How different things would be if he had been our president.
- His EO's alone would have moved us further forward than any Democrat since LBJ.
  But it was a good thing that his candidacy made the Democrats show us who they really are.
Well there's your problem, you still think the United States is a civilized country.
*Added missing word.
- You accidentally a word.
  
  Please do not the word.
  
  Thank. I add word.
Bernie is completely right. What has happened in Gaza has became so unacceptable.
- I only see the highlights from the Internet, the "yas queen" moments.
  Is he ever not right?
  
  Bernie's basically made his whole career out of being on the right side of issues
Remember the Berlin Airlift?
I really wish one of these world powers had the balls to tell Israel to go fuck itself and fly aid in anyway.
Sanders rips US-backed New Holocaust
FIFY
By the way AOC just voted in favour of a new ADL-backed "antisemitism" definition so I guess she's not a genuinely leftwing humanitarian successor for Sanders.
- Ha that was disappointing =(
  The left in this country is fucking cooked.
- Its a shame that even the most progressive politicians have some really backwards takes/voting records to help keep themselves in office.
Egypt is the only way in but I guess they do what Israel says. Ironic given their history.
- At this stage Israel controls the Rafah crossing, so Egypt doesn't have a way to send stuff in unless they try to force the issue with military involvement.
  And obviously they're dependent on the US for military aid, so if they tried they'd get cut off immediately.
- Not exactly ironic; Egypt waged a few flashy wars against Israel but we've been kowtowing to them for at least two decades. Egypt is the Arab state most complicit in Israel's atrocities against Palestinians.
  
  Egypt is the Arab state most complicit in Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians.
  You say that like Egypt is not another country that's dominated by the US. The "Arabs" they rose up and took back control of their country in 2011 only to have it taken away from them again in a US supported coup, thanks Obama! Would Egyptians themselves support the genocide like we know most Israelis do?
  
  I’m talking way back
- No it's not
I swear to God if some idiot comes here to whine about how genocide Joe would have been better I'll stalk him to personally slap him in the face
