The decent people of USA didn’t vote for this. We ALL knew Trump is in Putin’s pants. The magats like that he is and voted in favor of this. They hate ukraine and they are traitors to USA

After the shit show in the White House, I think it’s too late. Authoritarianism is already here. Trump made that perfectly clear when he voted with the access of evil.

Vermont is supposedly “progressive” yet they consistently elect geriatric white men for their Senators.

I find that peculiar.

junkhussy.bsky.social•1 day ago

When there’s a good white man willing to fight for ALL human rights consistently, and fervently, you elect them. Progressive doesnt mean anti-old white men, it means inclusivity, equity, longsightedness and character. That’s Bernie.

jackacid.bsky.social•1 day ago

What is “inclusive” about solely electing geriatric white men like Bernie?

junkhussy.bsky.social•1 day ago

Im all for flipping the switch but, if it aint broke and it’s still busting ass like few others are, why would you take issue?

When was the last time there was a mass boycott of the SOTU by congresspeople? Ever?

This will promote MASSIVE media coverage & steal 🍊💩’s thunder.

Reporting on the # of Americans joining town halls will send a HUGE message to other potential resistors.

No those days are not gone. They set the stage for the demise of our democracy, our free society, & this is simply a continuence of Bernie talking outta both sides of his mouth, a continuence from his 1st 'burn it all down' day, as he emerged from the Senate shadows, fully RU connected.

The thing is, that the GOP have chosen and elected their forever king. They don't want to ever again support democracy in the world or even in America. It is clear the choose personal wealth over democracy, freedom, justice, equality & the environment.

In hindsight, if he got the nomination in 2016 he would have beaten trump and we would have never been here.

susie2cue.bsky.social•1 day ago

I believe this is true. He had a groundswell of support from young people, and that would have only grown. Instead we opted for Hillary, who had so much baggage she was easier to combat.

rebelyell1.bsky.social•1 day ago

The country wanted a change from the same old same old and would have drawn votes away from trump.

My whole family was for Bernie...I know that's not popular to admit with the Hillary crowd but we voted for her when the time came...but if you listened to Bernie in 2015 he was talking this same talk and trying to train his followers to fight the Oligarchs and the Billionaires. he saw this coming.
