Bernie Sanders Receives Praise From Left And Right For Charlie Kirk Message: ‘Best Take I’ve Seen’ - Lemmy.ca

“Cmon guys, talk it out! Now is not the time to enact political violence against Nazis who are continually stripping you of your rights and freedoms! Actually the fact you haven’t talked to them enough and changed their minds means you’re weak!”

🤨 OK Bernie.

Well, yeah, if you reframe what he actually said into something totally different, obviously it's not going to make a lot of sense.

American people at the local, state, and federal levels, and we hold free elections in which the people decide what they want

Do you think elections are what the people decide? I love Bernie, but he is out of touch now.

Bernie is defusing a highly explosive situation and doing that very well. Good work, I say.
A centrist would agree with him. Bernie has accomplished nothing to stop fascism. More cheap talk, no successes.
Maybe he’s accomplished nothing to stop fascism with this specific quote, but to suggest that he hasn’t for his entire career is a little silly.
I love Bernie. But, we have fascism. So the efforts of anyone fighting fascism this far have failed.
Yeah, we have it now and not at any point in the last 50+ years, in part due to him.
That’s a fair assessment… but his words now are out of date.
