Tad late after sheepdogging the entire Democratic base to vote for her.
Durr nobody should advocate for harm reduction durrrrrrrrr
Is that what most of us have been doing?
Sure, exactly what Bernie was doing. So like, we agree then that Bernie was correct to endorse Harris even if she became kind of a shit sandwich along the way.
Unlike this guy, who I guess would rather have Bernie tell his supporters to vote for Trump? Not endorse? It’s unclear because their position is so mindless, which is why I replied what I did.
No doubt about it…
You mean when she changed her tune mid stride and went centrist?
Centrist? She campaigned with Cheney. That’s right wing.
She was at the center between fascism and conservatism.
She did that in 2020…
There was only a very very brief window she pretended to be slightly progressive, but it was an act everyone saw thru, and the dumbasses that were running the party till this year just threw her with Biden because they legitimately thought Black woman equals progressive vote.
Everyone held their noses for Biden because he was the only option, so they just tried to double down on it. It’s what happens when a party is corrupt, the people who rise to the top are the ones willing to do anything for donations, because that was the sole metric the old guard cared about.
If you could raise money for their shitty candidate, you got promoted. So we ended up with over a billion dollar campaign that was almost certainly a grift and a complete waste of money from state parties that handed trump the House.
Now, all that being said…
The voting members of the DNC did finally wake up and elected a chair who wouldn’t fight against the party’s own base. Martin ran Minnesota for a decade, made it solid blue, and home to some of our most progressive politicians and highschool football coach Tim Walz as governor.
If he’s a neoliberal bought off by billionaires and AIPAC, then he’s absolute dog shit at stopping progressives in primaries, and it’s completely illogical that he kept supporting them in the general.
We got an equal playing field for the first time since the 90s.
We just need to get people to show up in the primary. We can’t fucking waste this chance.
There were ~6 more progressive candidates and she did horribly. She saw the money on the other side and thought, “fuck it.”
Hopefully the playing field stays intact
The sky will be blue
can I have an article also?
The sky’s green, idiot. I shit myself. Can I be president now?
Green skies are when I start to get nervous.
Sorry, too literate.

Can I be president now?
Not enough irrelevant tangents.
@grok, is this true?
Are we reddit now, posting USA Today articles like they’re a proper news source? This is /r/news behavior. Might as well start linking New York Post articles, too.

Are we reddit now
Pretty much. Have you gone on Reddit? It’s literally the same posts as Lemmy. We’re a filtered version that isn’t controlled by a corporation but almost all the content here still comes directly from Reddit
Thanks for doing the leg work. USA Today is slop.
@return2ozma@lemmy.world appears to either be a bot or a newly minted user from Reddit. They’re even using their Reddit Snoo as their avatar. I might just block them to avoid this idiotic content. They’re posting lots of the same.
Been here since the Reddit API exodus. Same username on Reddit. Nearly 2 million karma when I left.
So I’ve been informed by like 5 others. I apologize.
No apology needed. Enjoy Lemmy
They joined 2 years ago with a posting history to match. And they’re a frequent enough user that I recognise their name.
They appear to be neither of those things you’ve described.
They’re a well-known, prolific, old account. They’re not a bot nor new.
Ain’t good content, though. Woof.
Just because the account is old isn’t reason to believe they aren’t entirely a bad actor.
Never liked them but try to be civil.
I might just block them to avoid this idiotic content.
Ironic on your end there.
Bruh return2ozma has been here forever, def not newly minted. There have been memes referencing their posting habits
There’s memes of me? Hah! Link them I’d like to see them. I know I’m controversial here but it’s just the Internet. Gotta have a tough skin.
News to me. Been on Lemmy for two+ years, but migrated off of World because of the mods.
This is some actual bot behavior
Sanders, shut the fuck up and step aside.
He’s consistently not stepped aside for a long time because of his principles I implore you to seek something similar–common cussedness will take you further than a comanche’s pony
votes to bomb yugoslavia
is pro occupation regime of west palestinesome nice principles lol
I implore you to stop politician worship. He is not above filthy backstabbing. He gave support during the campaign and now he’s showering criticism. It’s not principles, it’s politics. Always has been.
Does this mean Bernie was also influenced when he backed her or is that different?
Did you expect him to back Trump???
Not really, but also expectations seem unrelated
Yup. Bernie is the lightning rod meant to embrace, extend and extinguish any leftist movement.
Bernie is pointing out one of the major flaws of the Democratic Party and he is way ahead of his time in regard to US politics. Can you imagine if the USA would look at itself like Norway.
An oil producing enthostate governed by a neoliberal plutocracy?
I think we already tried that under Bush, Obama, and Biden.
I wonder if the French were busy infighting when Hitler showed up
Bērnard Sandeaux: Le Maginot line will not hold! We need a better strategy!
You: Good job helping the Germans, traitor
The Germans certainly were
Name one mainstream party in the current day world that isn’t being influenced by billionaires or their country-specific equivalents (if the country has no billionaires for instance)
Greens in Australia do not take donations from corporations or property developers.
https://greens.org.au/campaigns/dirty-donations
They are the third largest party and hold balance of power in the Senate.
Some green parties considering all of their policies are conflicts of interests with billionaires?
They still heavily compromise, only targeting very specific sectors.
Besides, billionaires aren’t a monolith - they also have differing interests. Someone might have a heavy stake in solar power for instance and no stake in oil, in which case they’d support greens.
Mario Party
Bowser (evil billionaire who owns multiple castles) has paid Nintendo big bucks to make games about him and include him into Mario Party.
Sorry but this is true
Daamn. Also, did you know, Hilary Clinton was using private email server, and sometimes she used it to talk to her official stuff. I bet that’s also very important.
But he was too. Not too long ago he was pro Israel because of his sponsors.
No for bernie it’s ideological
…. She would have been another bandaid. Just like Biden was. Out of everything that’s happening right now, why is this making the news?
This is the liberal media distraction from the Trump Epstein files. It gives us anything to read about that isn’t one of the 4 major dictators. Xi, Putin, Trump, or Netanyahu. Also allows the liberals to further balkanize into even smaller groups.
Now we’re just gonna bleed to death.
Yeah no shit
Bernie is correct as per usual.
If only being correct has value with society at large…
Maybe he should start a podcast. Seemed to have worked for the right.
