@mattcropp Do you know any Mastodon instances where discussion about any US politicians is blocked by default? https://unixcorn.xyz/media/Se5PWiOci76YOK_4ZtQ

@vruz as a constituent, #Bernie's accomodation to the #Empire has always been his major flaw (#SocialImperialism, #MIC jobs, etc.). Nonetheless, this was a moment of him conceding a bit of ground to his left flank here in #Vermont... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@mattcropp Best of luck mate.

@vruz 🍻

@vruz You might find interesting this debate from #1990 in the run up to the first #GulfWar between Sanders and Diamondstone, who were close allies in the 1970s, but broke w/ each other in the late '70s when Sanders moved towards the center and got elected Mayor:

@mattcropp I don't know much of Sanders' early story beyond the mythologisation of that time his fanatics have recreated as platitudinal recruitment device. But I have read enough about his dealings with Lockheed Martin to be nauseated whenever I'm unlucky enough to read his name. That being said, thanks for sharing, and I will watch when I recover 😁

@vruz It's been a running tension through the #Vermont left since the 1980s - fights over a gatling gun plant in the 1980s (peace mvmt vs. union jobs), Serbia in 1990s http://www.libertyunionparty.org/?page_id=363 , #sandia a decade ago, and fights over the #F35 most recently.

I'm a history geek and live here, so I can drone on... 🤓
