Ya, brilliant idea. Lets neuter our defense.
I swear Did the democrats learn anything from 2024?
When Iran and N.Korea and China Threaten the U.S it'll be
fine. At least we'll have affordable housing when one of them
just feels like doing some shit.
Leftism is a cancer on the Dem party.
Actually, that’s you who is the stain on the Democratic Party. We don’t even have a true leftist movement in America. If they were leftist, they would be talking about workers, seizing the means of production, not just “maybe people shouldn’t go bankrupt for medical debt.“
lol what a predictable response from a leftist.
You want to live like a european. Go to europe.
marxism is an idiotic idea that would never fly.
You people talk a big game, but people like you too afraid of being around guns to even think of "Seizing production".
Also 60% of white mean and 41% of hispanic voters do not want anything close to marxism. Which again, are the biggest voting blocks.
So fuck off with the rhetoric.
Get a grasp of the real world.
Bro you're actually legitimately stupid.
White people make up 56% of the U.S population.
Hispanics 35%.
You're literally a European ethnic foreigner telling a brown dude about the "real world"
You just proved yourself wrong. We don’t have leftists in this country. We have centrists and we have far right Christian nationalists.
Bernie is a reasonable centrist.
American leftism exist relative to the Foundation of the American system.
Again Comparing Europeans to America and saying "well actually no one is to the left" is moronic.
Scandinavians are More "left" than europe. Does that mean
Europe doesn't actually have "leftists".
You people are mindless.
You only have to look to the 60s to find American Republicans to the left of Pelosi.
And Reagan provided amnesty to millions of undocumented immigrants.
The Overton window has shift far, far right in this country.
Instead of Spending 1 Trillion a Year On Military = Lets Build A New Begining = #1 = Nato = No more Bombing and End The balfour Declaration - subpart ` Move to Include Every country in
Disaster relief efforts For ALL Countries / Islands and What e ver else is needed = Building out EVERYONES Communities - Building schools and Health care centers Everywhere - for you have to go to A school To learn how to be A Doctor - See
No More wars becuase we are to Busy Looking after each Other = All countries - Not just Europe !!! = All countries Being Taken care of because WE share equaly - When One Consumes Too much = Another goes Without = Even in $
You DONT Need it = Nor Do we NEED Someones Permission to Feed ourselves = ARE YOU NOT AN Individual ? Do You NOT BACK DOWN FROM ANYTHING ? = EVEN DEATH - ?
seriously because I have A Bunch of Friends that really wanna Know
Bernie is right but his dream is all but fiction without men/women of resolve to see it through. Join the American Liberation Front army & help us fight for a better tomorrow. Not with words but with weapons will we win our freedom from these Nazi oppressors. Your next if not stopped soon.
What a great President Bernie would have been. But decades of "socialist" fear-mongering by the GOP had its effect. Joe McCarthy was eventually disgraced, but the seeds of the red scare took root and flourish until this day.
Great pipe dream, but it ain't gonna happen within the next four or more years. Not under this Fascist government, other any other Fascist government in the future.
It's so strange to hear BS talk as if those things are even on the table while DOGE is dismantling the govt, Trump is defying the courts & destroying the economy, Hegseth et al are erasing mention of women & minorities in academies/govt websites and regulations & science are being undone.
The Anti-Oligarchy tour would have worked before the election. Right now, it sounds tone deaf as fascism is taking hold and people are being disappeared without due process. Women are losing even more rights and our right to vote has just been endangered by the SAVE act.
We can cut the military's budget in half and still be the force to reckon with.
How many aircraft carriers do we need how many airplanes do we really need?
I understand being prepared but it really seem excessive the money we spend on the military.
Cut their budget in half!!
Blue states don’t understand what it’s like in red and purple states. We’re fighting for our lives. Nothing against Bernie but he wouldn’t have won. We also need progressives to vote with us just as we’d vote with them if it was their candidate. We’re on the same team. Protest voting helps repubs.
Which he would have been had the Dems not come in and ousted him for Biden. We were the closest we were ever going to be to a President that would have affected true change, but he was too dangerous to the status quo who need fear-mongering to continuing making their fortunes.
In the 2020 California Primary, Bernie got 31% and Joe Biden got 12% of the votes. We're the biggest blue state but that wasn't a warning in their world...Obama asked Bernie to step down anyhow and here we are.
