Yes, movement of a mass at >1000ft/s.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Too bad you sheepdogged your mass movement back to the bog-standard neoliberal Democrats, not once but twice.

If it wasn't for Bernie I would have never gotten those post loss Harris fundraiser texts!

This man should be ASHAMED! REAL Americans let Rich People Murder us and DONT COMPLAIN!

Bernie doesn’t have the balls to do what needs to be done. The moment we actually start doing anything, he’s one of the first to tell us to get in line and obey.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

... he’s one of the first to tell us to get in line and obey.

exactly like he did for clinton in 2016 and again for biden in 2020; he even told us that biden is good for the palestinians.

I’m convinced he’s been blackmailed. When he was doing well in 2016, suddenly some scandal appeared that targeted his wife. As soon as he fell in line with the DNC, the scandal disappeared.

Which if you’re familiar with the Clinton strategies, that’s right in line with their MO.

Do you think Palestinians would be in a better spot today of Trump won in 2020?

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What a strange way to declare your support for genocide.

[–] SpacetimeMachine@lemmy.world -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lmao sure buddy. I totally just justified genocide there.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah. Completely outed yourself as someone who considers a Dem led genocide different than a GOP led genocide.

Moral people oppose them both equally.

[–] SpacetimeMachine@lemmy.world -2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I do oppose both. But a trump led one would have been far worse. Hell were sadly going to see that in these coming months. I think Bernie saying that Biden will be better for Palestinians is completely true. Which is what scares me.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

By what measure? A UN expert declared the genocide under Biden to be on track to wipe out Palestinians. What’s worse than that?

I love that y’all are burning so many of these accounts this week, trying to get us back on the red vs blue divide.

There's a few ways to beat rich executives, quite a few.

Indeed; there’s a veritable cornucopia of ammunition types that exist.

Half the country has been conditioned to believe that "government is the problem" and now the Republicans won the house, senate and presidency this election. A mass movement would have to overcome all of this Republican resistence, right wing media resistence and then convince moderate Dems to go farther with healthcare reform than what could be accomplished under Obama. We're moving in the wrong direction.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Mass movement for Bernie couldn't even make him candidate for president, because Bernie didn't even try to fight and betrayed it to push worst ghouls in entire party instead, TWICE. So any movement imaginable better exclude this imperialist fossil saboteur from its ranks.

[–] 7toed@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Who are those ghouls? Just curious, I know of our Manchins ofc but I wanna know who Bernie is okay with that I wouldnt have thought.

[–] DeadWorldWalking@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bernie had the largest grassroots campaign in American history and used it to bend the knee to Clinton and then Biden instead of running as an actual leftist candidate like everyone was campaigning for him to

[–] 7toed@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago

I honestly didn't keep up with him much in 2016, and was under the impression the DNC screwed him over more than anything then, and I really dfk what the DNC has been thinking the last 8 years out of this.

I do enjoy taking flak for asking questions though
