Bernie, the best president the USA never had.
...he'd've resoundingly trounced trump if the democratic party hadn't conspired against him in 2016, but if he won the executive the democratic party would have done everything in their power to make sure his administration was no more effectual than carter's...
I fear for her safety. I hope she stays safe.
I'm educated enough in American politics to understand elusive news about Musk ans Trump but about not that Bernie guy. Is that a first or last name and what was the point of the rally? Also is a rally like a démonstration?
It's a first name. He's a politician somewhere between PS and UDI on the spectrum, so for Americans he is an extreme radical leftist, for normal people a basically sensible centrist with some heart. Has a cult following for a long time, seems like a nice guy probably.
A rally is like a demonstration but with establishment politicians speaking.
so for Americans he is an extreme radical leftist
literally only right wingers would call him that.
That description is a bit tongue in cheek, but most Americans would call him far left or whatever they think is a non pejorative way to say the same thing. Just look at this very thread, you have people calling him a socialist and "truly left", they are not right wingers, or at least they wouldn't think of themselves that way, and you probably wouldn't either. And like, yeah, he has some lefty ideas, but globally speaking he runs a pretty centrist platform. I guess it's necessary in America, supporting trade unions and healthcare is as far left as you can go, maybe his personal views are a bit better and it is just a calculation.
...which are essentially the entire electorate and media apparatus supporting both parties...
Bernie Sanders is a Senator for the state of Vermont. Be has run for president and went pretty far on a socialist platform. Far enough that when you refer to him by his first name while discussing politics, just about every American knows who you are talking about. If there is a truly left wing politician in American government, it's Bernie. And while it doesn't say a lot about the state of things, it does say quite a bit that so many people showed up to hear him speak.