America and the world world be very different, and likely much better, place, since I can’t imagine him losing to Trump in the general election. He’s too squeaky clean for October surprise to have worked.
I’m fine with my tax dollars supporting our military to stay in business. Whatever expenses they say they need should be gone through on a case by case basis.
Our military policing the world is actually making other countries neglect their militaries (weakening them) and since we’re playing hall monitor, most of our spending goes to that shit instead of supporting the infrastructure we have here. It’s why Japan looks 80 years in the future compared to us.
Here in Massachusetts, the actual cost (land cost and actual construction costs) to build a unit of housing (say in a multifamily apartment building) is roughly $400,000. To keep the cost to buy or rent such a unit at an affordable price, you also need need an rental or purchase price subsidy
Pundits claim to understand political and economic trends. However, no expert addresses what mentally drives the president's decision-making.
His unstable state of mind disrupts the country, yet this topic remains taboo.
Media: roll back the Goldwater Rule and invite psychiatrists
I appreciate what they're saying but in the midst of this war between the Supreme Court and the executive, it seems the only tool we have is general strike.
Did this rally bring home the innocent people from El Salvador....No? Didn't think so.. Absolutely nothing is or can be done... Having get together is not the answer.
Yes, I’d like concrete suggestions, aside from voicing concerns to legislators, voting in every single election, running for local offices for those who are qualified, staying educated, standing up for people when injustice against them is observed.
Au contraire……Sanders’ message is increasingly resonant as social infrastructure programs are deemed “entitlements” while the actual entitlement is a presumptive fucking tax cut for the billionaires.
Leaving the elderly and disabled without social security is downright fucking evil.
In reality, playing items like the funding of military against the funding of home building ends with losing voters most times.
The items are interchangeable, the results not.
Don't shoot me, I'm only the messenger and had seen this multiple times before. One at a time.
Ok. We spend WAY too much on defense. OK, not excited that trump is in command of that military. But if we get rid of trump, it'd still be a bad idea to unilaterally de-militarize. Thing is, we CAN have a strong military AND build housing too. But we shouldn't be naive about the world.
Uh... I want to be safe like we once were. The military budget may be bloated and we could use some of those funds for the housing crisis. As I see it, the bulk of the money cannot be taken from military.
Sisyphus would like a word. 😆

#enuf ❗️ 🙏🏻 🤬
You know what? We could afford to do both.. AND still have a public health infrastructure.. if billionaires like Elon Musk and Bill Ackman paid their fair share.
It’s the Coachella weekend lol. Also Los Angeles is 500 square miles and not a lot of it is connected with public transportation - it’s actually pretty amazing to have that many people in one place.
I was at the women's march 2017. Hundreds of thousands showed. We're currently at a standstill without major organizers of that magnitude. I'm beginning to understand how much people rode off the backs of women & BLM.
That was a march through miles of streets protesting Trump. This is a rally in a park to educate people on oligarchs. And California voted almost 60% for Harris Trump 38%, I doubt a lot of people feel the need for the education - the majority of us knew and voted accordingly.
Why not make Trump, Musk, MTG and everyone else from the WH "inner circle" who made huge profits from insider trading and every other shady 'deal' pay for that. Since they have also stolen money from Americans they should and will pay for it. Also make them pay back the rest of the money they stole
You can do whatever you want. You can't force secularism on religious people anymore. We have to have separate societies. Don't force secularism on religious people. We worship Jesus
Muslims are bro tier. Muslims respect Jesus and Mary. Praise be to Jesus and Mary. We love other religions. The problem is people who mock organized religion
When I didn't have enough money to indulge I worked harder and made more money. If we tax the rich we would have enough Revenue to do both, National Security and care for us all. Defense money supports a lot of research that benefits us all. DOD developed the MRI, as an example
Does he want a troop drawdown? More unemployment, yay! Does he want to close bases so the towns they are in die? Very easy to message to the military…we will work to get your pay raised and we’ll protect you and your families medical care, but instead we get this shit.
"Instead of spending $1 trillion a year on the military, let’s build 5 million units of low-income and affordable housing"... For Veterans? Leave No Man Behind, Till He gets Home, then Kick him to the Kerb, But, "Thank you For Your Sacrifice?" "Just Move On!"
Sure, but it opens up the option. It's like me not buying a new car so I can remodel my house. I didn't spend the money one place with the intent of spending it another.
