He already endorsed Biden and Harris. This is just bad acting.
Nuance not a word in your vocabulary.
You’re bad acting
Must hurt to be downvoted to hell and a broken English reply not only makes more sense but also gets upvoted.
I was mocking them
Bernie should have been president.
How much can he hold up the sale if the rest of the senators are on board?
Not. Bernie is just posturing. Controlled opposition means pretending to oppose something when it doesn’t matter but supporting Biden when push comes to shove.
The Jew Bernie Sanders is ANTISEMITIC!
Thank you Bernie for having both sense and moral courage. I mean it’ll fail to pass because almost everyone else are bastards, but thank you anyway.

Weirdo
White genocide isn’t a thing, dipshit. Now go be a racist somewhere else - preferably in Hell.
I think it helps to force a vote on unpopular things they might not otherwise admit.
It won’t work, but bless his actual heart for trying.
Hey isnt that the money for Ukraine ?!
I like taxes. I want them to fund things in my community. I don’t want them paying for the deaths of an entire people.
It’s an arms sale.
Okay, I refuse to have my tax funded weapons to be used for any genocide, paid or otherwise. Sorry we needed to clarify.
…using the $4 billion per year we give them on the condition they use it to buy weapons from us. Sooo…
I wish Bernie would weaponize the filibuster the way Rand Paul does to block these things. I’m glad his heart is in the right place and I’m glad he does these things, but he doesn’t want to play dirty and it’s 2024, you need to play dirty when they’re willing to.
My dude, Bernie did a 8.5 hour filibuster and was coherent and on point the whole time, no phone book reading https://youtu.be/pm6qy_9E0rY
That’s sort of my point…
You don’t need to do that to filibuster anymore. And Rand Paul doesn’t.
If anything could get the Democrats to actually get rid of the filibuster, it would be blocking weapons for genocide.
The problem with using the filibuster is that it only works when you know the other side doesn’t have 67% in the senate. With both the democratic and republican parties being in the pocket of AIPAC, I suspect they could easily get the votes to break Bernie’s filibuster.
Maybe, but I feel like it’s worth a try.
It’ll at least get them on the record so they can be the bad guys in the documentary later.
Lets go Bernieee
It’s not a ‘sale’. It’s a handout to the welfare apartheid state, while Americans are wondering why their roads are falling apart, their education sucks and no universal health care.
It is a sale. US policy now is get the hell away from the Middle East. If Israel wants to fight, we can sell them weapons, but we won’t be sending our soldiers to fight their wars. This is why we also pushing so hard for EVs.
As for roads and education that’s actually covered local government and local taxes.
The reason we don’t have universal healthcare is because Republicans consistently block it (they even trying over and over remove ACA). Universal healthcare not only wouldn’t cost us more it would actually be cheaper to what we have right now.
It is a sale.
If I give you $400 per week for 5 weeks and tell you to spend it at my store, and you come in and buy $2000 worth of stuff… did I actually make a sale?
we won’t be sending our soldiers to fight their wars
Lol sure.
we also pushing so hard for EVs
Lol Part Deux. Yes, America is leading the way in EV adoption while phasing out big, gas-guzzling trucks and SUVs as rapidly as humanly possible.
Universal healthcare not only wouldn’t cost us more it would actually be cheaper to what we have right now.
Congratulations on not being completely wrong in your comment.
Tell that to the arms companies that are supplying about 5 bil worth of stuff for 20 bil of taxpayer’s money
How very antisemiti…oh, hang on…
Have we proof of bernies bar mitzva? Show us your bar mitzva card Bernie!
Give it all to Ukraine instead.
Fuck Israel. Fuck putin.
Convince Israel that the Palestinians have resettled in Russia.
Antisemitimoskovite!
I see this differently. For decades US was involved in the Middle East. Trying to preserve peace and of course get the sweet sweet oil. As we know it failed. Peace isn’t easy when the fighting sides’ goal is to wipe out each other.
US decided that enough is enough, and is very open saying that it wants or of it. It pushes EVs and so is EU.
Bibi is trying to start a war in the region, hoping that it will force US to get into yet another war. US is not taking the bait and its position is that if Israel wants a war, we can sell them weapons, but they are on their own.
This is contrast to trump who openly advocates to get our soldiers involved to help Israel.

“I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists.”
That’s not the same as “I will help Israel with reaching their goals”. It is clear that what she was saying is that if Iran or Iran-backed proxies attack US military they will get a “proportionate” response.
Bernie is a national treasure. His qualities as a politician and as a human being are going be recognized by the generations to come.
If we don’t elect more people like him quick, I’m afraid future generations will see us as all the same.
I hope future generations know that amidst all that is happening, there are those of us who are fighting back, even against terrible odds. There have always been people like that, and I hope there always will be
Thank you, Senator Bernard Sanders. You rock and you’re my hero.
