@RememberUsAlways Thank you. There needs to be a more moderate alternative to Ilhan Omar.

All the JD's are antisemites; some are just louder than others. The DSA, being communist in the Soviet mold, is necessarily antisemitic.

@kolev Thank you for asking that. Google doesn’t always provide helpful answers. @TruthSandwich @RememberUsAlways

@TruthSandwich Never heard of them. I probably don't want to become acquainted with them. It will just make me lose more faith in humanity. @AlliFlowers @RememberUsAlways

@TruthSandwich
Bernie endorsed Biden and will endorse Biden again, perhaps at the convention.

#Bernie is Jewish and is focused more on #Netanyahu as a fascist.

I can't disagree with Bernie on this narrative. Netanyahu is a brutal fascist and perfect for a war against Iran terrorist organizations like #Hamas, #Hezbollah and pirates from Yemen.

My only real question is what's with all these Iran terrorists groups starting with the letter "H".
Who are Yemen's #Houthis?

I certainly hope not.

Take the Russian economy for example.

Not working out well for BRICS currently and because of this failed launch, the money floods into the US from everywhere.

I prefer to distinguish between my hopes and what the evidence shows.

Ironically, I had a positive view of Bernie when he first showed up on the national scene, but he's proved my initial impression wrong time and time again.

@TruthSandwich

Bernie has a powerful chair on the Senate ways and means cmte. He has a unique role in history.

I'm ok with pushing the envelope from within.

I don't blame Bernie for Trump being elected in 2016. Hillary ran a terrible campaign.

@kolev @AlliFlowers

@TruthSandwich

2016 was a reflection of 8 years of the Obama administration.
People get tired of Democracy winning. The fascist blood still pumping in the US electorate is resistant to progress.

The winds were firmly set against Democrats in 2016. I'm not blaming Bernie because the US has a fascist problem.

@kolev @AlliFlowers

@TruthSandwich

I understand your position and perhaps there is correlation.

I'm not willing to place blame on Bernie. Your own chart shows many votes for Jill Stein.
Hillary also had to fight a massive Russian disinfo. Campaign on FB and Reddit.

@RememberUsAlways @kolev @AlliFlowers

Only because he Berned democracy to the ground in his quest to start the glorious communist revolution. He's an accelerationist.

@TruthSandwich

Ok but w/e you're view on Bernie, he has his finger on perhaps the most powerful budget cmte. In the Senate. The will only change if Republicans flip the Senate.

@TruthSandwich @AlliFlowers @RememberUsAlways I generally support most of those positions, I just disagree on Israel and Egypt. They just sound like regular Green politics.

@kolev @AlliFlowers @RememberUsAlways

You can't evaluate populism in terms of policy. Populism entails demagoguery, hence pandering.

It was like when Clinton ran on raising the minimum wage to $12 and Bernie outbid her with $15. It's easy to promise more, difficult to deliver, but populists only care about the former, never the latter.

And, of course, in the end, we didn't get any increase, because we needed to win more seats, not promise harder.
