Bernie Sander to the Mainstream media: "go to Gaza, and take your camera show us the emaciated children who are dying from malnutrition because of Netanyahu's policies."
Bernie has massive balls here and he's jewish himself. Call them like they are, Bernie! We should've had you in 2016 and 2020!
Fuck that, he was silent while the actual journalists reporting in Gaza were slaughtered
Your name is Ivan, isn't it?
Buddy, lemme tell you something, if you know anything about politicians and how they get their news. It's a lot slower than you realize.
Biden knows what's going on ahead of time because his attention is there. Bernie might've been getting this as hand-down info for all we know. Plus, he's probably gathering up quite a stockpile of claims backed by facts to use against Israel.
You don't think, do you? Idiot.
Shut up Boris
?????????????
They won’t, because they know if they do Israel will bomb them like they do other journalists and aid workers.
I'm pretty sure they actually can't at all. Israel bars foreign journalists from entering Gaza.
Traditional move of someone completely innocent and not trying to hide anything
Also they'll find Hamas selling aid that's suppose to be given away for free and starving people intentionally to keep it's coffers full....
Damn shame Bernie is not younger, because he would stomp on all the candidates and especially Putin's Fucking Sock Puppet.
It was never in the cards, sorry to say. To be leftist means to grow stronger every time you lose. The Democratic Party would rather lose to Trump than win with a scary socialist.
Are you sure the majority of voters (plus the weird intermediate system) would vote for him?
In 2016, toward the end of the lead up to the primaries, Bernie polled higher than HRC when they were each given as an option to oppose Trump. I was in rural New York at the time and it was surprising to see so many Bernie signs. Somehow, he was able to reach blue collar America where other, recent Democrats have lost ground.
As a populist, Bernie was a stronger candidate against the other "populist" (Trump) than the institution candidate (HRC). Naturally, the DNC would rather lose against a wannabe-dictator than back someone who doesn't swallow their entire load.
If Hillary didn't want to get payback on bill, and get an oval-office-closet-job from an intern so bad, Bernie would have had a much better chance.
Disclaimer: This is a joke on the internet.
No. America has been well conditioned and will not admit reality until unchecked greed inevitably collapses the global economy, again.
I'm pretty sure they would.
Biden fucking sucks. Only genocidal racists and corporate facists still support him.
Trumps beyond a fucking criminal, and in a hypothetical head to head, probably worse.
Bernie is the only other American politician of the previous decade who has been competitive at a national level, and enjoys widespread popularity. Democratic apologists will have you forget the rat-fucking, but not everyone is blind.
Bernie could actually win.
I don't think Leftists would. All it takes is one hint of anything not 100% in alignment with whatever that individual Leftist believes, and they'll drop support.
Are you nuts bro did you not see what Israel does to journalists
did you not see what Israel does to journalists
and aid workers, but I believe that is the point
Why are we linking to Reddit?!
With how Israel has been killing journalists, this is not going to happen. Those mainstream media, that support Israel, know well enough what is happening. It's not like they actually believe their own lies.
Israel also arrests almost as many journalists as their enemy Iran. They might be enemies, but their fascist ideology is the exact same.
he's a smart guy so he's aware that no one will do this.
i used to like bernie but i'm learning that he likes to talk the talk, but doesn't walk the walk (atleast not anymore). i regret donating to him, but part of me feels good that i did because it means that i can be just as clueless and mis/ill-informed as the people who support biden or trump.
Thank you Bernie for speaking the goddamn truth.
Mainstream media: "We would but we cut our foreign correspondent budget to pad our profit margins"
Next round of layoffs is going to get unconventional….
You spelled Sanders wrong. It's in the headline, how do you even do that? And why are you posting reddit links here?
It's weird to me how posts can get tons of upvotes, but yet a comment criticizing the post gets a lot more upvotes then downvotes.
Bernie appropriately giving the anti genocide slogan to throw at media everywhere.
"Go to gaza" "Point your cameras at the children Netanyahu is killing and ask them if they condemn hamas."
"our audience don't want to see that. They just want to know who Tay-tay fuckin'."
Netanyahu's policies are Judaism, right?
/s
Why would for-profit media companies do something like that? It's dangerous, expensive and brings in less money than clickbait about celebrities.
Is IDF even letting foreign journalists into Gaza right now?
The media will never do that.
Just run Bernie. Biden has blown it and doesn't have a shot any longer. Only you can do this.
He's probably better as an ideological leader than Commander-in-Chief at this point; the movement that he had needs to coalesce again instead of staying at home. That's the nascent true left that hasn't existed in the United States since FDRs New Deal.
Yeah while I’d be all about that, that’s not actually a thing that will happen. So.
Too late Bernie, we've seen you sit on the sidelines in silence like the rest of the DNC while Palestinians got slaughtered. His silence and refusal to call it out made him complicit.
Let us be clear: The Palestinian people today are experiencing nothing less than a humanitarian disaster. Thousands are already dead, including many children, and more are wounded. Hundreds of thousands have been forced out of their homes. These people, deeply impoverished before this war, now lack food, water, fuel, shelter, medicine, and other basic necessities. Unbelievably, more than 400,000 Palestinians, driven from their homes, are now sheltering in densely crowded U.N.-run schools. Dozens of medical facilities have been damaged, and 35 U.N. aid workers have been killed. The aid trickling into Gaza is just a fraction of what is needed. In a few days, hospitals will run out of fuel, and ventilators and incubators will shut off. This is a desperate, desperate situation. I echo Secretary Blinken’s call for the immediate release of all hostages. He also called for the consideration of a humanitarian pause by all parties. To my mind, a pause is essential for the protection of civilians as required by the laws of war, as well as for the provision of robust supplies of food, water, and medical aid to address the growing humanitarian catastrophe.
-Sanders, Oct 25th on the Senate floor
I thought about digging up the video of Bernie vigorously complaining about aid for Israel without any improvement in their behavior from the 1980s. But I feel like I've sent it to you before along with some others, the last time you raised this totally bizarre argument.
But something even more fundamental occurred to me
You're saying that Bernie Sanders is in lock step with the DNC?
Bernie Sanders?
DNC?
You, uh...
Are you under the impression Bernie Sanders is a Democrat?
Bro, the only comment you've made on this account that has more upvotes than downvotes is one that you deleted. I think it's safe to say that the inverse of whatever you say is true. Let's try it out.
"Just in time Bernie; we've seen you active in the forefront protesting unlike the rest of the DNC while Palestinians got slaughtered. His agitation and willingness to call it out made him a leader."
Yeah, sounds about right.
I think you're right that Bernie was late. He has been criticized for decades for being weak on Palestine. He wouldnt say the word "ceasefire" until the Democratic Party gave him permission.
But please look at the bigger picture. The movement for Palestinian liberation needs numbers and we need solidarity. Bernie may be "late" but hes on the right side of history. Everyone who joins the movement today is "late" but we can't afford to turn them away.
And let's be honest, Bernie is the best Senator of our lifetimes (so far). No other Senator is giving such powerful pro-Palestinian speeches. The Senate floor would be so much darker and more evil without this one man's voice.
