Bernie Sanders 2020

Who's hand is that, and what's it doing?

Looks like it's Bernies' equivalent of the MAGA hat.

Actually, that's a very imaginative piece of metal artwork. I like it very much.

I need to get one of those!!! My t-shirts and one button need some bling.

I'm guessing it's a one-off by some artist. But if you find a source, let me know. I'd like one too.

A person I don't know displayed that ring on Twitter.

You're proud of yourself, aren't ya.

I'm proud of the progressive agenda.

Me too though I'm not sure "proud" is the best word choice. But I'm in the cheering section with pom poms.

I view this cycle as perhaps the final chance to stop the coup that is currently ongoing from the right.

1. No. You are wrong.

2. That is not the definition of democracy.

3. Not even close.

4. Not even remotely close to the correct definition of democracy.

1. The things you are criticizing the democrats for, you should be aggressively criticizing the republicans for.

2. I have a very clear memory of Obama nomination to the supreme court, Merrick Garland, being held up by the Mitch Mconnell's republican senate for a year.

3. One year later, after the republicans attained total control of the House, the Senate, and White House, the republicans then rammed through Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court with strong opposition by the democrats.

4. I have a clear memory of the republicans ramming through their very unpopular tax cut that primarily benefitted the wealthy in
December 2017 with strong opposition by the democrats.

5. I also seem to remember that every time President Obama would move to the center to appease the republicans, the republicans would immediately move the goal post. I seem to remember this being a reoccurring theme in the Obama administration.

6. Let's not forget about republican "Moscow" Mitch McConnell's statement on the following video:

I’m thrilled at the prospect of having the first Jewish president who’s not a slave to Israel, whose family was murdered in the Holocaust.

I used to be allinfor Israel when they were the world’s underdog—because they quickly evolved into the oppressor.

I think Bernie is absolutely correct re Israel.

I don't understand how Israel flipped politically and theirs became the sort of government they were fleeing from.

I think they’re a parallel to us. Germany and Japan thought we were ripe for the picking during my daddy’s lifetime.

During my lifetime, we’ve become the great fear of the world.

It’s a sincere tragedy. In both cases.

Wooohooo!!!

The good guys are winning.

Bernie Sanders Gets a Hometown Welcome at J Street

You don't have to be the only Jewish candidate for president to get a wildly enthusiastic reception from the nation's leading liberal pro-Israel group. But it helps.

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont had barely walked onto the stage at the national conference of J Street, a group dedicated to a Middle East peace that includes justice for both Jews and Palestinians, when thousands of people in the packed ballroom leapt to their feet and cheered.

And Sanders said he wasn't going to take a seat either, though that was the format for the q-and-a sessions with Democratic presidential candidates. With a heart attack, schmart attack wave of his hands, Sanders said "it's hard to talk when you're sitting," and chatted animatedly about Israel, his Jewish heritage and peace while also dismissing any residual worries about his health.

"I'm very proud to be Jewish and look forward to being the first Jewish president!" Sanders said, drawing one of many standing ovations from the group. "As a people who have suffered for century after century…if there is any people on earth who understand the dangers of racism and white nationalism, it is certainly the Jewish people."


"And if there is any people on earth who should do everything humanly possible to fight against (President Donald) Trump's effort to divide us up by the color of our skin, or language, or where we were born, if there's any group on earth that should be trying to bring people together around a common and progressive agenda, it is the Jewish people," Sanders thundered.

When one of the moderators – the younger Ben Rhodes, who was deputy national security adviser to former President Barack Obama – said he didn't think he could stand for the entire session, the 78-year-old Sanders responded, "I don't want to raise the age issue!"

Sanders was clearly in his element, both in terms of his personal story and his politics. He talked about his trips to Israel, about his father's family most of whom were killed in the Holocaust – and his months working on a kibbutz when he was a youngster.

And when it came to policy towards and in concert with Israel, Sanders had an approving audience.

Hell, I am wondering how the U.S. Government turned so far off from where it was a few decades back.

“He has absolutely infuriated the liberal establishment by committing a major crime,” Chomsky said, explaining that the Democratic elite is not opposed to Sanders just because they don’t like his policies, but because he has managed to build a powerful movement of activists willing to participate in the political process.

As a fake democrat?
