calling antisemitism “a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to many millions of people”.
“But, please, do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government. Do not use antisemitism to deflect attention from the criminal indictment you are facing in the Israeli courts. It is not antisemitic to hold you accountable for your actions,”
Sadly a very common and favorite strategy of genocidal autocratic regimes across the world.
It is always in the favor of states to not only claim to support their people, and even represent them, but to encapsulate their identity. Authoritarian after authoritarian has learned this.
Criticize the CCP , you’re a sinophobe. Criticize the Iranian or Saudi governmenta and you are demonstrating Islamophobia and antiarabic prejudice. Now with Israel. Plenty have done and it damn works, that’s the worst part.
Yes. Exactly.
Bernie Sanders video message to Netanyahu: https://youtu.be/vzhdPsCgrjU
Bernie is the model of what a politician should be. And about the only one left in the USA that gives a fuck about actual justice and truth.
He’s not a part of both sides.
Fuck everyone who voted for joe and hillary in the primaries.

He was a sheepdog who’s job was to keep disenfranchised voters rounded up in the party with illusions of having a seat at the table.
I like Sanders because he isn’t just another d/r. He speaks his mind, and I believe he believes in what he says. I would vote for him out of principle.
That said, his ideas are idiotic for the most part, and he has no clue how the economy works.If elected the country would quickly become a wasteland if his ideas were implemented but I would feel decent voting for him at least.
Oh look, the taxes are theft guy (who will vote for Trump) is here to say how little someone else knows about economics.
I’m sure all that wealth will start to trickle down any minute now though.
Funny, I don’t remember ever saying taxes are theft by default. What I have said is the tax system should be fair.
Bernie has suggested this, such as taxing wealth, which is unconstitutional. He didn’t propose an amendment; he just wanted to tax wealth. He didn’t even realize that it was against the Constitution. He also said it’s unfair that Elon didn’t pay more in income tax when he made a dollar that year. He couldn’t even be bothered to look up Elon’s income.
He says things so his plebes will clap without realizing it isn’t an intelligent or viable solution.
What I have said is the tax system should be fair.
By reducing the amount that the people who benefit most (by orders of magnitude) from our society pay into it. Yeah. That sure sounds fair to me.
What an intelligent and viable solution!
I have never suggested that. Nice Strawman you built there!
You say that all the time.
Nice lie.
The rich already pay more than their fair taxes. If you have a cite to show otherwise, I would love to see it.

As this chart shows, The top 1% pay 40% of all taxes but only bring in 20% of the income. That is paying their fair share.
The top 5% pay 20% of the taxes but only bring in 15% of the income.
So yes, I deserve a tax cut, and most likely, you deserve a tax increase.
and he has no clue how the economy works
That’s the thing. He knows how the economy ‘works’, it’s just that it works for the ruling class and not for everyone else.
Guess what? The only way to reduce the disparity in wealth is to reduce the disparity in wealth. This means those who have too much will get angry because they have less so others can have more.
No, Bernie has shown time and time again that he doesn’t understand how anything works.

Can you find anyone that says Bernie understands economics?
Sorry, I’ve already replied to you explaining basic economics.
You’re the one who doesn’t understand, and linking sensationalist blogs doesn’t help your credibility one iota.
You didn’t cite anything. When called out, you make a personal attack?
we really failed america by not voting for this guy
Dad
Israel is pretty much Bernie’s worst position, and he still one of the best senators on the issue. His worst take is still the best take around.
Still refusing to call it a genocide.
I mean, he did one better. He defined genocide in describing the explicit war crimes of Israel. I think it’s a little unreasonable to be angry that he didn’t use the term when he outright stated that Israel killed and injured 100,000, 70% of which are women and children, rendered a million people homeless and created famine conditions.
I’d be more upset if he just said “genocide” and didn’t clarify the rest like he did.
