Warren, MICHIGAN. I would like to encourage anyone who posts local news to put clarifying geographical data in the title ... I've spent so many minutes of my life clicking thru to some local TV station's story and looking ... looking ... looking for any sort of clue where the hell they are.
It's interesting to watch this, and while Bernie is slightly left to my values, how come this octogenarian gets it and the rest of the party doesn't? I'm just amazed that some democrats interpret this as "let's align with MAGA" a little more, instead of calling those "right wing radicalists". The future of Dems is to be the anti-oligarchy party. While I understand how risky this may be as unlimited dark money pouring in can tilt things, but people still have the power if they unite.
No fucking way anti-oligarchy is the future of the party. The Dems are going to run the same tired playbook of courting the center and hoping the Republicans shit the bed. They are already saying this loudly and often.

We'll see. It would be quite tragicomical after they just got punished for moving towards the center like the second humiliating time around. At least Bernie's showing the path.
While too far left could mean this, the op just said "slightly left". Of course, if what you meant is that Bernie Sanders is barely left enough, that anyone to the right of him is the problem, then nvm.
Agreed, Sanders only has the working class at heart throughout his career. Is he perfect? Of course not. If you are working class and you think Bernie is bad…. You really need to reconsider who you are and where you stand.
Here we have somebody being polite and engaging in [email protected]. I come to this community because I wish to talk to people who are more right-wing than me. Let's not shoo them away please.
Edit: if you go on calling people "part of the problem" for considering Bernie slightly to their left in a post that praises him, then you are actually part of the problem and you don't even realize it.
America is way too far fucking right wing, that’s insane
It generally is, especially from the European perspective but not entirely. If we put aside present republican posturing, the USA is very immigration-friendly right and left whereas in Europe the right wing is extremely against any kind of immigration.
How in the fuck is Bernie too far left for you?
You guys are way too inclined to think in extremes. Slight = difference between democratic socialist vs. social democrat.

Which party? The Democrats? He's not part of them since they crushed him and his followers in 2016, preferring to back H.Clinton to a stunning loss against Trump.
They don't get it because they are also a party more interested in supporting oligarchs than the working person. They still think that Trump beat them through disinformation, when it was really that they lost because their track record since Carter has been to back big business over the needs of the common people. Clinton and Obama should have been ripping up Regan's / Bush's legacy, but they just tweaked it. All Trump did was speak to that, even though he had no intention of doing anything about it.
When is Harris' anti-oligarchy rally? Obama's? LOL, Pelosi's? Why the fuck does this one guy who should be retiring on a beach somewhere have to keep dragging the entire Democratic party? I love Bernie, but it's beyond pathetic that after all these years it's still his job.
Because none of those other people want to. The only reason they even allow Bernie to do as much as he does is to placate progressive liberals, if they didn't folks might start figuring out that reform doesn't work.
