Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Sen. Bernie Sanders is touring Iowa and Nebraska to rally against “the oligarchy,” aiming to energize progressives rather than launch a 2028 presidential bid.

At 83, he seeks to shape the Democratic Party’s future, arguing it lost in 2024 by neglecting working-class voters.

He hopes to influence budget battles and the 2026 midterms, targeting GOP lawmakers in battleground districts.

With Democrats lacking clear leadership, Sanders’ prominence and focus on economic inequality could define the party’s direction in the Trump-Musk era.

Hey Bernie if you need some blood or a kidney or something lemme know.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 43 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Give us the word Bernie, we can find a whole bunch of blood and kidneys for you.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 24 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I mean I need to keep some, guys

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

It's fine, we'll just donate to you once you run out. Then you can keep donating. 👌💪

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Just clarifying, are you offering your blood or kidney, or do you just like have a bunch sitting around?

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I would give Bernie Sanders a blood donation no question.

Edit I would give him a blood marrow donation no question. Aware of the discomfort and recovery.

I would legitimately consider giving him a kidney, after certain private conversations and understanding.

If I can source him a nice kidney, lemme call my guy

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I would be willing to source it from outside if needed. He's a real one.
