Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., told a crowd of thousands at a rally in Los Angeles on Saturday that the U.S. was facing a moment of “extraordinary danger” as he criticized the political, economic and social policies of Donald Trump.
Sanders, who also dropped by the music festival Coachella over the weekend, has been criss-crossing the U.S. to speak out against the new Republican administration.
“We are living in a moment of extraordinary danger,” he said, “and how we respond to this moment will not only impact our lives but will impact the lives of our kids and future generations.”
I’m not missing anything. Maybe you forgot recent history?
To your point, I don’t think republicans are lock step in this issue either. I think there is a significant break between those who support and those who don’t - look at Candace Owens for example. There is also a large contingent who support 0 foreign aid even to the murderers.
I do believe however that thinking anything would move the democrats is naive. They have been telling us for years to shut up and fall in line, and they have done it multiple times to people advocating for Palestine - Bernie did it just this week.
The democrats armed and allowed this all to happen on their watch. They could have shut it down and then Trump wouldn’t be able to continue anything. But they let it happen and continue to happen. This the crux of my position.
They could have stopped it at anytime - anytime a hospital was bombed, anytime a video surfaced of a child being blown away or sniped in the head, anytime one of the bombs Josh Shapiro signed was dropped on a community of destroyed people living in tents, anytime Biden illegally bypassed congress to send more weapons, but they didn’t. This is what people need to realize. They could have stopped it but they didn’t - even with all of the overwhelming evidence that what is/was taking place is evil.
So why would they stop if they won? It’s cognitive dissonance.
You still have faith in democrats while I am looking back at the evidence over my lifetime that says you are better off writing a letter to Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny than getting the democrats to do anything meaningful.
