I loved Bernie in 2016 and 2020, Bernie and M4A were big reasons I moved leftward, but I’m disappointed by how big of a tankie Bernie has been about Israel. His far left online supporters have infected his brain with fascist ideas like having news coverage unfairly report how many Palestinians have died. I first got hints of his redfash Marxism when he wanted to abandoned the women of Afghanistan by saying the US should end the forever war, but forever war = forever equal rights.
Anybody else taken back by how far left Bernie is on Foreign policy? I’m kinda glad he lost now ngl
Following this line of thinking… why aren’t we seeing leftists getting elected across the Midwest? Could electoralism be a viable plan in these states?
Funding is the biggest reason IMO. Bernie was kind of an anomaly for how much grassroots support he was able to garner, and he delivered a message that reached people that are otherwise disinterested in politics. Regardless, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are both from the Midwest and are easily the best representatives in the country.
