    Bernie for all his talk does nothing except tell people to vote Democrat. If he had any intention of creating a new party he would’ve done it years ago. Now don’t get me wrong he does great work, but don’t count on him to lead American progressives to glory.

      He doesn’t though… He’s still an independent

      On November first, 2024, what do you say? Vote blue no matter who, don’t let the fascists win.

      On November 12th, 2024, what do you say? The Democrats are dickless fucks who handed the country to a fascist to court the billionaires

      What do you think Bernie said? And when? What is he saying now?

        Yeah, and? He still doesn’t call for effective (or even ineffective) resistance.

        On November 12th, 2024, what do you say? The Democrats are dickless fucks who handed the country to a fascist to court the billionaires

        Did he say that? If he did that’ll improve my opinion of him somewhat.

      You contradicted yourself there. Clearly Bernie does many things, so … can you try that opening sentence again?

        I thought my intention was clear from context, but here goes: He does great work as a legislator, but as a politician who’s supposed to be resisting the oligarchy (say, in his rallies) he only tells people to vote for progressive (usually democrat) candidates, if even that. If you have an example of Bernie calling for direct action, organizing a protest or similar please link it.
