From the article …

“Without these standards of decency and morality, this planet may rapidly descend into anarchy, never-ending wars, and barbarism.”

AKA, “the center will not hold”.

I want to live in the alternate timeline, with President Sanders.

Sanders is doing right now, exactly the right thing. Its the thing Biden should be doing but is seemingly incapable of. Its being on the right side of history as history is happening and not accepting some fatalistic inevitability about the future.

He is describing an inevitability; Socialism or Barbarism.

Considering what’s happening around us currently, I’ve started believing that it’s actually barbarism until socialism.

Heard on the news today that Biden said that it is not genocide in Gaza. He really wants to lose I guess.

I voted, donated, and knocked on doors for Sanders. He should be our president not the fucking lesser evil Biden.

I’m still going to vote for Biden. He is wrong on the Gaza situation, though has made strides elsewhere.

Unfortunately it is also either him or possibly THE Idiot Savant. Would prefer ol’ Bernie, even today.

Literally today.

He’d be rounding out his second term right now. He was clearly up to the task. I hope he remains in the Senate until he passes. He’s an exceptional person, who should be treated as such, like RBG.

The close friend of Scalia’s who opposed worker’s rights, indigenous rights, and held up the constitutionality of solitary confinement? The one who prioritized her ego over not giving Trump an extra SCOTUS pick?

I have my criticisms of Bernie, but I would never put him in that category.

I wasn’t aware of those votes. I’ll look into them. Thank you for pointing them out to me.

Her strong stance against gender and sexual orientation discrimination, and support for undocumented people as well as people with disabilities is why I mentioned her as an advocate for the people.

Senate vacancies are voted in by citizens, but yes, RBG opened the doors for women and Amy Coney Barrett immediately began to close them all behind her.

I fear that if things get any worse, we’ll have to “Weekend at Bernie’s” him.

I hope we get enough progressives in the Senate so that he can retire.

I’d prefer if he leaned more heavily into supporting upcoming socialist politicians throughout his state to help lead the next generation of leftist politicians into power.
