*if Gore's win wasn't stolen by the supreme court

That was my first ever presidential election vote, I was so excited to see someone with legit interest in saving the environment, full of hope for a new future. I remember how giddy it felt to step into the booth.

I lived in florida then, the entire state was thrown out by a legit conspiracy.

And it's jaded my vision of politics ever since.

What more do you want him to do? Politics moves on the margins, and Sanders is now and for as long as I can remember been one of the most Israel critical politicians both in terms of rhetoric and voting history. He is not a king; he is 1% of 1 chamber of the legislative branch of a country that has a lot of issues to deal with.

fuck off forum slider, your comment reads like AI schizophrenia.

1. Sanders

2. Sanhers

3. Sanhars

4. Samhars

5. amhas

6. hamas

7. Hamas

8. Start with the original name

9. Remove the bottom of the letter "d", now it looks like a mirrored "h", so let's mirror it back tp a normal "h"

10. The letter "e" is just an upside down "a" with rounded corners and a tail, so rotate it into an "a"

11. The letter "n" looks and sound almost like the letter "m", it is almost too easy, but let's just swap it.

12. Remove the extra letters.

13. Rearange the letters to spell "hamas"

14. Capitalize the name properly.

Done!

If only we had AI Gore in the early 00s.

Also, many progressives stayed home or voted for the Green Party. Not that it is more the fault of progressives than SCOTUS, but blame aside, it’s a cautionary tale.

I love hummus with olive oil flowing in the tunnels!

did it though, nothing has really changed sense his presidency has ended and arguably it has all gotten worse, all be it at a SLIGHTLY less breakneck pace. Not only that but his popularity never weigned and he is poiesed to come back, and I will be honest as much as I do not want trump to come back I would be a fool to say I did not expect him to win the election in 2024.

So no, temporarily removing him did basicly nothing, except allow feckless liberals to go to brunch and ignore everything that is going on in the world

Pretty sure you are comparing finacial fraud to genocide, maybe don't do that.

His replacement is (like the one he replaced) one of the most unpopular presidents in modern history, and is actively aiding the genocidal Netanyahu government.

The Palestinian conflict did not start on Oct 7th it's been happening for decades now. Specifically my gripes are with "The United States has rightly offered solidarity and support to Israel in responding to Hamas’ attack. But we must also insist on restraint from Israeli forces attacking Gaza and work to secure UN humanitarian access." I do not agree that any support should have been given period, Israel has been a genocidal Zionist entity for a long time now and Sanders is well aware of this I'm certain. I'm also frustrated by his request for restraint as if anything other than the dismantling of the Israeli state could possibly suffice.

He is also a proponent of the two state solution which is inherently sympathetic to the settler colonial state.

I'm glad he is wants the genocide to stop but conditional fucking Israeli aid is not the way to do that. They should not be aided. Was it wise to aid apartheid South africa through continued trade relations? Was it right to vilify Mandela as a terrorist? Of course not, we can look back on these actions and see how wrong they were because we know what came to be. So why are we doing it again?

Yes obviously apartheid South Africa and the current palestinian genocide are not a flawless comparison but they are similar enough.

Essentially my point is that he has been much too sympathetic towards Israel for a while. Sure he's probably one of the most radical politicians we have on this issue but I find that to be incredibly disheartening.

He never was. But he didn't say the exact thing that people wanted him to, which is a mortal sin
