Bernie Sanders is a big fat piece of shet.
He's openly admitted and platformed as a socialist.
He's only saying this, because Obama, and Pelosi strong armed Biden out of the race. Exactly what Bernie let Obama do to HIM in 2020.

What makes this so hypocritical? BERNIE recommended Tim Walz.
Cry your crocodile tears about the machine pushing you and Biden out of the races, while you
Put in one of your own to the replacement squad.

Bernie, you're a scumbag piece of shet.

We're not in a democracy period.
And those of us that think we are in a republic need to look up the definition of Maintained Democracy. AKA Socialist Democracy AKA Soviet Democracy.
That's what we are in the baby stages of. It's what Bernie and all the other Neo-Socialist dims have been working on for the last 96 years.

So Bernie wasn’t “forced” out in 2016? That was a fair primary with no external forces?

I don’t agree with Bernie often. But I sure as hell do here

My Jamaican college football friend said "He was voting for Bernie because Jesus was a Socialist".

Bernie is 100% correct in his assessment.

He would have been a better challenge for Trump but the Dems saw him as a threat to Hillary which ironically lost them the election as it caused Bernie voters to stay home.

hush money must have finally run out. After selling out and not fighting like Tulsi, he is going to wax poetic as some experienced intellectual. Dude, you are a sell out...

Tulsi has to be on of the most principled politicians of my life.

he took a lake house. Trump took an FBI raid and a bullet. and already had a lot of lake houses

I don't care what this a-hole thinks.

Tulsi took being called a Russian agent (by a vile person) and being put on a terrorist watch list.



Sanders is a disgusting person.

They paid Bernie off to shut his trap about it. Otherwise, the guy would have been on the war path after the two Presidential election cycles in a row of him being railroaded.

bullshite. They pulled major shenanigans and bought the early drop-outs and endorsements of other primary candidates with cabinet appointments to railroad Bernie in 2020... they straight up rigged the primaries in 2016 for Killary. I hate the guy's politics but for liberals, there was a huge growing wave of authentic, grass roots support for the guy and the establishment did not like that at all.

With honest primaries Bernie Sanders would’ve won the last three cycles.

The DNC base is majority socialist and has been since 2016.

The DNC apparatus just rigs their primaries to make sure the plebes don’t get to actually choose their candidate and their base just deals with it.


100% accurate.

Bernie reaches a lot of the same conclusions MAGA does, but the roads to get there are very different. He is actually an ideological ally in a really weird, tangential sense.
