dem crusade?
This is the same Bernie that caucused with those same evil dems that return2ozama demonized.
The same dems they crucified fOr ThE gEnOcIdE…
Now Dems are suddenly okay by their measure. Now return2ozama’s happy to claim it was “Bernie all along” like Bernie had control of the Dem party.
I blocked that user a long while ago and recommend you do too
And then…
