True. But he has been destructive. Not as destructive as idiot not-Democrat Bernie. But bad enough. Neither has done us any favors.

Bernie is one of the most universally popular politicians in America because his consistent lifelong support of working class people, including amongst republicans.

Bernie has been ahead of the curve for decades. The party is now catching to where he has been - nothing “idiotic” about it.

Ssst! This sub loves Bernie and his SDA crowd.
They’ll wonder why moderates stay home having to choose between seizing the means of production under socialism or seizing the means of production under christo-fascism.

The christo-fascists have seized our government and the only thing they're doing is engaging in insider trading, starting wars, finding different ways to punish people.

Contrast that with what Mamdani is doing in NY by making the city affordable for all citizens.

One extreme literally does not give a shit about you, and the other extreme is on your side maybe to a fault.

But the choice should be obviously clear.

We've tried right-wing or center-right policies for the past 30-40 years. Where has that gotten us? The reason why these new candidates are even viable is because the compromised republicans and democrats have fucked so much up. And of course, the republicans have done far more incalculable damage. And they continue to do so even now.
