Bernie Sanders on what Trump has done right: "cracking down on fentanyl, making sure our borders are stronger. Look, nobody thinks illegal immigration is appropriate."
The American senator, previously known for his left-wing politics, has supported a bill introduced by Lindsey Graham and other war hawks that calls for moves that would essentially destroy Gaza economically and plunge the population into a deadly famine, all under the guise of “eliminating Hamas”.
idk, I don’t think it’s totally invalid to point out that even social fascists saying the bare minimum of “the government should do some stuff that makes peoples’ lives better” draws huge crowds and unprecedented grassroots level support, and instead of embracing it the Democrat party instead sees it as an existential threat.
That was my interpretation of this tweet, I could be wrong.
Hasan is cool enough for being a Twitch Streamer, but him, the Chapoids, and pretty much every "leftist" content creator would defend a hypothetical President Sanders. They would gladly accept the minimum DemSuc concessions and then defend the imperialist structures which could fund western social programs. That's my takeaway.
The chapos have at least realized that AOC is a sheepdog who can't even do the bare minimum on limiting arms shipments to the Zionist Entity.
Hasan would maybe defend a president Sanders, but I've never been convinced Hasan is fully on the ball. He's always struck me as a clickbait tabloid sort of guy.
Hasan always has terrible takes on china and thats my easiest tell of someone who claims to be a leftist but is very unserious.
Same with his recent comments about the USSR and North Korea. One could say it’s to placate his largely radlib audience but he gets slandered even when walking on eggshells so why even bother?
he's a true believer that china is authoritarian and bad and has no freespeach
That's just straight up not true.
