I loved Bernie in 2016 and 2020, Bernie and M4A were big reasons I moved leftward, but I’m disappointed by how big of a tankie Bernie has been about Israel. His far left online supporters have infected his brain with fascist ideas like having news coverage unfairly report how many Palestinians have died. I first got hints of his redfash Marxism when he wanted to abandoned the women of Afghanistan by saying the US should end the forever war, but forever war = forever equal rights.

Anybody else taken back by how far left Bernie is on Foreign policy? I’m kinda glad he lost now ngl

    In hindsight, Hillary would have been the accelerationist candidate. It’s a historical fluke that Trump called off the first strike on Iranian soil; which would have almost certainly resulted in a much wider war.

    Which is wild because Trump was openly talking about how the US should invade Libya and Iraq and occupy the oil fields during the primary.
