Bernie Sanders

Well, finally someone's sticking up for the wealthy, and it's Ed Fridovich!

Yeah. He is a little odd. His mainline is 'Voluntaryism good, statism bad' though he doesn't elaborate what voluntaryism really is.
And statism is basically everything with any connection to government.

Awww, he's elaborated quite a bit with me in his weird little stream-of-consciousness way - not in any way that made sense, though, or at least not to anyone but himself. So now I feel special.

He says he went to school in Israel where, depending on the kind of experience he was given, I can kind of see how government, high school, and the military do get used to prop each other in a particularly toxic way. So, fair enough, right?

I don't really follow how that drove him to be full-blown hyper-libertarian, though, since if that had been me, I'd have been all about the liberation of public education from ideological control rather than its outright dissolution, and pressing him on any particular point about it results in him withdrawing his openness about where he's coming from and he goes right back to his energy is light and school is voting for rape slavery gibberish.

The heartbreaking part is that the reason he's having such a hard time explaining himself is probably because he could have done with a bit more progress in school.

I'm afraid you don't know anything about what Bernie actually supports.

For example, you should know, given how anti-war and anti-racist Bernie Sanders actually is, he would never support bombing people over skin color. Either you get your news from propaganda sources, or you're just retarded.

lol ok

“More problematic for the Senator in Birkenstock’s is the little-known fact that Bernie Sanders himself voted twice in support of regime change in Iraq. In 1998 Sanders voted in favor of the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, which said: ‘It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime.’

“Later that same year, Sanders also backed a resolution that stated: ‘Congress reaffirms that it should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime.’ These measures gave congressional backing for the CIA’s covert plan to overthrow the Hussein regime in Baghdad, as well as the tightening of an economic sanctions regime that may have killed as many as 500,000 Iraqi children. The resolution also gave the green light to Operation Desert Fox, a four-day long bombing campaign striking 100 targets throughout Iraq. The operation featured more than 300 bombing sorties and 350 ground-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles, several targeting Saddam Hussein himself” [pp. 37-38].

St. Clair adds: “Recall that over the 8 years of Clinton Time, Iraq was bombed an average of once every four days.”

SERBIA

The Bosnian War was the largest armed conflict in Europe since the end of World War II and caused over 100,000 deaths. The involvement of the USA and NATO in the war was a matter of controversy. Certainly, there was an anti-war stance to take, but Bernie didn’t rise to the occasion. As St. Clair writes,

“[Sanders] voted in favor of the war on Serbia: once, twice… and on April 28, 1999, he did it again. This was the astounding 213-213 tie vote, which meant that the House of Representatives repudiated the war on Serbia launched by Clinton in violation of Article One of the US Constitution., which reserves war-making powers to Congress. So if the ‘socialist progressive’ ‘anti-war’ Sanders had voted in line with the anti-war sentiments he has forged a career upon, the result would have been a straight majority for the coalition of Republicans and radical Democrats” [p. 2].https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/04/12/no-bernies-not-anti-war/

Far-Right propaganda isn't news.

The War on Terror facts are fact but here is from the other wing of the bird
Three days after the September 11 attacks, Bernie Sanders showed that even “democratic socialists” could rally behind the flag. He voted in favor of H.R. Res. 64, Authorization for Use of Military Force that provided a blank check to President George W. Bush to utilize force against the terrorists responsible. Less than a month later, the United States launched military actions against Afghanistan which over the course of the last 18 years have led to thousands of deaths and devastated the country. The War on Terror marked the beginning of Sanders’ support for the war budget and appropriations to the military in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007. and 2008.https://www.leftvoice.org/not-on-our-side-on-bernie-sanders-and-imperialism
