    Yes, he’s old and still fighting.

    And according to you, Bernie is unpopular because no one voted for him. He’s still going out and about.

    Harris and Clinton were unpopular, and they’re doing…?

    So is Bernie unpopular? Why is he drawing crowds and trying to fight Trump, drawing in more crowds than either of Trump’s inaugurations or any speeches? And if Harris is unpopular, why isn’t she doing the same?

        Right, Trump is in control of the US. Trump is actively tearing apart the government. He’s somehow busy wrecking everything and still whining on Twitter or Truth Social about how everything bad with tarrifs is Biden’s fault and everything good despite Trump is his success.

        Bernie is still fighting despite his party not being in the majority. Bernie is still doing rallies.

        Harris isn’t in any office, Bernie is. Clinton isn’t in any office, Bernie is. Same with AOC. Out there doing national rallies to build numbers to at least get a voice of “Let’s end Trump.” They haven’t left office.

        Bernie is actively at least showing up to his job, and still finding time to go outside and do things. How does this invalidate my statement? Bernie is helping, Harris is doing nothing. Bernie is trying to gather people to stop Trump, Clinton isn’t doing anything.

          Bernie started his political career in 1981 as the mayor of Burlington, Vermont

          Forty-four years later he’s rallying.

          Trump started his political career in 2016 as president.

          Nine years later he is still president and took over the US government.

                They are an absolute nonce. And should at best be ignored and at second best asked like a grade schooler “So” or “Why” to break down their point that only sounds like something smart.

                    Oh .world communities are definitely the new worse place on Lemmy.

                    Very US school system where you blame those being picked on for not leaving and no longer making it a problem for them that you exist rather than clean up their own messes because it’s easier to pretend bullies need to be appeased.

                    I one time got a mod to admit through what felt like gritted teeth that I hadn’t officially broke any “niceness” rules but were going to temp ban me anyways cause my reports of the .world user threatening me and inventing lies to slander me with was annoying.
