Sanders calls for conditioning US aid to Israel
Sanders calls for conditioning US aid to Israel
Under Sanders’ proposal, the U.S. would withhold further aid “unless there is a fundamental change in their military and political positions.”

This man could have been the president
Not if the DNC had anything to do about it, and they did.
After all, they're part of The Big Club.

I voted for him, but I have a feeling his agenda would have gone nowhere thanks to the corporate ass-kissers in both parties in congress and the judiciary. Maybe we don't deserve social democracy.

Not with that attitude we don't.
that kind of defeatism guarantees that we will never have a morally upstanding president.
You are a part of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sanders would not get everything he wants done in a term, but any progress is better than our current puppet presidents
Nah, tho. Young people didn’t vote in high enough numbers. Depressing. I voted Bernie.
I didn't. I was wrong. I'm sorry.
At least you own it. That's progress.
Several million young prospective voters were prevented from voting by going to college in states that don't allow out of state resident voting and not being able to vote in their home states on a Tuesday.
Add the fact that colleges are typically critically underserved when it comes to voting infrastructure, leading to a requirement to stand in line for the equivalent of a full-time job working day and it's clear that it's not young people being too apathetic.
It's politicians ratfucking them almost as much as they ratfuck people of color and people of color have much better get out the vote infrastructure to counteract it than colleges do.
I was young and voted for Bernie
Now I'm old and tired of this shit 😔
He was nowhere close to even contesting the primary. He got blown out by 3 million votes.
I didn't say he was close. My comment is basically a wish, kind of a "what could have been" situation.
Ah ok. Thought it was another "Bernie got robbed" thing.
That's the thing. He wasn't going to beat Hillary in 2016. Yet, the Party took it in their hands to hurt him, give Hilary questions to debates, etc. It has always been that way. If you aren't with the Party, you won't get on their ballot.
Highly unlikely.
Sanders was literally the meme about nobody caring about cspan and has a long history of refusing to condemn the particularly brutal communist regimes. And he would have been up against a notorious name caller
Who are the current brutal communist regimes that Sanders was supposed to condemn that he didn't condemn?
