Cultists? Huh
I don't care you criticized f Bernie Sanders the whole point of this primary . I responded Yesterday to a statement that many people did not understand which was " The only people who want Sanders to be president are either fools dreaming of 'free money' and Russians mobsters"
Which if you want to explain to me I'm all ears brother
But it seems that your problem isn't really lift Bernie Sanders international appeal but more with his supporters. .
I definitely did not get that sentiment from your reply, nor is using bold on someone's post very visible on black theme and smaller screens.
And I have since been warned for it, since it was a bit over the line, which means that I must leave it at that.
However, I will humor it just once in the hopes that this will be the end of it. So, considering the response to CNN's effort to start shit between Warren and Sanders during the last debate, there is definitely something wrong with the online support Sanders seems to have. Whether that would be an all-American audience with a heavy sexist element to it, or a non-American audience that seeks to divide and conquer like in 2016, is honestly not the important part. The important part is that the people most 'conflicted' about voting for him, live in Trumpland (see a different thread), and are literally all-or-nothing in terms of getting him or going for Trump.
Which means that this white moderate vote cannot be trusted and should probably not be preached to since they will happily swing to the worst possible outcome.
I have never enjoyed the idea of Sanders running again because of how easy this type of vote can be messed with, and lead to irreparable damage to the actual candidate by the end of it, leading to a repeat of the 2016 election.
And, while people choose to ignore this, Sanders's foreign policy would work in Putin's favor (and SA's, and Iran's). And since don't seem to understand what kind of man that is, to put it simply: this is not the type of mobster you want to give anything to. Like the presidency of the USA. Or the Senate.
Which means he is not the best choice for the rest of the world. And without US support, Russia's continued war on Ukraine will not just continue, but get emboldened to the point where it will involve the EU directly.
With Brexit now official, it's really only a matter of time before we see more aggression anyway.
To say that the USA has no part in all of this, is simply ignoring the realities of today's world and the 75 years of US soft power creating the balance we have today. If anything, the Kurdish response to the USA pulling out and the immediate response by Turkey should have shown people that this "dove" shit is going to get way more people killed than a gradual one.
And then there are the Facebook approved (TM, Mark Zuckerberg) genocides to consider...
That will be all for me on this one. Of course I want better lives for everyone, but not every policy is equal in getting us there.
Btw, the real victory for the USA in the 2020 election will be flipping the Senate and finally getting rid of Moscow Mitch's influence.
