Most cowardly old man award, god, it's hard to believe how much I advocated for his presidential candidacy with how much of a disappointment he's become, it's to the point I kinda wish covid or the heart attack gun got him, christ

y'all should've known he was a loyal servant to US Empire (which includes full support to Israel), during his first run, his suggestion for the Middle East was having the Saudis play a major role. When asked about his views on Hugo Chavez, he said he was just another dead Communist Dictator. Don't compare this spineless careerist to Corbyn, who has always supported Palestinian liberation and supported the Pink Tide, even at the cost of his political career.

Opened my eyes, he’s not cowardly, he’s just a committed Zionist who wants the state of Israel to exist with a nice face

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 27 points 2 days ago (2 children)

my wish casting is that time he got all bruised up they really scared the shit out of him and that turned him into a spineless worm but I know that that's probably less likely than he's just actually sympathetic to israel and a spineless worm

Something definitely happened to him between 2016 and 2021 or so. He became much more subservient to the Democrats and began echoing their narratives about "Russian Disinfo" that were once used to attack him, instead of talking about Healthcare/The 1%/Big Banks/Big Pharma/etc. He switched to a much more pro-Dem and pro-War footing, and sold out what was left of his principles. He basically got turned into a radlib instead of a socialist. Radlibs are dangerous for this reason, I think everyone knows what I'm talking about. The people who want to nuke Putler because he made America racist.

I met someone like that irl, an older woman who was lamenting the removedd state of the modern American left -- "I hate Putin because of what he's done to the American Left, turned them into mouthpieces for Russia and Iran. Back in my day we knew not to parrot the enemy's talking points!"

DSA losers came up to me wearing bernie shirts the other day, asked them what they were doing for Palestine and you just head mumbles of "we're doing a lot of stuff!!" Fuck off.

Bernie isn't even a DSA member these people are almost a decade out of date.

Social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism.

More and more people are saying it.

yeah and it's really insidious because I think the natural response to a liberal hearing about it when capitalism is in crisis is like "aight, bet" so they end up halfheartedly supporting bandaid measures and never thinking to address how capitalism itself is an inherently exploitative machine that grinds people's lives for its fuel because they think if they just defeat the conservatives and get their bandaids it'll all get better

[–] WildWeezing420@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

People think this is a meme until they don't

That's how Maoist Standard English works too.

How it starts: "Lol, spelling/pronouncing it 'AmeriKKKa' is funny hyperbole.

How it ends up: "No that's just an accurate description of the USA"

[–] WildWeezing420@hexbear.net 30 points 2 days ago

Do you remember when he kept saying "We don't want a ceasefire. Hamas has to be dealt with. We need a humanitarian pause"?

What a fucking blowbag

[–] SuperNovaCouchGuy2@hexbear.net 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Didn't the dog live in a "socialist kibbutz" in occupied Palestine for a while?

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago

Someone I knew told me they lived on a commune. They said it to commiserate on left principals and challenges of living with other people.

It was a settler kibbutz.

It’s a nice reminder that everyone has flaws and blind spots. Kill your heroes etc

[–] azalea_simsii@lemmygrad.ml 37 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i generally agree, but fighting tooth and nail to defend a genocidal apartheid state is a monumental flaw ngl

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

Yeah it’s a huge indictment (and if he wasn’t already a gazillion years old) it alone disqualifies him from being seen as a torchbearer of the movement by ourselves or others.

[–] blunder@hexbear.net 21 points 2 days ago

I was a huge Bernie bro but the dude has had like 50 years in politics to investigate this issue, it's not a blind spot it's just what he thinks.

It is ok to support Bernie for being a leftward pressure on the ultra-right regime while criticizing him for being a rightward pressure on the Left.

I hope you have the same energy for mtg and any johnny come lately chud

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

well yeah fuck em but they have already said and done so much other pit worthy shit and at least they aren't pretending to be my friend or political representative as The Left

[–] SuperNovaCouchGuy2@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

Yep liberal zionist trash like this are insidious, they rot the left from the inside.

[–] WildWeezing420@hexbear.net 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Do you have the same hatred for a rabid animal and a friend who stabbed you in the back?

Nobody ever expected anything from the right except hatred and evil shit. It's who they are and always have been. They have to be defeated, there's no merit to their positions, there's no point in debating them.

Whereas the Social Democrats are our "friends" who actively poison us from the inside.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

You’re absolutely right, I was being an asshole, didn’t mean to defend bernie

[–] SickSemper@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Why would anyone have the same energy for an enemy as one has for someone who claims to be an ally? MTG gets plenty of shit for Jewish space lasers, meanwhile people will still try and argue that Bernie is working tirelessly for a ceasefire. So one is obviously more insidious than the other

Yeah he is a neo nazi (zionist) chud performing genocide denial for his country. You're just soft on him because he runs on the promise that he will make american lives better, fuck everyone else internationally (whose lives don't matter as you have clearly demonstrated). No more copes. A million people have been murdered in a cold blooded genocide by the american empire to steal land for their cancer military base in the Levant, with the world watching, and he is part of the fucking problem.
