Come on, he’s almost gone. I admire him, but it’s sad to watch.

My, my! It’s good to see so many younger Americans ripping on an 83 year old man who has lived his socialist beliefs since high school, regardless of cost. Bernie has been outvoted, dragged, beaten, arrested, and then gone right back out to the front lines and done it all again: what, pray, are you doing , now, when it is needed, to compare? Aside, I mean, from waving your keyboard at the big, bad socialist who is at least still out there trying to push the stone up the hill once more, because it’s what he can still do?

I thought the fascists were the problem.

It is good to see Bernie out there active. The only issue is where does this all go? Harris lost and no leadership changes has been made. Dems are actively throwing their hands up saying they can’t do anything.

Bernie lines up all the people who thought of leaving the Democrats and prevents them from organizing around an alternative.

Then when the next election comes Bernie tells them to unconditionally vote Democrat because they have no other choice.

Pied Piper Sanders.

So then we vote in the next milqtoast neolib who doesn’t meaningfully improve things in enough time to stop people from voting R again?

We need a leftist party and as long as the Neolibs are in control of the Democrats they will never allow that to happen.

I can only hope to people not looking to the DNC for answers and we break their duopoly with some sort of working class / labor party.

Most of them are totally fine with most everything that’s happening. They have all the tools to keep their stock portfolios stacked, they never cared about poors, and they get to campaign on “omg look how awful.” They’re gonna whine performatively and not do a damn thing to actually stop a single thing. If they had half a collective spine and a fractuon the moral fortitude Bernie does, we never would have gotten here to begin with.
