Sen. Bernie Sanders Offers A Message Of Unity To Republican Voters: "Let Us Work Together"

[@Metonymy1979]

Bernie is always on point

[@cheekoandtheman]

Very sad Rupert Murdoch has brainwashed much of America to hate him and love the very trump that makes their lives hard

[@cheekoandtheman]

@David Fitch Murdoch = Carthage Must Be Destroyed so bad that even 10 million years later bacteria would not dare grow where his house once was!!!!!

[@nonnomir]

@@cheekoandtheman See... that's the illness democracy has. IMHO the point is NOT to exclude people like Trump or Murdoch from the right to express their opinion. The point is people has to be EDUCATED to politics. People has to understand what a person is really saying, if he's telling lies and how, but at the moment they don't (btw, that's why people like Trump has success in depressed areas). The disconnection between politics and people all around the world (I'm from Italy and in some ways we are living same kind of problem) is due not to the fact that wrong people can express "wrong opinions", but to the fact that people can't distinguish between an opinion and a lie. Can you solve immigration problems? No, you can't. You can for sure mitigate them, help integration, let the immigration impact be smoother, but for sure not cancel it. If it comes somebody that says: "I will stop immigration", the point is not that he can't say that, but that people can understand it's a lie. edit: orthography

[@Miblive]

@@nonnomir I agree with you, but the question is, how do you educate people who refuse to be educated? You said you are Italy and I´ll bet you are catholic and worship a Pope. Would you be willing to be educated about, using your words," the illness" of a religion? Specially, the catholic church? I´m gonna take a wild guess here and say NO.

[@nonnomir]

@@Miblive i am not religious and sincerely i don't get your point about religion. I don't think you got mine about "illness". Responding your question about how do you educate people that doesn't want to be educated: through interests. If people partecipation counts, means they can see effects of their actions on their interests. If people count just when they vote and don't have a real place to partecipate to politics in an effettive way, they will be ignorant and hopless about their needs at the point they will belive that the only way to push their interests will be violence.

I agree. I have supported Bernie for more than 20 years, even when he was an obscure Representative from Vermont and most Americans didn't know who he was. And I don't even live in Vermont! I supported him in 2016 and 2020 when he ran for president. He is the real deal. A truly honest, good man who cares about ordinary people. I hope we can keep him around for a while, because we need him.

[@derAlphabet]

I have the sad feeling, that the people who should listen to this, won't.

[@fredsummers1004]

Maybe because there was a +30 MILLION vote swing from the last election 4 years ago! If you look at vote totals for every election they are similar in progression around 2 million every election except Obamas 2008 election was +8 Million (That had alot to do with him being the 1st black president) But then in 2012 Obama vs Romney the vote total dropped -2.4 MILLION (Based on Obamas 1st term as Romney received more votes than McCain) Point is you can go all the way back to George Washington there has NEVER been a +30 MILLION difference in 4 years. New voters are registered every year but old registered voters die. It's literally impossible to get that many people registered in 4 years. That's only one red flag! There are plenty of other events that happened along te way that points to fraud so Trump has merit to call them out. And I understand why his supporters are angry.

[@derAlphabet]

@@fredsummers1004 1. Maybe 30 Mio people changing their vote might have something to do with the candidates. To change one's vote is a privilege of a democracy. 2. A red flag is a warning sign. Nothing more. If even GOP officials and so many courts and national and international journalists couldn't find any hint to systemic manipulation, it might just be that, it might just be, that 30 Mio people voted differently. And when even some of the president's fiercest supporters, like fox news or at last also the vice president acknowledge that Biden won, then no, we don't have to acknowledge these allegations anymore. They were heard, they were dismissed, there was no serious hint to systemic manipulation. Just because something is repeated, doesn't make it truthful.

Yeah, just would've loved it more if this message of peace had been given during the past nine months when BLM rioters did over two billion in damages, killed dozens, and even trashed a Ronald McDonald House with cancer kids inside in Chicago in August. I mean, if you're just going to ignore it when left wing terrorists destroy their neighbors, this comes off as the most disingenuous pile of garbage possible. I know, that if my family was murdered by a guy in a Biden shirt, nobody here would care, but if the guy had a Trump shirt on, I'd be all over the national news. People didn't even care when minorities lost lives or lost their businesses to left wing rioters... I mean, you can't pretend to be the "good guys" now after ignoring that.

[@dysamoria]

Most of us DO deserve him. The system is so rigged that we hardly get excused for voting for him, or Green Party candidates. Stein voters got thrown in with misogynists for not liking Clinton, and it makes no sense at all (don't even get me started on the self-fulfilling prophecy of "the Green Party will never get the vote"). We figuratively had a gun held to our heads to vote for Biden over a third party back in 2020 and the DNC is fully culpable in that threat. The duopoly is killing us, and we don't really have the freedom to effect change when those parties have ensured their dominance and closed the doors to any alternatives. Biden won because people like me threw up our hands and voted for him because this country needed immediate triage, and desperately needed to oust Trump.

Correction. Bernie was who they needed, Trump is what they deserved. The system is broken, which is why there is a Trump.

He would have lost. Easily.

If only you Americans would understand that you need a president for the people, not for the money.

[@sandybathwater8385]

Problem is the money has control of at least a quarter of the minds. Systematically taught that education=commie brain wash, that credentialed fact based reporting is false, they pander to fear, greed, racism, fear, grievance, class anxiety, ...anything that can provide a channel to separation from reason, with that separation from reason, they can say "don't trust anyone, only we will tell you the truth", many start with doubts but their new sense of belonging outweigh any dissonance and they double down and pattern match to the revolution.

[@sandybathwater8385]

@esflxian the elite that control the money is the problem money by itself is just a tool to approximate value, I think that is necessary for our civiliztion. Money will always buy power, it's up to us to maintain a government that balances that with the needs of a growing civiization. Obcenely consentrated wealth is a sign that the system is broken, I like money, I want it... but not at the expense of those who would rather focus on other things. Sorry I got carried away, I mean to say that I agree.

[@immortalfae13]

Honestly......You actually think we don't know that already!!! Why do you think 81 MILLION people stood up & voted that lying, grifting, sack of sh*t out??

[@charliemurphy6979]

Yes check out Obama’s net worth. It’s also not a problem only with presidents however politicians both dem and rep being corrupt and that have amassed great wealth for themselves.

[@deprofundis3293]

MOST of us do understand that. That's why we voted Trump out. But it's not like half of us haven't been voting that way for decades. Please be precise when you insult, ok? Don't generalize about a country this massive. If the west coast could break away w/o severely damaging the rest of the country, I think we would. But they depend on us...despite how much the Right doesn't acknowledge the risk of losing us.

The DNC took it from Bernie. Everyone's talking about the election being stolen from Trump, but it was truly stolen from Bernie Sanders. And that isn't some conspiracy theory... the DNC openly admitted to rigging the primaries, claiming that they gave the right to do it under "free speech."

[@SamWeltzin]

@@SplendidFellow Yeah. Legally, they were allowed to steal that election, and they did. There's no repercussion because they're a private organization and primary elections are a formality when they can just appoint whomever they want, but I'll be damned if it doesn't reflect on them poorly for actually doing so.
