is holding electoralist rallies working at all to change things? cause i'm not seeing it at all. just an old man relativising evil and genocide.

Definitely not, but as far as what an old man can do, this is it. So I'm not mad at him.

he had a lifetime of being young and elected

Yep, and he worked successfully to pass a lot of very meaningful legislation for working class residents of Vermont during his career. I'm not sure why you assume if one man would have only worked a little harder that we wouldn't be where we are today, and that since he didnt succeed in fixing all the things he cares about, its rational to assume he's a fraud.

he is doing literally nothing but maintain the cogs of the capitalist system for many decades now. the cogs who led to people like rfk jr being in charge of your healthcare.

regular career politician that does political campaign and says big words but makes no effect. that guy won't just resign because someone who can barely pass bills is telling him to. sanders also sounds like a zionist about the genocide.
