Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

i see sanders leading dems to wins in 2018 and 2020, but not him specifically running for president. if sanders has to run for president the democrats are in a really bad way. if the dems actually get smart and start following bernie's lead they should be able to turn things around in 2018.

The window for Dems to change their stance to "caring about more than sucking lobbyists' dicks" closed when they elected Perez.

He also re-defined socialism for a generation of people from a big S "Socialism" that is scary and about Russia and failed third world states to instead be a little s "socialism" that's more of a Nordic style "maybe it wouldn't be so bad if workers had rights and there was a social safety net" idea.

aka "welfare liberalism"

I really don't understand how people think that Sanders is a leftist

There are portions of his movement that are leftist, but then you got people posting this type of poo poo

He's considered leftist because he's on the left side of the vast majority of issues.

He attracts nonleftists with his authenticity and appeals to the common man, this does not make him notleftist.

The people railing against capitalism are actually just thinking about our current situation where the government blatantly only serves the interests of rich people because that is what "capitalism" has come to mean, just as "socialism" now means "FDR capitalism"

Aren't you a pretty committed third way neoliberal centrism adherent? Am I confusing you with someone else?

Why should we care what your opinion is on who or who is not a leftist.

Like whatever you argue we know that we should reject it because you wouldn't be arguing it if it was good for the left lmao.

Maybe he was trolling for Hillary at some point and that's how I formed the association.

I don't know where the border is but whatever makes you happy.

I think he's a good guy doin' his best to do good for the common people and insure fundamental left ideals about the dignity, power, and prosperity owed to every person come to pass, so I care less about whether he's actually a socialist than that bit.