If we could do something about the White collar crime and obscene income of CEOs and akin, that would hopefully rebound the middle class and lessen the homeless issue!
Aug 3, 2024 @sanders.senate.gov: "Thank you, Minneapolis. Great turnout. Let’s re-elect Ilhan Omar. Let’s defeat Trump and 👉🏽 elect Kamala Harris. 👈🏽 Let’s take on corporate greed and create an economy that works for all Americans." https://x.com/BernieSanders/status/1819807018720583820 Source
rogue elements are now running the country, with no one to stop them.
it’s only a matter of time before a colossal failure or a major act of terrorism exposes the incompetence of this so-called government. Whatever happens, it will undoubtedly go down in history as a catastrophic moment!
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed… We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people…“ Eisenhower 1953
Exactly. I'm lucky my spouse and I were able to get out of the rental rat race many years ago. Back when you could get a first-time homeowner deal. In 1989 we put 5% down on a nice old house that cost $60,000. So that was only $3,000.
This is a proposition that emphasizes people's livelihood and downplays armaments, focusing on the lives of ordinary people rather than war preparations. Supporters will feel that this is a return to basic livelihood, while opponents may worry that national security will be affected.
It will look definitely be affected. They want to lower requirements for enlisting in the military period. Military will be weak in requirements. What does an apple have to do with an orange on this thinking. Unrealistic.
The comments on this post is why we have trump. We needed to ban together. If Bernie was the candidate I would have voted for him. I voted for Harris and Clinton. That’s where Dems get it wrong. They divide their vote and republicans win. Repubs stand together no matter who their candidate is.
Rest assured that if Bernard somehow managed to be a candidate, we know the assignment.
That's where you lot get it wrong if "your" preferred candidate didn't win the primaries, you tell your followers to "hold their votes" and "teach Dems a lesson".
We have Trump because folks assumed that, because he didn't destroy the country last time, it wasn't worth standing in a voting line to deny him a second attempt.
So when Bernie and AOC say "Fight Oligarchy" they don't mean Russian Oligarchy, who AOC voted with MTG to protect by the way. Explain why they are against Rich Oligarchs in the US but for protecting Rich Russian Oligarchs assets https://www.aol.com/aoc-defends-lonely-vote-against-192640154.html
Yeah because in WW3 if you don't have a military the Axis of Evil who's main goal is to beat you will leave you alone right?
This is why I'll never vote Progressive in a primary - they're also Russian assets and focus of propaganda. We'd be defenseless if it were up to them and Russia would rule
AOC and Bernie are still Putin's plan B
Don't fund the Military in WW3, don't fund our allies, just let Russia Iran China North Korea whoever take over and let the world go to hell. That's why AOC voted against seizing Russian Oligarch Assets. America got to be rich promising defense.
Heart skipped a beat today--a letter from the U.S. Dept of Justice. First thought was they're coming after activists for sedition (am a peacekeeper). What it says is am a potential victim of fictitious fundraising, for the GOP, by a Jason Pallante. No way that happened. Anyone else get this letter?
Here's a thought -- rather than begging the GOP to do something they don't want to do AND sacrificing something they very much want to do, let's address these as two separate issues, and focus more energy on the one that actively makes progress. But no more of this "Or Bust" shit that helps no one.
He wouldn’t have. I’m not sure where you live but red states hate him worse than Clinton or Harris. “He’s a socialist.” It’s been blasted on right wing media for years. Same for AOC. They didn’t have a chance because of that. I take it you protest voted or did you vote for Hillary and Harris?
Be careful, Bernie. Politicians are supposed to talk around problems, not propose practicable solutions.
Plus, we have the world's most significant military expenditures (more than the next 10 countries combined) to deter bad actors from invading neighboring countries.
Plenty of countries have the same financial issues as the USA over spending and borrowing to sustain that.A reality check is needed but cityzens don't want to hear it and keep blaming the leadership they elect.
“By one estimate, simply collecting unpaid federal income taxes from the top 1 percent of households would bring in some $175 billion a year. We could just about fill the entire poverty gap in America if the richest among us simply paid all the taxes they owed.” -Matthew Desmond, Poverty by America
We wouldn't need to spend gov money building it if the gov would just deregulate and give people the freedom to build what they need. Affordability and homelessness is 95% caused by NIMBY overregulation. Just get out of the way and let people build.
