Bernie Sanders doesn't stand for anything in the face of corruption.

Well he campaigned on the right things, mostly, but then rolled over like a doormat for Hillary when the DNC rigged the primaries in 2016

He didn't just roll over. He herded many over to her like, away from Jill Stein or the Libertarians, as the sheepdog limited hangout he is. Now he supports war. WTF?

Yeah it sucks, he's "playing the game" to try and have a chance at winning, but it's screwing everyone over.

Now he supports war.

Source?

Thanks for asking.

I looked, assuming it would be easy. All old fake news try to spin this. Now I'm questioning my sanity. I procrastinated responding figuring it would come to me. Now I'm wondering if it was someone else who flopped. They'd have to be in a similar situation for me to mistake them with Bernie.

Republicans are shit and they don't claim otherwise.

Democrats claim they want to help the people but are shit and liars so they're worse.

I had great hopes for Obama that eroded. Corbett's docu on Obama is only the tip of the iceberg.

I had moderate hopes for Bernie with a decent history. His cowardice hit me hard though. I can't explain it. Maximum squandered potential I guess.

Even if SaidIt sold out, I'd at least understand it, and though I'd feel terribly betrayed it'd pale in comparison to Bernie as I know SaidIt could never have the potential that Bernie had in that critical time.

Since then I've not bothered to remember details about Bernie or the Dems much. They're all part of the corporatocracy. In one ear and out the other. Some sticks.

So due to my recent hard drive pinch I hadn't downloaded my regulars from YouTube, though I was watching many. I feel 95% sure it was on Jimmy Dore, perhaps a live chat (which isn't shared), whatever it was I got wrong. Whether it was someone else or something else Bernie flipped on - or both.

So the good thing is, I'm going to binge all of those shows since Xmas over this week. I was going to anyway. I'm either going to find it or eat it. I curious as hell to find out which.

Yeah I felt similarly at the time when bowed out of the DNC race instead of fighting the rigging.

From the SaidIt chat today, while watching the Saturday weekly live Jimmy Dore Show, I said...

19:13:28 EST JasonCarswell CHOMSKY IS FOR SYRIAN INTERVENTION

19:13:43 JasonCarswell JIMMY DORE SAID IT AGAIN !!!!

19:13:58 JasonCarswell It wasn't BERNIE it was CHOMSKY

19:14:10 JasonCarswell THEY"RE BOTH LIMITED HANGOUTS

19:14:41 JasonCarswell What ever happened to "Hegemony or Survival?"

[–]magnora7[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Chomsky is not for syrian intervention... I'd need to see a lot of proof for that

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

I agree. But Jimmy Dore has said it twice now. His vision may be limited, he may be a limitted hangout, he may be a comedian, but he wouldn't say something like that being such an Aggressive Progressive. It's a big thing to him.

I'm going to start reading: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Chomsky+on+Syria+intervention

There's no shortage so it's better just to sort by the last month rather than getting stuff from years ago.

Can you find a specific article that says he said he wants to invade Syria? Chomsky is pretty unilaterally anti-war, it's kind of his thing. I've read several of his books. I'd be blown away if he was advocating for US intervention in Syria
