No Bernie let them fight. "Never Interfere With an Enemy While He’s in the Process of Destroying Himself."
Oh he's absolutely letting them fight, he's just stoking them up more playing into the big issue splitting the republican party in two.
Yes it’s perfect.
I generally agree with you but I think there's an exception to every rule, I mean, he just dumped gas on the MAGA dumpster fire. What's wrong with that?
Also, love me some barqs my dude.
It's more like throwing a pork chop into the middle of a dog fight and running away lol
To me it feels like he threw a sealed gas can into a fire
I'm worried this gives them a common enemy.
The Judean Peoples Front!

As much as I hate to say it, it gives them a powerful enemy.
I think the expression is "Don't interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake."
Bernie always was MAGA but not for the slogan but actually to improve people's lives.
Well take away the "again" because America never had what he wants.
We did have a 90% tax bracket... and Roe v. Wade, and Presidents who were presumably accountable to the justice system, and elections that people generally accepted the outcome, and much less toxic disconnect between political parties, and media that wasn't all owned by a handful of billionaires, and we had the Fairness Doctrine, and Citizens United.
So yah getting back to that basic level of functionality would be nice actually.
Whenever I think of "MAGA" I think of the strong middle class that characterized post-war America and wonder wtf these people are actually doing.
US has a lot of dark history for sure, but being middle class wasn't as bad as it is right now.
Strong disagree. Keep them riled up. Make sure musk isn't able to distract them.
I don't know man I think now would be the perfect time for aoc to take the opposite side of bernie and then both sides of musk vs maga can point and say they are working with the dems
