The romance with communism that started during a honeymoon in Soviet Russia .HC called them BernieBros , some referred them as basement dwellers for living in Mom & Dads basement. 10 years pass they have gone full blown Comrades. Mr Sanders like many are wealthy well to do now . His followers are dreamers of a utopia that doesn’t exist without billionaires.

“Sanders dismisses Rahm Emanuel’s warning that ‘Bernie bros’ could ‘spoil’ Democrats in the midterms”

“You have an establishment like Rahm Emanuel, who are dependent on billionaire campaign contributions to want to maintain the status quo. Then you have a progressive movement which, by the way, what is getting these guys nervous is we are winning all over this country,” he continued”.

The story is based on the hill news report

Bernie Sanders is the guy that the young and ignorant think is the savior and it's been that way when I was young and ignorant, except I liked Ron paul. They still think he's the savior, starting from millennial on down to the uni students now. Want communism. Wonder if they are still even teaching the history of communism in schools anymore. I'd rather not stick around to find out

The thing thats making him & his followers stand out is their alliance with Terrorist.

Teaching of Communism is sanitized now its called "Smart Authoritarianism" .

They don't fixate on the millions that lost their lives in the power grab.

The reason why communism will never die is because people will never be able to resist promises of free stuff. He is the snake oil salesmen that this forum said Trump was during the election

Bernie is romancing a Nazi type still who is accused of many evil's ,as he still doesn't regret his choice.

"When pressed about those scandals, Sanders often pointed to the outside money being spent against Platner and framed him as a champion of the working class".

Isn't it interesting how the left is supposed to be against white supremacy. But Platner with actual evidence of being a nazi is A-OK.

Absolute freakshow

If you are looking for the dumbest senator in Congress, you might consider Mazie Hirono.

great choice! i vote her her.

As the OP Notes, Bernie really must be the dumbest member of the Senate. Would that he had the intellect of the pride of Alabama, Sen Tommy Tuberville!

 

I mean, why the Senate for Bernie? He coulda been somebody! He coulda been a contender! Heck, he coulda been a truck driver, a job needed in countries from Capitalist to Socialist to Communist to Dictatorships. THAT is wise career planning. I mean, consider a career like hedge fund manager. One is so limited. Only Capitalist societies would have that kind of job. Bernie could have planned for any eventuality, should the only partially Socialist USA---though moving much closer under Trump with his farmers’ aid and having the USG take equity positions in private companies---shift from Capitalist to one of the other isms.

 

Bernie also could have worked some menial job for a career but parlayed 50 years of abject boredom into a meager pension plus Social Security, using it to move to Cambodia, where he could pay for the sexual services of poor, rural Cambodian girls. Bernie is also probably more ‘han sum’ and in better shape than guys who have followed that path, so he would have been a genuine stud muffin in Siam Reap or other Cambodian city.

 

Knowing his obvious limitations, Bernie cannot even pretend he went to a university like Harvard, settling instead for the ‘4^th rate’ University of Chicago.

 

If Bernie were truly an intelligent man, he could produce the kind of Shakespearean or David Lean-ish brilliance of this video posted by the official account of the White House.

Hop in... best dimension yet.

Yea, Bernie really blew it.

 

Spot on is this thread, a brilliant and important addition to AN.

When the world sees how american politics are going for the last 40 years, one may say that each new president with his gang is dumber then dumb then the one before.

I won't be seeing your comments in the future, this thread story "Is Sanders America’s dumbest Senator".

A 2019 article about new video footage of Sanders sucking up to the Communist in the Soviet Union while on his honeymoon decades earlier.Politico's article worried in content that the GOP might use this in campaign attack ads.

From the 2019 story,

"Sanders’ opponents, though, will likely find much in the tapes to call outlandish. And in a campaign season in which Democrats are concerned about nothing more than defeating President Donald Trump, there’s plenty of material that Democratic voters might worry the Republican Party could spin into a 30-second negative ad".

Bernie Sanders spent his career pushing state control from honeymooning in the Communist Soviet Union to demanding a government takeover of American healthcare. During COVID, he teamed up with Fauci to champion mandates, lockdowns, and school closures. Yet when Congress called an oversight hearing to answer for those policies, Sanders response is silence, while Fauci pleaded the Fifth to every single question asked.

For anyone arguing against government control on ASEANNow, this shows what happens when politicians hand absolute power to unchallengeable bureaucrats and then dodge accountability when those policies collapse.

This information is indeed accurate and reliable.

It is surprising that as technology advances, so many reduce their brain functions and human gullibility increases..

If only we knew then what we know now!

Fauci privately took the lab leak theory seriously and enjoyed the celebrity spotlight, even while pushing a very different story in public. Looking back, Sanders constant calls to "follow the science" look pretty hollow given how inconsistent and political the public health message actually was.

Sen. Sanders:

"We will not solve the COVID crisis until we have a president who believes in science—not one who regurgitates right-wing conspiracy theories".

Our Bernie was so lazy as a young man that he was asked to leave a commune. Instead of working (as other members did), he just wanted to sit around and talk politics. Seems like he is perfect for the DSA.

A recent X post from GOP Wesley Hunt (a Black West Point graduate and Apache copter pilot) just dropped a strong response to Sanders latest comments claiming Black people somehow can’t manage to get a photo ID to vote.

Hunt points out how insulting it is to suggest Black Americans can serve in the military, run businesses, buy homes, and board planes yet are supposedly incapable of obtaining a basic government ID.
