And Bernie’s citizenship had been revoked and he is being deported back to…. New York City?

will be rejected by %90 of democrats %100 of republicans
- I think the point is to get names of politicians who have been otherwise trying to avoid publicly taking a position on the public-record.
  
  all those names! the world is saved!

Should have been president.

Extremely common Bernie W

I keep wondering why the "Genocide Joe" folk aren't now screeching about "Genocide Donald".
- Let me help you. No one saying Genocide Bibi. Because they are “public” about their goal. Joe on the other hand, “pretend” about stopping them but at the same time allowing them to commit war crime and blocking all votes in the us.
  So yes no need to say Genocide Trump because he doesnt even hide.
  
  You are putting way too much effort into explaining people being used for ampliganda.
  Regardless of who would get elected, weapons would flow into israel.
  Saying Genocide Joe felt good. Because it was designed to feel good. Like every piece of ampliganda.
  Get over it.
- Point me to anyone on Lemmy supporting Trump or denying his role in the genocide and I promise I'll give them an earful. But otherwise it would be like randomly screaming, "MURDERING PUPPIES IS BAD!" like chill, pretty sure we're all on the same page about that. The difference is that there's a bunch of people on here who think murdering puppies is fine if the person doing it has a (D) next to their name.
- Either you are blind or don't want to hear it. People have been calling out Trump for this genocide since day one. Heck, there's hundreds of posts doing that right now on Lemmy
  
  Neither of those assumptions are true. Perhaps I'm just too good at blocking this stuff. The only "genocide Don" stuff I've seen is in my own posts.
- I imagine this is a rhetorical question. I am fairly certain most of those "people" if you want to call them that were not actual people, and those who were were groomed and misled into parroting those talking points to weaken something closer to "democratic" leadership, and strengthen the hand of those who are ready to move past democracy and all its pesky laws that they have to navigate in their subjugation of all but the ultra wealthy. I imagine they are the same "people" who would classify Sanders as a "massive disappointment".
- They were throwing a wedge to get Trump elected. We all knew it. Beware the same tactics before every election. They do it because it works.
  
  For people downvoting this.
  Genocide Joe uses the same mechanic as DEI, or MAGA. It is an ampliganda slogan.
  It was used for a political purpose. Elections.
  Yall need to realize this and move on.

Reminder this is only for offensive weapons. Sanders has no problem sending interceptors to defend the Nazis against any repercussions for their crimes.
And Sanders still refuses to call it a genocide.
And Sanders recently voted to block all funding to the Gazan government and do everything possible to overthrow them.
- He did call it ethnic cleansing and a war crime:

  What was the vote on blocking funding to the Gazan government, could not find it online?
  
  Not the word genocide crucially. Also:
  Notice how Bernazi blames Netanyahu not Israel. And history starts on October 7. This despicable man will not stop denouncing the resistance.
  This is the resolution:
  Here is a post the explaining the resolution Bernie voted for; to endorse Israel invading Gaza again by calling everything Hamas https://x.com/zei_squirrel/status/1901613006875725952
- Well that's disappointing.
  
  Sanders is a massive disappointment people should really move on from him. AOC as well.
- If you pro-palestinian folks could get out of your own way for one second perhaps you could accomplish something beyond helping republicans win and then getting arrested and/or deported.
  I mean I'm just saying, you're getting your ass kicked and yet you're acting like you get to demand adherence to a utopian vision of what American policy should look like. You understand you have no power right? Maybe try helping your allies that do.
  
  If your politicians do not care about brown people getting genocided then they will not care about you either.
  Nice username by the way.
