    This reply is exactly my point. And…? So he’s not sufficiently left and/or effective enough for you. What is the solution? It’s easy to dump on others, and a hell of a lot harder to actually produce answers. I’ll also add that there’s a lot on the left who propose pie in the sky answers that resemble little in the way of constructive, real world, “how does this get done in real life” type answers. I’m on the left, too. I’m all for solutions. Let’s hear them. I’m beyond “Bernie is a shill” and “Bernie is useless”. Let’s hear your genius plan then for how to better this country. Be constructive.

      For one stop following false idols. If Bernie was for real he would have fought Hilary and Biden to the end. He didn’t. He folded and started touring for then right away with the lesser of two evils talk. He came and took all that grassroots money and organizing and handed right over to the DNC. Bernie comes out when the people are angry and need a lullaby and the democrats need more money.

      I have no doubt Bernie (if he stayed true to character) would have won both times as the democratic candidate if not for DNC being obstructionists and him not folding, but he folded. In 2020 he could have made a 3rd party viable, but he folded. He should have run 2024 with the state of everything, but he backed Biden then Harris.

      Why does anyone think that guy is now all of a sudden going to fight for them?

      Never vote for democrats, people who carry water for democrats, or anyone who takes unregistered foreign money. It’s that simple. They will never advocate for real change. Tell all your friends and tell them about the significance of 1972. And source your news from a wide political spectrum of real independent media.

        But the Democrats are the lesser evil of two. Just because you vote in the lesser evil doesn’t mean you can’t fight it, later on. Bernie Sanders knew he most likely wouldn’t win, so he focused on fighting the Greater Evil: Trump, and the MAGA mob.

          Knew he most likely wouldn’t win…

          Then why did he ask for all of that money and act like he was going to win?

          In 2020 he had the delegate lead going into SC before he folded as if he had the worst hand on the table.

          Bernie is nothing more than the tamer of emotions. He will not fight for you in any real meaningful way. Time to leave Tio Bernie behind.