It's the same old Marxist stchick that he used to keep HRC from the presidentcy so we could have Trump. The far left wants to tear it all down just like the Reprobates do. No surprise he's using a national emergency for his rebranding tour. This time around, his hood ornament is AOC instead of Nina.
I'm not interested in a goddamn thing that schmuck has to say, except maybe I think I'd very much like to hear St. Bernard finally #ExplainTadDevine Real Democrats don't forget shit.
He has so many bad connections and ppl just eat up his bs. And the forever thinking Bernie would have been President, let alone a good President is insanity. Drives me crazy. AOC is exactly the same. Blind leading the blind.
I keep saying this and I feel like nobody listens:
When you cut the military budget, the first thing the military cuts is quality-of-life things for servicemembers, such as privatizing our base housing (which was an unmitigated disaster).
Cut the funding to the military-industrial complex.
Too many billionaires would have to go without becoming wealthier for affordable housing to be an issue with these people. They don't give a damn about others, let alone those struggling to pay bills and eat. If people don't have money they do not exist.
Some of my home health clients that live in gov’t housing & HUD requires they pay 30% of their income.
Look for that to change. Even for those below poverty level seniors surviving on $1,000-$1,200 soc sec.
HUD has fired 50% of their staff & closed the dept dealing with discrimination.
I’ve had sev offers from specialists that need a RN in the office, but I don’t want to leave bc someone has to fight for them. We had meetings last wk about what’ll happen to these ppl, what’ll happen to the rural doc offices & hospitals if Medicaid & SNAP are cut. I’ll be out of a job too.
I am thinking about the people I know who are on home health and my friends that work for them. OMG! I had people I took care of who couldn't walk! Completely dependent upon their nurses and aides. And, that was almost 30 years ago. OMG!
Somebody has got to do something now.
He maintains a disproportionately large responsibility for why we are here.
The Google box does suggest that HUD spends on avg 232k to build a single affordable housing unit. So he is range bound there. But at this rate we will need way more that 5m and the price to construct will probably double.

Lenin is amazingly relevant 100 years after his untimely death. This is a reminder of what he said don't trust the liberals they will betray you. Bernie aoc&all neoliberals in office in both political parties democrat&republican uniparty work against us Keep us passive&weak
I’d argue that he’s actually going around the country and speaking out against Trump’s policies while the rest of the party keeps quiet instead of doing something.
That’s what I’ve seen though 🤷♂️
The worthless blowhard won’t pass a law though. Talk is cheap. He should be replaced in Congress with someone who actually does something besides hawk books.
This is a documented fact. Bernie alienates natural allies and has zero skills when it comes to building majority coalitions to get things passed. When he ran for President, only ONE of all his coworkers in Congress over the years supported him. He's literally a bad politician by every definition.
Newbie Lauren Underwood got laws passed. So did Joe Neguse. Sanders has been in government for decades and has zero legacy. He’s just lining his pockets. Worthless blowhard
Schumer saved our asses by keeping the government and courts open instead of letting it shut down forever like Qelon wanted. And took a lot of heat for it. Sanders is making bank off his latest book, bloviating, and being worthless in Congress as usual
Did you vote for a governing Dem majority?
Congress is controlled by GOP, so no Congress can not do this.
Learn who controls committees and agenda.
Bern seems to have broken the brains of many, elections have consequences.
#MathKills
Am I misreading this or are you taking this as me being a trump supporter? To be super clear, I am pro-Bernie and would have voted for him given the option. I'm not in the US but would have voted down in every presidential election in my life.
Only Dems want to, we don't have the votes and he is out there working against getting those votes, no it is not a choice, learn who controls those votes at this moment, no way are you this simple, he thinks you are!!!
This makes me so mad. Can we PLEASE get a competent opposition to Trump? The "no military" guy is insane. John Lennon was an idealist. Its beautiful to think about but not practical. Why are there no competent leaders in America!? Can we borrow someone from another country?
My Point being, now is not the time to pull funding. We should be scaling up our manufacturing of artillery and missiles. It's coming whether we like it or not.
I’m pretty sure they have enough money already. We account for 40% of military spending world wide already. It’s part of the reason the 32 other developed nations have national healthcare and we’re the only country that does not.
You’re delusional if you think it’s going to be used for democracy instead of invading Greenland, Panama and Canada. If you’re an American male 18-25 get ready for the draft in the next few years. Trump’s invasion goals are going to take a lot of bodies.
