I know Bernie's a :LIB: and all, but the man's actually on TV trying to push a bill giving M95 masks to every American household. He wouldn't have done communism and he can only conceive of politics through parliamentarian tactics, but fuck I believe the man cares about the common people. You couldn't have even accepted the Soc dem America and you are getting punished for it.
He's a soc dem but he sets him self apart by actually fighting tooth and fucking nail more than any politician I know. He's constantly out there actually supporting strikes, pushing health care bills, and trying to make improvements in people's lives. He's not the communist fox news makes him out to be, but he really contrasts against the inaction other senators
At this point, I'm actually grateful Bernie didn't win.
He would've been hamstringed by his own party and the GOP, even more so than Biden. The current SCOTUS would declare every word he breathes unconstitutional. Even with his best efforts, the pandemic would probably be going about the same for the US ... except both the conservatives and libs would be blaming it on Socialism.
At least with Biden in charge of an unsalvageable crumbling empire, Liberal Capitalism gets the blame for the continued collapse.

That's good, it builds the contradictions. People's consciousness grows trought struggle.
70-30 rule applies. Bernie is ultimately good. Is he the ideal leader for the left? absolutely no. But he's not a reactionary either. He's a good person, at the end of the day, and one of very few politicians I think we can say that about.
He was trying to lead the political wing of a movement. They’re supposed to denounce extremism while JAQing off about how valid the extremist’s grievances are. When fascists and “respectable Republicans” do this, it’s completely transparent and allowed to continue. When a socdem does it, it gets crushed. Because the ruling class understands these dynamics

As long as you exclude him supporting the massive and violent destruction of Yugoslavia

Oh yeah I don't think the establishment would have let him get anything done, but imagine if the President was actually trying.
