Bernie has been a liberal for basically his whole life. He has helped the US war machine kill countless people. No occasional good thing could ever counterbalance that.

If a lib is helping maintain a strike fund using their infrastructure, they’re alright. Bernie is part of the system, but at least he’s capable of occasionally showing solidarity with workers and not just photographing the homeless and drinking wine while the world burns.

murdering imperialist

they’re alright

You can only pick one. Maintaining a strike fund doesn’t make him good. It just means he did a good thing - in the global north, and not in the global south where the damage of his actions has been concentrated.

He might not drink wine while the world burns, but he’s just fine helping the people doing the burning along.

Agreed lmao, I’m 100% on your side on this one. Just want to say that this is actually good and we should be contributing to strike funds more often. If this is how his campaign infrastructure is gonna be utilized over the next 4 years I’m all for it.

Yes, every American is as guilty as a politician who votes to go to war. :centrist: And maybe don’t assume everyone here is American.

Also, are the American people partially guilty for the actions of their government? :yes-comm: Of course they are.

Seriously, this looks like a :very-intelligent:-tier reply. What’s your point?
