Eighty-two-year-old liberal US Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont announced Monday that he is running for re-election, saying American democracy is in question

quote:

In an announcement video, he said that, in many ways, the 2024 election “is the most consequential election in our lifetimes.”

“Will the United States continue to even function as a democracy, or will we move to an authoritarian form of government?”


Listen.

Pretty rich coming from a man who has made a fortune doing nothing more than campaigning for election. A champion of the working man.

Calls himself a socialist/communist yet says he wants to preserve democracy.

Anyone voting for/supporting this loon deserves whatever happens.

“I wrote a best-selling book. If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire, too,” he recently told the New York Times, striking a downright Trumpian note.”

But this also helps.

Once a socialist, always a socialist.

Bernie doesn’t sound too different than Hitler.

You're confusing irony and idiocracy with pathological political hypocrisy ... which is the root of all evil.

He wants the populace to be able to select their tyrants.

1. Democracy is not mutually exclusive from either of those systems. In fact, the more of a true democracy (populism) you have, the more likely the Great Unwashed will vote for versions of those two.

2. Case in point, he doesn't call himself a communist or socialist. He calls himself a democratic socialist.

There's nothing ironic or self-contradictory about his stances.
