There’s never any real discussion of detailed fixes in this kind of complaint—because that might acknowledge we can fix the problem without overthrowing the system. There’s never any argument about how under socialism (or some other alternative economic model) public policy tradeoffs, political failures, or scarcity just wouldn’t exist.
As someone not from the US (but who has lived/worked/studied in the US), Sanders seems like the only member of the US upper house that is willing to speak honestly and engage in haram speech that goes against local provincial orthodoxy.
I'm literally a member of my state Democratic party's progressive caucus.
I'm sure you're very knowledgeable about how American political parties function.
I hear grass crying out to be touched. Trees crying out to be seen. Plants crying out to be smelled. A sun, desperate to touch skin.
Biden: beware of oligarchy
Losers who didn't vote for him or Kamala: STFU OLD MAN
I'm not reading all that.
Touch grass.
75,000,000 people voted for Kamala.
77,000,000 people voted for a guy who wants Israel to "finish the job" in Gaza.
You only speak for yourself.
Millions of people have voted by mail for decades, that doesn't explain why more people voted for Biden in 2020 than anyone in 2024.
He's right to point out that either no alternative is offered or the alternative is just more regulated capitalism with a stronger safety net.
Theory is useless.
That's certainly a way you can describe something.
Ugh, capitalism
Everything's a strawman because you say so!
Yes
Sorry for disrupting your circlejerk!
Here, let me get into the mood:
The only thing we need to do is make Bernie president, then we'll never have to think about politics ever again!
Did you read the part where 25 Democratic Senators have higher lifetime ratings than him?
Anyway, the contention here is the stupid notion that the only "good" US Senator is Bernie.
Yeah, the "only Bernie loves us" bullshit.
Here are ratings from the AFL-CIO, America's union federation, where you can find the current year and lifetime ratings of all US Senators.
Bernie has a 98%.
Twenty five Senate Democrats have higher pro-union ratings than him.
Have you ever examined your own biases, or the biases of the American social media that you're exposed to?
Oh now it is.
Thanks Bernie.
