In before he's branded an antisemite
He should have been president
It's such a goddamned shame
He is still to this day more popular than either Biden or Trump. The list is actually pretty fascinating stuff.
And all the people who said Bernie was clearly too crazy to mount a serious campaign are now telling Biden how to run his campaign
Or Hilary, for that matter
I have no idea at all why Hillary is anywhere high up on that list. Carter being at the top is surprising in a good way; Hillary being high up is surprising in a very disquieting way.
My best guess is that it's either people who read a lot of newspapers, or people who really are falling victim to the "well the Democrats aren't great but they're not total monsters like the Republicans so I like them now" Stockholm Syndrome that the shills like to say is responsible for people's support of Biden.
Have you seen the Bernie's Legacy video? It's up to us now to continue the fight.
That timeline would have been amazing. Imagine UAW's reblossoming but with actual executive support!
Biden fired the guy who used to run the NLRB, and put in a bunch of actually pro-labor people. The guy Biden fired was the same guy who broke the air traffic controllers' strike way way back at the beginning of this round of great robberfication of the country.
And look! Putting pro labor people in charge of the labor agency worked out pretty well. Biden gave a huge amount of material support that enabled a lot of the recently-unprecedented success that people who've been fighting for labor gains have been achieving in the last year or two.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is pushing back after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused US college students protesting against the war in Gaza of being antisemitic.
On Wednesday, Netanyahu’s office released a video of the US-born Israeli leader attacking the student-led protests that have taken over campus spaces at numerous universities.
Senator Sanders — one of America’s highest-profile Jewish lawmakers — responded in a statement on Thursday in which he directly refuted Netanyahu’s accusations and addressed him by name.
It is not antisemitic to point out that your bombing has completely destroyed more than 221,000 housing units in Gaza, leaving more than one million people homeless – almost half the population,” Mr Sanders said.
Sanders closed the statement by again addressing the Israeli leader directly and calling antisemitism “a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to many millions of people”.
US House Speaker Mike Johnson echoed Netanyahu’s criticisms during a visit to Columbia on Wednesday, where he was greeted with a chorus of boos from gathered demonstrators.
The original article contains 580 words, the summary contains 172 words. Saved 70%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

In a much better timeline— this great man won the presidency.
Just imagining that timeline has me in awe compared to the shitshow happening here in this one.
