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

      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.

        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.
