You should really do some research then, as he has been a socialist since college - and to put that time in perspective his dad was born in the Austro-Hungarian empire so it’s not a recent flip

I know his history i was a huge fan

I'm talking about him bending the knee to the DNC Neoliberals in 2016 when he could have stayed in and won the presidency instead of fucking 10 more years of fascists/neoliberal fascists.

Watch what he does now closely, if he tells us to vote for Democrats again we are FUCKED

He would not have won the presidency, the system is rigged to be two party only and he would have utterly destroyed his career. Knowing the man he will always go for the harm reduction option.

I wonder if you can compare what happened to teddy Roosevelt and Bernie's case

the system is rigged to be two party only

If the system is rigged, why not protest for fix the thing that is rigged and not after the fact when the rigged thing isn't in your favor?

Your complacency is what's perpetuating this rigged system, yet you all think your "party" is going to fix it when they're both only looking out for themselves.
