Better now than never
My point is that I doubt it matters. It’s like getting halfway down a water slide and then saying “hmmm maybe this isn’t a good idea” and then expecting to be able to get off the water slide.
High bar there, you turned against the buregoise weeks before you are systematically killing people with a fash dictator, congrats on the quick reaction very well done totally we totally are going to celebrate your action you are so good and fast
The inertia behind the damage is too much.
Bernie has been fighting for us since he was dragged away protesting in what I think was the veitnam war. He hasn't flip flopped like most of our other leaders or like some pretending to be a rebel wearing sweats.
Maybe, but as I recall, it was a Civil Rights protest. I had to look it up. Back in 1963:

Edit: maybe the most based human being alive at this point.
No didn’t you see the other comments? Bernie is big Pharma… the dems are “controlled”… you should just stop voting….
Bernie my boy, they did not start listening, they started seeing. The psychos are unhinged.
It helps to have so much show for your show and tell, I guess.
