    Why the hell would anti-genocide protesters be protesting Bernie Sanders, the rare jewish voice that has condemned Israel’s war? It goes to show how the biggest unwitting enablers of Israel getting continued support from the US are these edgelord protesters. All they did was piss people off.

    It’s time for everyone on the left to be clear-eyed. Just try to be convincing. That’s the only thing we gotta do differently if we wanna end poverty, war, and live in a literal utopia. Just try being convincing and picking the right hills to die on and not being willfully blind of weak spots, just once.

      this was november. Bernie Sanders didn’t call for a goddamn ceasefire until December 13

      he was in Vermont when the arrests occurred, and I was trying to find out if he was aware of their presence before the arrest, if he’d been involved in the chain that had them arrested, and if he had done anything to help them after they’d been arrested. I’m not sitting here demanding he do anything, I just want to know yes or no to each of those questions and I don’t think that’s unreasonable for an elected official.
