anyways

I've been seeing so many posts about "why can't leftists and liberals work together"

And it's this. It's literally this.

Its libs being a pissy that a guy who is one inch left of center and wants kids to have Healthcare and apparently this is the same as nazism

And then i had to wonder.

Why tf aren't dems supporting these bills?

Who tf isn't advancing bills to subsidize daycare??

And I've only become more pissed off and more left since then because lmao liberals won't stop acting like Republicans

phoenixcalida.bsky.social•3 days ago

And the wildest part is that Bernie isn't a fucking socialist

He's the most milquetoast one step of center leftist in a position of power and even he couldn't get dems to agree to feed hungry kids

Like

Lol lmao even

I'll make a thread if yall want it,

But hand to god most of Bernies failed bills are basic ass "feed the working class" ass attitude bills.

There was an article by Rolling Stone way back when that introduced me to and made me a fan of Bernie Sanders. It was written by Matt Taibbi before he became a Russian stooge and was still a pretty good journalist. He HAS ALWAYS been this way-- https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/inside-the-horror-show-that-is-congress-177955/

Bernie Sanders has always been trying to do good for people and they sure know that in Vermont. Like Wesley Snipes says in 'Blade', "Some motherfuckers always trying to ice skate up-hill." That's Bernie, god love him.

As a European observing what's going on in the states I'm agog when people accuse Dems of being socialists and Sanders of being a communist. They would be very much right wing capitalists here and Sanders pretty centrist.
Americans have no idea what a communist is which is ironic considering...

Propaganda really works!

Most American "communists" think Putin, a literal Czarist, is the saviour of Socialism 😭

"none of his bills became law which means he's bad at his job" no it means all his bills were good and the Senate is a bad institution full of people who are bad at their jobs (the job being, in theory, to pass good bills instead of bad bills)

mcduff.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well the worst thing is that the senate is full of people who are good at their jobs, but their job is not what you'd think it ought to be, but is more like "stop anything happening that might redistributethe wealth of the ruling class downwards."

At the end of the day, Bernie is still just a rich white cis-dude upholding and actively participating in an established system of oppression. The minute amounts of socialism he wanted to inject into said system were ok... but it's just polishing a turd.

agnosticnixie.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hell, if anything one of the main left critiques of Sanders is that he's too senate-brained which feels like basically the opposite

ph03nixwill0w.bsky.social•2 days ago

I stg if one more yt liberal tells me Bernie didn't stand a chance my head might explode.
