Bernie Sanders doubles down that people are ‘angry’ with Dems after Pelosi said she didn’t ‘respect’ his remarks

Pelosi should just gtfo and become a stock broker. She's unusually good at trading stocks for some obscure reason.

(The reason is insider trading)

We know they don't respect Sanders.

Exhibit A: Picking Hilary.

They RFK'd him.

I'm not upset Bernie was criticized - no one should be above a good-faith critique and ideas should be judged on merit as opposed to who says them. The reason I disagree with Pelosi is that I think Sanders made some damn good points, and if the Dems don't listen they are going to fail again.

This is where Pelosi proves Bernie right just by talking.

Pelosi is the best example of what's wrong with Dems. Literally enriched herself off the pain and suffering of the working class and poor.

Pelosi’s response kinda proves that the DNC is just the other side of the shit coin running the funhouse arcade game of American democracy

Lmfao imagine being aligned with pelosi and thinking you're right.

Pelosi's attitude is a big reason why

She believes voters work for her and need to do what she wants or she scolds them, afterwards they'll listen.

Bernie believes the best way to get elected is to show voters you'll help them.

One method is very effective, it's just foreign governments, billionaires, and corporations pay a lot of money to make sure candidates like that never make it out of a primary.

If an elected official put the average voter first, where does that leave the wealthy?

Not first? Completely unacceptable, Thurston get my mink we're leaving.

Unfortunately his whole political career has been the democrats telling him he’s wrong as they continually shoot themselves in their collective dick.

I, for one, will be writing in his name, voting third party or not at all until they give me a genuinely progressive candidate. Until then, fuck them, and fuck this country.

The Pelosi interview is honestly batshit insane. She doesn't see the election as a rejection of the party, thinks the Democrats are doing well, Kamala Harris did everything right, Sanders is wrong, and then she made some backhanded comments about how Biden should have dropped out earlier. I know some of that is spin she that she has to say, but it's still deeply out of touch.

No Nancy. You and your DNC are wrong and that is why you lost the presidency, senate, and house.

Fake party.

I don't respect Pelosi.

So long as she can keep trading on insider information I seriously doubt that she cares.

"do you really think that the Democratic party is going to the mat… and fighting for you?"

Forget about me, or the working class, the Democratic party doesn't actually fight for anything.

2000 election stolen in Florida? Ho hum, oh well... we'll get 'em next time! (2004 election stolen in Ohio...)

You rightly nominated a Supreme Court Justice but the Senate refuses to give them a hearing? Oh well! Guess we'll just have to win the 2016 election...

I'm not American, and I can't vote in US elections. Bernie Sanders is one of few US political figures that I respect the opinions of.

I don't know what Pelosi is smoking, but it has to be some good shit.

Shes nodding to the corporste over lords. She's saying:

don't worry, we will never betray your riches kisses feet we will fight for your continued market dominance and wealth inequality

Will be writing my reps later today and I sent a few bucks to Bernie since I figure what better way to tell a politician they're barking up the right tree?

I know online petitions are generally cringe but if there was one backing up Bernie's stance here and telling the Dems to get their heads out of their own asses, I'd sign it in a heartbeat. If other people feel similarly, maybe we should get the ball rolling? Best case Dems get the message, worst case we waste our time and nothing changes, right?

The Republicans are doing zero for the working class other than lying to them and giving their money yo billionaires.

Dems supported unions where Trump impugned them

Dems forgave student loans, Republicans went to court to stop it

Dems pushed to end noncompetes for the average worker, Republicans went to court to stop it

Dems passed the CHIPS act to bring good paying jobs to multiple communities

Dems passed an infrastructure bill while Trump had 100 infrastructure weeks that accomplished nothing

Trump said he'd fire workers rather than pay them overtime

Harris promised to investigate price gouging, Trump is supported by the oligarchy

Etc, etc

Well I don't respect Pelosi, so I feel like we've got balance here

Big bussiness is scared that if given the chance bernie would win and they cant risk that.

Honestly call or email the Democratic party

Do it because it will be cathartic, but don't do it expecting them to listen. Progressives need a new tack if we're actually going to save humanity from ourselves. (Spoiler, we probably won't)

Anyone got the DNC's number?

Pelosi needs to fade away into the sunset

It is a rare moment when you can pinpoint issues that Bernie Sanders was on the wrong side of, even with the benefit of hindsight. Because of that, I have more faith in Bernie Sanders' wisdom than any other politician at the moment.

Sanders is right, and people are right to be.

Political parties are private institutions and should not be in a position to shape American policies at all. Having a two party system allows centralized control over everyone else in the given party. If elected officials feel pressured to fall in line then they're not fighting for the American people, they're fighting for their own political party.

When future generations (of alien colonists on our dead world) update the story of Cassandra, the main character will be changed to Bernie

lol. Don’t fuck with Bernie.

Things are going to get vicious for sure.

People are stupid. They are mad at democrats so they allowed a fascist to take power so they will never have another free election again and things will only change for the worse with no chance of them getting better.

Non voters in this election were as dumb as Trump voters.

So now I join the ranks calling Pelosi bitch?

Honestly call or email the Democratic party offices and voice that you one hundred percent agree with Sanders.

Pelosi is Democrat leadership. She is responsible for the supreme court running rampant, kamala, and the war on drugs still being a thing. She deserves to be hung as a traitor to the republic. Furious. We are furious at her. I'm angry at my dog for pissing on the couch. I'm furious at Pelosi.

Where has this version of Bernie been for the last 4 years?

Did that Wednesday past.

All sides are using Bernie to bash Democrats, and I don't like it.

Cunt... the American unfriendly version.

I frankly think that while Bernie should be right, he's not. His strategy would have also failed, though I'd rather that have been the attempt.

Simple fact of the matter is that out of 10 major countries with elections this year, all the incumbents lost. Didn't matter whether they were left or right or whatever, they lost. Democrats were doomed by being the incumbents at a time when just so many are unhappy with how things currently are, and people are eager to change everything for a shot. Between having the pandemic become endemic everywhere, economies struggling to digest the massive COVID stimulus, supply chains still off due to both recovering from shutdowns and war, and just the overall situation in Ukraine and Gaza, there's a lot for people to want a change of course, and they don't know specifically how this all could get fixed.

Even if they went all-in on more leftist policies, most voters won't see beyond the 'D' and know 'D' is what we had today, therefore 'R' must be attached to the answer. A critical mass of the electorate either can not or will not critically consider the respective platforms and instead just decide based on 'keep the same' or 'change course'.

Meanwhile, in political circles, everyone is talking like the specifics and strategies made this huge difference or that huge difference and what it means, when the fact is likely that this result was pretty much a given no matter what.

So, if I've got this right...

Bernie blames all the Democrats. I'm sure he's glad he isn't one today.

Pelosi blames Biden, and doesn't respect Bernie.

Biden will blame someone in his biography, which he's waiting patiently to start.

Harris is wondering who to blame, and is probably writing her own book.
