Which one was your favorite? Which time that Bernie Sanders voted to send weapons to Israel? I can't wait to hear! Don't leave me hanging! I really wanted to hear.

I mean you're right to call me out on that other thing. I definitely remember the time when someone at Eurovision got up and did this, it was right between Spain and Portugal. I do agree, it would be wonderful if someone would do something like that in the US Senate, not just at Eurovision. It's honestly shameful that Bernie Sanders never did anything like that when Eurovision has been running commercials like this. Honestly, you're right, and I feel bad for ever doubting your insight here.

I cannot honestly parse this gish.

  • Which one was your favorite time he voted to send weapons to Israel? I keep asking
  • You're talking nonsense since Bernie Sanders has been extremely vigorous about opposing Israel (pretty obviously more so than Eurovision is) in a bunch of specific and material ways, here are some examples

Does that way of explaining it make sense?

You do realize it wasn't about Bernie's positions? It was just that him being a US senator enjoins a different level of scrutiny, for reasons such as: Congress funds Israel's military and Eurovision does not. (Or as far as I know.)

People saw his opposition to funding weapons and wanted him to call it a genocide, which he hadn't until today. Hence, expectations and the 'finally' sentiment being expressed.

I don't know why you're on this refrain of asking about my 'favorite time'.

Totally, totally. So when did he vote to send weapons to Israel?
