Listen man, there are 100 senators. If you wanted to drag on any of them for not being progressive enough, I'm sure you can find something to complain about each of them.
All I'm saying is dragging on the ones who have a history of pushing for civial rights might not be the best choice. The only result you get from this thinking is more capitalist nut jobs.
But maybe you know that and are just being disengenous?
Bernie Sanders has a history advocating for genocide. You are extremely disingenuous.
What Bernie Sanders is doing here is what Chuck Sumer says their job is: keeping the left pro Israel.
He has said many anti Israel things. As the other poster is saying, why go after the farthest left politician and not any of the others? Unless your goal is to discredit the left.
Bernie is a milquetoast centrist. Not a leftist.
Bernie gets flak because he hijacks the progressive movement to justify Apartheid.
But why aren't you attacking other politicians who are worse, according to your statement?
How about Lindsey Graham? You got anything to say about him? Chuck Schumer seems to check all your boxes but you're still going on about Bernie.
Is Lindsey Graham poisoning the well of the progressive movement?
Bernie can get his credit where it is due. And he will get his criticism where it is due.
You seem like the type that won't be happy until a politician does specifically, exactly what YOU want them to do and anything short of that is failure.
Which is one of the big reasons for how we got in this mess in the first place.
By people like the other person constantly compromising with the right you mean.
You seem like the type willing to compromise with Nazis.
Card carrying Nazi puncher, years of experience. Say what you like kid, you're getting bodied on vote count.
You can do without the term "puncher".
I hope that this is just you having a bad day, and that you aren't genuinely this miserable. You're really worked up
Say something negative about Chuck Schumer.
Chuck Shchumer is almost as good at keeping the left pro-Israel as Bernie Sanders.
