Summary

Senator Bernie Sanders is intensifying his fight against U.S. oligarchy, targeting wealthy individuals like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg.

Sanders argues that these billionaires manipulate the global economy, influence elections, and control the government, hindering democracy and exacerbating global inequality.

He believes this issue is crucial, impacting various aspects of society, including climate change, healthcare, worker protections, and poverty.

    I try to. I will admit, it can be difficult.

    Anything specific you are referring to?

      Yeah, the “only Bernie loves us” bullshit.

      Here are ratings from the AFL-CIO, America’s union federation, where you can find the current year and lifetime ratings of all US Senators.

      Bernie has a 98%.

      Twenty five Senate Democrats have higher pro-union ratings than him.

        Damn, you think that’s a dunk? At 98% lifetime with 100% current, you think you might be splitting hairs a bit to make that sound bad?

          Did you read the part where 25 Democratic Senators have higher lifetime ratings than him?

          Anyway, the contention here is the stupid notion that the only “good” US Senator is Bernie.

            Ahh, that’s a strawman. The person you are replying to never made that argument, you created that argument in your head because it was easier to defeat with this piece of information.

              Sorry for disrupting your circlejerk!

              Here, let me get into the mood:

              The only thing we need to do is make Bernie president, then we’ll never have to think about politics ever again!

                    Fuck, Teddy, at this point you’re just strutting around on the board cooing and knocking over pieces.

            There’s no contention except what you’re creating it, no one’s said that at all and I see you’re trolling the rest of the thread. Get lost, troll.

              As someone not from the US (but who has lived/worked/studied in the US), Sanders seems like the only member of the US upper house that is willing to speak honestly and engage in haram speech that goes against local provincial orthodoxy.
