    I don’t fully agree with you about Sanders. I may be wrong but he strikes me as somebody who is in favour of socialism, but knowing that he can’t achieve socialism in short time, is trying to be pragmatic. He won’t manage to create a world ruled by the workers in his lifetime but he makes efforts to improve the lives of workers within this one.

    God fucking damn it. Sanders did campaign on legitimately demsoc policies in 2020, but if you look at virtually everything that he has done before and since, as well as some of the other things he has said during his campaign (disavowing socialism outside of the Nordic model), he is very clearly a socdem at best.

    The whole fucking point of socialism is that you won’t get there by taking incremental steps from liberalism.

      Bernie was the most earnest, good faith attempt at saving the empire the ruling class could ever expect to come from the proletariat. From here on out, they can only expect the gravity shave. By crushing Bernie, they demonstrated that they aren’t even acting rationally, and there is no way you can negotiate with an irrational counterpart.

        Bernie’s a center right socdem anywhere in Europe and even that had bougies on TV crying about being executed in Central Park
