Bernie is 100% democrat, like we could argue if the Squad of 4 is good or bad, but bernie since his support of the bombing of yugoslavia has shown himself as pro party line of the dems, from supporting their iraq war budgets to calling Biden a good friend, i dont think a Bernie presidency would have been too diferent to a normal democrat one.
Bernie would have continue the anti-china rhetoric but with socialist critique, the troops would still be overseas, he would prabaly start a war, the only diference is that the USA would have better welfare programs, but to anyone of us in the Global South we would still be under threat of imperialism by Sanders USA
i dont think bernie minds too much losing, since now he has shown the dems he can trick the working class into voting against their class interest by voting dems and getting nothing
Yeah he’d in all likelihood have been like a cuddlier version of Carter - still the same destructive genocidal shit going on under a kind starry-eyed grandpa facade. For US citizens things would have definitely gotten a bit more bearable.
Carter was the president during the indonesian great purge right?, so Sanders would probably finance CIA operations as long as they arent obvious
Ah yes, we are fucked either way, but I would have liked 80k working class randos not dying for medical debt. And maybe moving the disgusting “overton window” slightly to the left in the most influencing superpower for us, latams.
The fucking US president saying “healthcare insurance companies are evil” would have a big impact on our own governments’ relationships with our own healthcare insurance companies .
Or so I want to believe.
i dont think a slightly left USA is better for us, under JFK back when the US was socdem (before Reagan) they supported the 1964 coup in brazil against a socdem, also the bay of the pigs invasion against Castro, they caused a civil war in costa rica because of a christian socialist, etc.
we wont be safe from the US if they are socdem again, and the medical debt and other social programs will probably be paid with social imperialism, i dont think a anti-healthcare industry US president will have much effect on our own internal politics with healthcare and i think they will still intervene if we do anything to US companies
