I still can't get his office to comment about anti-genocide protesters that were arrested in his office back in november. fuck him *edit - if you're only responses to downvote without actually talking about it, you're part of the fucking problem. I have receipts so you'd better know what the fuck you're talking about
Why the hell would anti-genocide protesters be protesting Bernie Sanders, the rare jewish voice that has condemned Israel's war? It goes to show how the biggest unwitting enablers of Israel getting continued support from the US are these edgelord protesters. All they did was piss people off.
It's time for everyone on the left to be clear-eyed. Just try to be convincing. That's the only thing we gotta do differently if we wanna end poverty, war, and live in a literal utopia. Just try being convincing and picking the right hills to die on and not being willfully blind of weak spots, just once.
this was november. Bernie Sanders didn't call for a goddamn ceasefire until December 13
he was in Vermont when the arrests occurred, and I was trying to find out if he was aware of their presence before the arrest, if he'd been involved in the chain that had them arrested, and if he had done anything to help them after they'd been arrested. I'm not sitting here demanding he do anything, I just want to know yes or no to each of those questions and I don't think that's unreasonable for an elected official.
Those weren't anti-genicide protesters. I don't know where the fuck you got that from. If anything they were people perfectly okay with a Ukrainian genocide. Their goal was to get the United States to stop helping Ukraine. Their goal was to let Russia brutalize and destroy the Ukrainian people.
they were protesting about shit in Palestine dude.

Oh sorry I thought you were talking about that other event with the pink protesters. Since that was in his office specifically.
this was in his office. that's why I posted the sources
Well it was in a lot of people's offices. I've seen nothing to say they were arrested while physically in his office or that he or his staff was the one that called for them to be arrested.
it states in both that it was the offices of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. you're either pretending that you read the sources or playing dumb for some reason I'm not interested in either
No, it's says the offices of Warren, Sanders, and others. Maybe take your own advice and read more carefully? Or check a source with actual details like this one that says they weren't even at individual offices but the building as a whole: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/capitol-police-arrest-pro-palestinian-protesters-who-swarmed-senate-building/ar-BB1llwsW
