One of the biggest obstacles facing workers issues in the US is the disproportionate representation that corporate interests recieve, due to funding campaigns indirectly through citizens united. Bernie highlights the end of citizens’ united, and public funding for political campaigns as key pathways to fix the outsized political impact of corporate interests

As long as corporate interests bankroll political campaigns, the people we can vote for will be elected partially at the behest of companies, and will have a conflict of interest in representing American workers

      Also Bernie Sanders:

      “Cruel and illegal war on Gaza must end, we must block arms sales to Israel”

      That doesn’t seem right “Sanders on Ending Unfettered Military Aid to Israel and Restoring UNRWA Funding”

      WASHINGTON, April 23 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today spoke on the floor of the U.S Senate regarding his strong opposition to the provision of $8.9 billion in unfettered offensive military aid to the Israeli extremist government, led by Prime Minister Netanyahu, to continue his unprecedented assault on the Palestinian people.

      May I see your source on Sanders wanting to cleanse Palestine?

      Honest question, is his record on palestine mixed? He’s made a lot of pro palestine comments but if there’s nuance to whether he’s supported them, or where he’s drawn the line I’d be interested to know about it

        For the sake of being clear, Bernie has criticized Israel very explicitly and has condemned their violence more than the vast majority of US politicians, please don’t just take what that random guy said at face value.

        Its entirely possible Bernie has a mixed record on Palestine or isn’t a perfect representative (I’d need to go look at primary sources and ideally voting records), but the person who left that comment is likely just expressing their anger at feeling like there’s not more they can do to help, knowing that innocent lives are being lost

        Hopelessness that has turned into bitterness is understandable in the current global political landscape but isn’t a good source of credible information

        Edit: not gonna go check voting records cause I would have to learn how and barely have the emotional energy to feed myself right now, but here’s a quote from sanders’ website

        “What is happening right now in Gaza is horrendous, it is inhumane, and it is a gross violation of American and international law,”

        Here is the page the quote is from, which at a glance explains that as a Jewish American, Bernie is in a unique position to criticize the actions of the Israeli government https://www.sanders.senate.gov/in-the-news/sen-bernie-sanders-has-become-a-leading-critic-of-israels-war-in-gaza/
