Lady Bunny Instagram – There are only 2 progressive senators: Bernie Sanders and Liz Warren. Neither have called for a ceasefire. This makes these “progressives” further to the right on Israel than 60-80% of voters who want a ceasefire. Both Liz and Bernie were also dishonest Russia hawks, too.
While Bernie is telling the truth in this statement, he’s talking out of both sides of his mouth. Bernie already sold out progressives by endorsing the center-right Biden, who blew off almost everything progressive on his agenda in his first term. Marianne Williamson is the Dem candidate best aligned with Bernie’s former platform, yet Bernie and AOC skipped over her completely to early endorse Biden. You can’t now act concerned about the situation in Gaza if you don’t even have the guts to call for a ceasefire. This whole fiasco has been a mask-off moment for Bernie and most of the Squad. They may spout progressive talking points which I agree with, but when push comes to shove they back Republican-lite candidates like Biden. It would show more backbone to unendorse Joe as much of the world witnesses the horrors of genocide and turns vs the West for backing Israel. | Posted on 26/Jan/2024 03:13:58
