Bernie on the right side of history as usual
If Hillary's primary team hasn't taken over the DNC, we'd be coming out of term 2 of Bernie with one of the most progressive Supreme Courts in modern history...
Like just stop for a second and think about how much shit would be different if we took the slam dunk of Bernie against trump in 2016, instead of trying to cram Hillary Clinton down America's throats.
We were this fucking close to a functional society
But instead the corporate side of the party would rather lose an election and blame Sanders and the Greens for losing. Same thing in 2000. Nader gave Gore a list of policies and said he'd drop out and endorse him if he just promised to implement just 2 of those policies. Instead of doing that, he chose to lose, and then 9/11 and the Iraq war happened, setting off an unprecedented loss of civil liberties and law enforcement abuses under Bush (and I would still say that Bush Jr was probably worse than Trump in terms of body counts and terrible policies that are still in place).
He would rather be on the left side though.
He supported the bombing of civilians in Yugoslavia.
If there is one thing you can accuse Bernie of, it is definitely not being a good human.
Edit: Welp I totally fucked up and said that wrong and then went to sleep. I intended that to be a double negative and missed the double part. I caucused for Bernie and I think he is one of the most amazing people to ever live. Sorry guys, I goofed big time and I deserve the downvotes for my fuck up.
Can you elaborate that?
Think you're missing a "nt" or have an extra "not" there..
Edit: don't worry too much about it, happens to the best of us 😁
Ooof, this is why I don't play with grammatical structure before bedtime.
Also that's why you should avoid using double negatives.
But I like living dangerously...just not before bedtime.
Weak troll bait. Great job refusing to elaborate
Some people aren't on Lemmy 24/7 and can take a while to respond.
To give you the benefit of the doubt, which I don't think you deserve, homie got several replies immediately. They're obviously a troll, and apparently so are you
ETA: lmao you're a fucking Russian foreign actor, looking at your post history. Why did I bother replying to a government bot
They probably just made a typo.
Edit: Everyone loves Bernie, so it's probably just a typo. But even if it's not, why would that suggest that they're a troll? Isn't it possible that they just don't like Bernie? Maybe they're a Clinton-stan, or a Zionist. Why assume they're a troll? I don't see any trolling in their comment history.
Not every opinion you disagree with is a troll. This is insane. The paranoia on Lemmy.world about trolls is off the charts.
You were right!
I had a feeling that the polyamourous Oregonian who watches Supernatural and campaigns for ranked choice voting might be a fan of Bernie.
Yes, everyone on Lemmy except you is a Russian foreign actor. Sorry you had to find out this way.
You might not understand where you are saying such wrong things.
What? How? When?