Allotment is $200,000 per home build.
Not enough.
We must allocate unlimited resources to funding housing as priority for homeless families.
Currently 15,000 families in my city exist.
Not enough land.
So we are building upward.
4 stories up.
Urban upward growth.
Maintenance
require trust
And Done.
I would if I could.
I hold the voting rights over my reserves.
So get me access and we begin building low income & affordable housing nationwide.
I need to be appointed into my bank board.
Bancorp will not allow me to be on my board.
I own majority.
Which means board members loose.
I wanted to begin program with $7.5 trillion in funding to begin housing projects sold at 10% above cost to build.
Acquire projects same principle - remodel or build costs by volume. 10% profit.
Earnings reinvested back into program.
How I have built my holdings since 1973.
Reinvested back into more banks and repeatedly done again and again.
As of last count 99.68% of banks/bonds/government debt are upon every nation on Earth
Fear owing what can never repay
Truth is elusive, bitter, shuddering
USA owes $375 trillion total debt
All other nations owe $375 trillion
The government doesn't know how to build low income housing they've tried it several time. How about you get corporate buyers out of the housing market
How about the government tries building affordable housing that is not one apartment on top of another like the did with the projects in the 70’s ? Corporate purchasing should be illegal .
Bernie mutha f'ing Sanders. Always on the right and moral side of history. Big crowds, little crowds, big crowds again - doesn't matter. He spits truth now, same as he has been for over 40 years. @sanders.senate.gov
How was it Bernie's fault? Hillary laughed at $15 Minimum wage. Said it would never happen. Biden implemented so many things Bernie was talking about in 2016 that everyone said was "too radical" $35 insulin, get money out of politics. Kamala's campaign took so much from Bernie's, just 8 yrs later
So before you spout negativity toward the man that has been fighting for all of us for half a century, and is STILL fighting regardless of people hanging Hillary's loss around his neck, maybe do a little more research. What you are fighting for now ARE Bernie policies.
A budget is a reflection of a nation’s priorities. Our priority: to spend more on weapons than all our (former) allies combined while ignoring the needs of our people: healthcare, food, housing.
To quote Will McAvoy in HBO’s Newsoom: America is no longer the greatest country in the world anymore
I admire and respect Bernie Sanders. He would have made a great president. At his age, he is still fighting for all of us with fire in his belly. AOC could not have a better mentor. I wish them both the best of luck ♥️
REPUBLICANS: WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU TO STOP SWALLOWING PROPAGANDA FROM FOX ET AL? LOSS OF JOB, 401K? YOUR SS, MEDICARE/MEDICAID, SNAP? YOUR FREEDOM? UNAFFORDABLE FOOD, MEDICINE, PRODUCTS? INCOMPETENT TRUMP AND ENTIRE CABINET NEED TO BE REMOVED *NOW*. OTHERWISE OUR COUNTRY AND DEMOCRACY IS LOST.

30+ years in Congress and monopolize the democratic ticket in Vermont, to do WHAT?!?!
Sabotage a party and hold it hostage at every national election.
Fuck this noise.
The speeches he's giving about policy change? That's all from VP Harris campaign speeches, except he's missing the 25K for a first home.
Plus, we have the world's most significant military expenditures (more than the next 10 countries combined) to deter bad actors from invading neighboring countries.
We can't let that happen.
And HIMARS.
And Patriot missiles.
And Leopard 2 Tanks.
And F-16 fighters.
Point is, to defend is one thing. To liberate occupied territory requires a lot of hardware.
And I say this: Bernie is half right. We can afford BOTH things if we just Tax the wealthy properly.
When you cut the military budget, the first thing the military cuts is quality-of-life things for servicemembers, such as privatizing our base housing (which was an unmitigated disaster).
Cut the funding to the military-industrial complex.
Oh you don't have a plan and it's all just words?
You think you can regain control with a few cheesy signs and a crowd of people yelling shit you can't understand?

Look for that to change. Even for those below poverty level seniors surviving on $1,000-$1,200 soc sec.

The rest of the developed world spends less on defense, because we spend more.
Like it or not we used to be the arsenal of democracy. Hopefully that continues
Reminds me of MeeMaw in the 2020 primaries.
Like GTFO here with that weak shit. When Biden dropped out and Harris was the nom he said he had to think about it.
They will always defend that worthless mofo who doesn’t give two shits about women or Black ppl.
