With the death toll in Gaza exceeding 15,000 and the horror of Israel’s war of annihilation made even more clear by on-the-spot reports during the bombing lull, and worldwide protests against the genocide continuing unabated, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is seeking to present himself as an evenhanded advocate for both the Israeli state and the Palestinians.

      lmao

      Oh wait, you’re actually serious

      The US has never had anyone who could tangibly gain national power that was actually left wing, because they all get subverted or commit suicide by shooting themselves multiple times in the head.

      Sanders, AOC, Rashida Tlaib are some of the only ones who hold ANY sort of left wing ideals, and ALL of them have serious problems. Sanders is basically a neolib vis a vis foreign policy, AOC gets browbeaten into submission and is frankly basically a garden variety lib at this point, and Tlaib had some issues (which I cannot recall), and is probably going to get primaried if she doesn’t stop locking horns with the DNC over things like selling guns to Israel.

      Who you vote for doesn’t matter anyway, since libs controlled the entire legislature and presidency when Roe got overturned, and Biden put a knife in the backs of unions by backing strike breaking

      Voting in places like the US is an illusion to keep people complacent.
