Social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism
Death to fascists
Bernie is and has always been a skilled political but at least he is not hypocritical and duplicitous like so many others.
It's not hypocritical or duplicitous to campaign as a progressive against racism but then turn around and support a segregationist's presidential bid, and refuse to call for a ceasefire for months as Israel commits genocide?
no, because what happens if he takes a hard line on this, he looses all his political capital and goes back to being a small fish. Unlike the democrats he does not have a large party backing him he has to make more compromises and pick and choose on the issues that he can meaningfully impact.
Just saying no to everything for ideological reasons alone is what the Republicans do, and we have seen how effective their governance is.
Capital, that thing that you need to never spend because when you spend it you don't get it back. Oh, sorry, that's "The lives of genocide victims", "capital" is something you do spend ("invest") to get more of it.
