      Genocide supporter Bernie Sanders who wants to keep sending weapons to Israel during a genocide does not have any leftist fans. It has nothing to do with tankies.

      Bernie is only furthering solidifying his image as an establishment liberal.

        When did he support sending weapons? I thought he even introduced bills to stop sending them.

      Marxists having a problem with Bernie acting as a sheepdog for the DNC isn’t a good thing for Bernie. Further, this isn’t “RT propaganda,” it’s a clip of Bernie himself. Are you saying Bernie is RT propaganda, or quoting him is the propaganda?

          Bernie calling the GOP “Stalinist” is deeply unserious behavior, and Bernie’s role has been historically to serve as a sheepdog for the DNC. He opposes the DNC like Chomsky opposes the US, loud critique until it comes time to toe the party line. Correctly pointing out that Bernie calling the GOP “Stalinist” is absurd is not “parroting Russian propaganda.”
