Trump is literally positioning for a military takeover.
But sure, let's bitch about Harris some more.
Bernie, shut the fuck up, Mr 'I'll work with Trump to get rid of credit card fees'.
He should have won instead of Hilary. But party politics got in the way, and now we the world have to deal with the Demented Dorito.
- I mean it's a speculation game at this point but I'm honestly not sure he could have won in 2016.
  
  I'm sure Clinton couldn't have. She was carried across the line in the primaries and considered running the rest of the way to be beneath her.
  
  If he had faced off against the Demented Dorito, he could have won. Hilary got the Democratic nomination because she made a party deal to let Obama take the lead last time. She wanted her turn at the wheel, and the machinery was going to put her there, by God.
  Her hubris lost her the 2016 election. The Demented Dorito does know how to put on a show to win the adulation of the masses, especially after The Apprentice built him up in the minds of many.
You mean the billionaires and CEO’s she was hugging in her campaign ads?
Or different ones?
She was. You just have to look at their shift in stance on crypto after that industry made huge donations.
Replace Harris with Democrats and then you're talking. Not sure why he's pointing fingers at Harris when he's already brought up the real issue: oligarchs.
- She was the leader of the party at the time? Why wouldn't he bring her up?
  
  Why did he endorse her 'at the time' of elections?
  Now Bernie the Sheepdog can perform his 'progressive' anti-establishment act for a few years until the next one.
Nah, really?
Every election cycle Bernie the Sheepdog performs his act against 'the establishment'
Until election time comes when he invariably endorses the corporate dems and rages against actual progressives.
If he's not too busy yelling 'Israel has the right to defend itself!'
"Yeah, but at least with Harris they wouldn't as loud whilst helping mass murder children in Palestine and putting immigrant children in ~~concentration camps~~ detention facilities in the US!"
- Silently helping mass murder children in palestine is better?
  
  Damn, satire is trully dead when even a fake-quote requires an /s marker.
Call it a genocide, Bernie, or shut the fuck up and retire.
- 4/8 downvote rate.
  These Blue MAGA ghouls really have no human decency
  
  There’s a lot of hasbara bots on here.
- Nooo it's only 'the Netanyahoo government' to blame!
  After that they will be the perfect democracy again, bcs they never massacred Palestinians before. ( /s for the libs )
  He knows Satanhahoo's on his way out, just as bernie the sheepdog himself, so a good sacrifice to whitewash his beloved illegal state.
  Not unlike the shitty dem party. "Look, we screwed you again the last four years but here's a new face and it will be different, trust me bro" Besides, Kibbuts Bernie can't say genocide when all that comes out of his mouth is 'shitrael has the right to defend itself!' or 'Hamas bad!'
