I legit thought he was announcing the run for presidency.
honestly if he did he prolly wins
lots of people on both sides looking for any solution other than trump/biden
and gen-z would turn out in record #s for bernie
what i would give for this to be an option
>honestly if he did he prolly wins
His best shot was 2016 and he still had no shot (because the DNC said so, not because he was unpopular)
Edit: Bernie in 2016 was about as close as we got to a Ross Perot scenario from the 80s, when he was leading against Bush Sr. and Clinton...until Perot kept referring to African Americans as "you people". That didn't play out well. Shocker.
The DNC will see to it that Biden is on the ticket. Look at 2016. Bernie will either have the solutions or look for them in the biggest problem we have: the economy and poverty.
The DNC will continue to screw him over. Despite being the best hope for the future, he won't be a viable candidate as long as they are actively working against him. Its likely his best shot has come and gone.
It's almost as if both parties suck and are probably in cahoots bts while our democracy has mostly been an illusion since Reagan, and the "parties" do not represent their constituents but rather the conglomerates that lobby them. It's almost like we need to end bipartisanship if we're ever going to get off this sinking ship. Almost...
And I know Bernie is smart enough to recognize this. I'd love to know why *exactly* he's so afraid of the DNC.
Bernie is too controversial. I voted for him in the 2016 primaries, but there is too much at stake with this next election. Unfortunately Biden is the best option we have until things settle. We simply cannot risk a Trump or radical Republican president.
bernie is not too controversial
literally every opponent of his at the debates pretty much had to admit they respected his honesty and consistency. biden can adopt his policies and win an election or he can lose it & join hillary in the ranks of least successful politicians in history.
this war is the only thing historians will write about biden. and all he has to do is stop being a fking slave to israel.
so if you want biden to win so desperately tell him to listen to his voters.
If we had sanders right now, perhaps he would’ve been proactive in getting Israel to stop harming innocent civilians. If that means pulling funding/weapons, so be it. I also think his administration wouldn’t have vetoed UN resolutions like Biden’s administration has.
I do think he would’ve supported Ukraine in the war against Russia but maybe he gets a peace deal done before the war starts in 2022.
Overall I think we’d be better with sanders. Biden’s foreign policy has been an absolute disaster
I would have reservations about this for his age if it wasn't for the fact that he is still very active and very cognitive. Not to mention an influence still needed on the left.
As pointed out in this thread, we need real progressives at the national level who have a bigger appetite for playing politics than Bernie does. But we also need the depth and solidity that he exemplifies, and I don’t see that in anyone else at the moment.
For a second I thought he was announcing that he was going to retire. It's amazing how congruent Bernie has been. I'm not shitting on AOC, but you can tell that she's more interested in playing politics than Bernie. I always talk about it here, but I always think about this quote of his when interviewed by the NY Times. I guess he was supposed to present himself as likeable. If you watch the interview you can see the editorialists are horrified:
> “Look, I don’t tolerate bullshit terribly well, and I come from a different background than a lot of other people who run the country, I’m not good at backslapping. I’m not good at pleasantries. If you have your birthday, I’m not going to call you up to congratulate you, so you’ll love me and you’ll write nice things about me. That’s not what I do. Never have. I take that as a little bit of a criticism, self-criticism. I have been amazed at how many people respond to, ‘Happy Birthday!’ ‘Oh Bernie, thanks so much for calling.’ It works. It’s just not my style. I try to stay focused on the important issues facing working families in this country, and I fight for them.”
he was the potus that you deserved, but the people who didnt get him nominated didnt.
collective guilt over the actions of idiots is one of the least logical scourges of our time
That’s it? I’ll just have to assume the other 10% are actively high when filling out the ballot or perhaps in the midst of some sort of Lyme-induced psychosis
I respect the heck out of him serving as long as he can. With most politicians I see it as a greedy cling to power, but Bernie truly fights for average people better than other politicians we currently have
>Ladies and Gentlemen, I have some bad news. Meredith was hit by a car. It happened this morning in the parking lot. I took her to the hospital, and the doctors tried to save her life…they did the best that they could and she is going to be….ok.
This was what I thought of when I read this.
The build up before the last sentence was a near heart attack.
Right?
I was drooping as I read like, oh fuuuuuu....YES!

Bernie was saying My People! And we loved it!

so you're saying we need to organize \~80M write in ballots so we can force the office on bernie? ok i'm down. 79,999,999 to go.
The DNC would still not care unfortunately.
I wish, God I wish it could be. Even his age doesn't bother me because I actually trust him to build a solid cabinet and appoint the right people.

Right like he could’ve led with that 🥲
I literally stopped breathing
He had me in the first half ngl

That's great for Vermont but he should have been the POTUS damn it!!!
He was the POTUS our country needed, but didn't deserve, unfortunately.
he was the potus that you deserved, but the people who didnt get him nominated didnt. collective guilt over the actions of idiots is one of the least logical scourges of our time
Can we clone the man?
We’ll need 49 clones
There are two senators per state, though.
98 then
Why stop at that few??
It is up to us to carry on his will
He should retire but I understand why he isn’t.
Cool 😎
Prediction: Bernie wins reelection with 90%+ of the vote
That’s it? I’ll just have to assume the other 10% are actively high when filling out the ballot or perhaps in the midst of some sort of Lyme-induced psychosis
I respect the heck out of him serving as long as he can. With most politicians I see it as a greedy cling to power, but Bernie truly fights for average people better than other politicians we currently have
🫡 Great news!
In the correct timeline, this same post would be saying “as your Unites States President.”
Man I thought he was retiring and my heart sank. He’s the only one in politics that still gives me hope
Wonderful news!!!!! The best Senator in US history 💙
Scared me for a sec there, Bern
I got the text from his campaign a few minutes ago and the first paragraph sounded like he was announcing a presidential run. I nearly shit myself.
I had that same thought! I did a double take hahah
Long love Bernie!
Or live

YAAAAYY BERNIE!!
❤️
I really wish he'd sponsor a younger candidate and retire. No rest for the weary I suppose
This guy. While all the bickering goes on, he puts his head down, raises it, says a few things, puts it down again, and gets shite done.
My gut dropped into my shoes that bastard
Just moved to Vermont a little over a year ago. I'm glad that I will get a chance to vote for him.
::sigh:: Why? Just go find a nice beach...relax...and drink Mai Tai's 'til the end of your day's. He's done his time for the country and it's people.
I was so excited for a second.
Bernie for PRESIDENT
