ironically, Bernie is one of the few potential presidents who probably would have held Bibi off and not gotten involved in their adventures. He's been an outspoken critic.

hate him all you want, but clinton (mentored by fucking henry bomb cambodia kissinger) - and now trump as shown by the last year - never would have reigned him in. Bernie could shrug off AIPAC bullshit in ways none of them could ever hope.

That’s exactly why he was not nominated by the DNC, who’s leveraged by AIPAC backed candidates.

The whole system is corrupt. Both sides corrupt, one is more open and the other behind the mask.

[-] AlexLost@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Both are corrupt, yes. Both ha e different agendas, yes. Therefore, if you only focus on 1 issue, you can say both are just as bad. Personally, I'd rather have a "free" democratic society than an authoritarian christo fascist one, but what do I know?!

[-] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago

You do not have a free democratic society. The DNC has stated openly that they are a private organization who can handpick any candidate they want no matter what the people vote for. You have always lived in a dictatorship of wealthy pedophiles, they just don't bother with pretense anymore.

Bernie will still tell people to vote for Clinton so in the end what does it matter?

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

it's called harm reduction. not better than bernie, but better than trump.

unfortunately this is the timeline we occupy. I understand all the reservations with compromised candidates - but it's democracy, not marriage, you don't get to pick the exactly perfect candidate and ignore the harm done by the obviously more hideous candidate. That's not how this works.

It's imperfect, but it's the reality we live in. Selfishly deciding not to participate because your perfect candidate / ideology wasn't met shouldn't mean you choose the ideologically VILE candidate - which is what you've gotten in Trump.

I WISH I COULD HAVE VOTED FOR BERNIE.

But the hellscape that is the middle east would not be where it is today under Harris.

Period.

Fucks sake.

Kamala was supporting genocide and Iran invasions as well there is no difference.

[-] Blaiz0r@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

You're glad you dodged the Kamala bullet?

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago

At least Trump is doing everything incompetently.

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

tell that to the school full of children he blew up.

you own that. that's on your stupidity. nice fucking work

Luckily Biden didn't flatten an entire concentration camp and all schools inside it.

Foreign policy is bipartisan. I understand the idea of harm reduction for domestic issues even if I'm skeptical considering democrats had already thrown trans people under the bus. It's possible that the democrats wouldn't have kidnapped Maduro, but they'd gleefully support the killing of over half a million people worldwide due to illegal sanctions, and they'd definitely have bomb places regardless (look at Obama). Hell, Obama and Biden increased ICE funding and created the conditions for Trump. So sure, vote for the lesser evil, but don't pretend foreigners ever mattered to them, especially those of us living here in our countries where our democratically elected politicians sometimes disagree with your ghouls in chief and then we get collective punishment for it.

As for Bernie Sanders, he's still a Zionist, he has repeatedly endorsed sending more money to Israel and he betrayed the people who voted him when he pretended he cared about Palestinians, going as far as refusing to call the genocide what it was and constantly blaming Hamas which helps manufacture consent for the complete extermination of the Palestinian people. So fuck him.

shouldn’t mean you choose the ideologically VILE candidate

You heard it here, from a BlueMAGA shit head: genocide support isn't ideologically vile, apparently!

But the hellscape that is the middle east would not be where it is today under Harris.

It literally was like that under Biden, who Harris promised to emulate. For fucks sake, you BlueMAGA genocide deniers are as bad as regular Trumpers.

[-] ExperiencedWinter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Ahh yes, both sides are the exact same. No reasonable human being could determine the difference between Trump and whatever Democrat is running.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

You clearly can't determine the difference, given you've resorted to outright lies and genocide apologism.

He doesn't want to say Israel, because people conflate Israel with Judaism. He's also making the focus a singular discreet and addressable issue, without bringing up the fact that the formation of the state of Israel has been a problem since the Nakba.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 week ago

He's not saying Israel because he's a liberal Zionist, and liberal Zionists are currently hell bent on scapegoating Netanyahu as some weird outlier who is solely responsible for all of the evil Israel is doing.

[-] Trying2KnowMyself@lemmy.ml 31 points 1 week ago

Bernie is pretending like the Zionist entity is separable from its government.
