Bernie Sanders Thanks Elon Musk

[Sauce Mane]

If we had more politicians like him

 

[MoveForward]

America is a business and these business oligarchs are a-national, they don’t give a fukk about you or this country. There is no such thing as a good multi billionaire, hoarding so much wealth automatically makes you evil.

 

[Canon]

what's he really saying tho?

 

[3rdWorld]

It's not like the warning signs weren't clear though..people allowed this to happen

 

[TripleAgent]

He may have had a shot if he didn't suddenly forget what reparations are when it was time to talk about them for Black people instead of his

 

[Seoul Gleou]

what's he really saying tho?

what do you think he's saying?

 

[Luke Cage]

One of the ONLY politicians who legit cares. Too bad he’s mad old

Probably one of most ineffectual politicians of all time. People say Obama didn't do enough and yet will praise this dude in the same breath.
Low key hilarious, but sad at the same time.

We could've avoided so much craziness if he was president in 2016

Here’s a summary of Bernie Sanders' policy platforms that were adopted by Democrats :

---

Adopted by Democrats​

1. $15 Minimum Wage
   • Democrats included a $15 federal minimum wage in their 2016 platform, a key Sanders proposal. This was a significant shift from previous platforms, which only called for a higher minimum wage tied to inflation.
2. Expansion of Social Security
   • Sanders successfully pushed for language in the 2016 Democratic platform to expand Social Security benefits, reflecting his focus on reducing economic inequality.
3. Carbon Pricing
   • The 2016 Democratic platform adopted Sanders' call for carbon pricing to address climate change, though Hillary Clinton preferred executive actions over legislative measures.
4. Criminal Justice Reform
   • The platform included stronger language on criminal justice reform, such as investigating police-involved shootings and addressing racial disparities, aligning with Sanders' advocacy.
5. Marijuana Legalization Pathway
   • Democrats adopted a "reasoned pathway to future legalization" of marijuana in their 2016 platform, a position Sanders championed.
6. Death Penalty Abolition
   • The 2016 platform called for abolishing the death penalty, a stance Sanders had long supported.
7. Paid Family Leave and Universal Pre-K
   • In 2020, joint Biden-Sanders task forces recommended 12 weeks of paid family leave and universal pre-K education, which were incorporated into Democratic policy proposals.
8. Climate Change Goals
   • The 2020 task forces recommended ambitious climate goals, including net-zero emissions by 2050 and eliminating carbon pollution from power plants by 2035, reflecting Sanders' influence.
9. Healthcare Expansion
   • While "Medicare for All" was not adopted, the 2020 task forces recommended lowering the Medicare eligibility age to 60 and expanding public options, aligning partially with Sanders' goals.
10. Student Debt Relief
    • The 2020 task forces proposed up to $10,000 in student debt relief and tuition-free community college, reflecting Sanders' emphasis on education reform.

strong and wrong. you hate to see it

He didn’t attend a ceremony involving civil rights and yet you put the blame on black people in the south for not rocking with him?

Ya’ll are really impressed by a old white man who ain’t did shyt of worth, let alone for black people, but give basic ass speeches

He marched in the protests during the movement. Which is more than what all the other white folks the that were fully backed by the CBC ever did. Even his policies were and still is more progressive for the betterment of black folks than any presidential candidate backed by the CBC.

016 was fukked up, but he did himself no favors in not cultivating a strong black democratic following in southern states.

Had he built up political cache with southern black americans, 016 would have never had happened.

His bigger problem is that he has no legislation he can point to and say he bettered peoples lives.


he just repeats the same refrain, over and over and over again.


a person of action will always have the advantage.

he would have been called a do nothing commie with a multi million dollar homes.

To continue my reply from above. The Congressional black caucus are establishment Democrats through and through. There was no way they weren't going to break away from endorsing the establishment favorite.
Bernie, from what I remembered, had the support of young black voters but the older black folks tend to follow establishment picks because that's what the news sources they follow promotes. All that "he got no legislation" ain't got nothing to do about it.

You're absolutely right. This country definitely has a problem electing people without a proven history of legislation.

strong and wrong. you hate to see it

a bunch of stuff he simply supports not a personal list of accomplishments

Plus Most of these things have either never been adopted or have been/will be subsequently overturned.
1) Student Debt Relief, You got this wrong. Biden supported forgiving 10K. Sanders wanted to forgive all student debt. Only one of them actually accomplished their goal.
2)Climate change goals. is not even a action, just a long term recommendation that will never happen
3)His call for the death penalty to be abolished was ignored
4) I supported marijuana legalization too, both me and him have nothing to do with whether or not it happens. Ultimately states decide if its legal or not.
5) Criminal Justice Reform failed. The government is no longer investigating racial disparities unless they feel like white people are the victims.
6) Federal minimum wage is still at $7.25. not $15 like he proposed
7) Social security didn't get expanded until last month by former president Biden.Trump will eventually overturn it meaning we see zero benefit. He played no part in either outcome
8) 12 week Paid family leave and universal pre-k never happened
9) carbon pricing was another campaign promise that he never successfully accomplished. And he no longer even supports carbon pricing. He changed to the green new deal.

 

[fact]

He shoulda BEEN grooming a successor since 2016 at the very least

Impossible in this political climate. The idiots in this country consider Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris “far left progressive communists” lol anyone to the left of Steven Miller is “woke” and should be beaten to death.

 

[Vandelay]

So many clear forks in the road that if any one of them went right, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Subverting Bernie in 2016 was one of them.

Conservatives are really fukking dumb man:
