Not by himself, using the millions of progressive-leaning Americans who want him and his platform. He doesn't need to straight up cut them off, but Bernie could and should have used his influence with the American electorate to take a more hardline approach with the Democrats. This is exactly what much weaker rightwing Dems or independents do, and it works. Meanwhile what Bernie does clearly isn't working. I mean in terms of his platform, what has Bernie actually done? His platform is immensely popular yet his deference to the liberal establishment means he can barely get any of it done. Just because he caucuses with the Democrats doesn't mean he needs to obey their every whim. You can't effect change—especially leftwing change—by being nice.

One of the very few good things he's doing.
(taking it from at least a regional powerhouse and functioning country that could accomplish significant things, to being a pariah state that barely functions in the first place even internally.)
Say what you want about Putin but he has been pretty successful in getting Russia back into the global game after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Now he's mostly doing this by dragging everyone else down so your average Russian is gaining exactly zilch from any of this, but when you look at the state of democracy all over the West you can't say he reduced Russia's international influence.
The Bernie-Trump pipeline is a thing. MAGA is fueled by social and economic uncertainty, and unlike the Dem establishment Bernie actually offers solutions to those things. The problem is that solutions from the left are incessantly shut down by the establishment (with little resistance from progressive leaders) while "solutions" from the right are embraced by it (and when they aren't, the right actually fights to change that), so undereducated people in red states see two realistic choices, one that has solutions for their troubles and one that doesn't. My point being that plenty of Republican voters only vote red because the blue side offers them exactly nothing, not because they want an all-white ethnostate. Theoretically that group has no reason to hate Bernie.
They're also killing their hostages in Gaza so they're consistent about that I guess. I bet those guys are so happy they're dead rather than still in KHAMAS!!! captivity.
Excellent article, also death to America.
Nah, ten years ago they were a threat to America. Now they're actively (and successfully) killing it.
Good start, but then you have to ask: Where is the opposition to the genocide? Where are the people horrified by the genocide being committed by their compatriots and taking to the streets? Where are the opposition politicians attacking Bibi for committing genocide?
This goes way beyond Netanyahu's supporters; even people who oppose him for corruption and anti-democratic behavior tend to support him, or at least toe the line, when it comes to the war.
Wow, I did not expect that.
I mean you do you but people can have thoughts idependent of the files.
All of it stems from colonialism and Western meddling you mean. Who do you think gave Palestine to the Zionists?
