    Say it with me now, boys and girls:

    Sheep. Dog.

    Some fucking independent he is. Gets absolutely hung out to dry by these ghoulish settlers precisely once, and now here he is, shilling and sheepdogging for Killer Kop Kamala. Some fucking “independent”. ACAB; that goes twice for wannabe presidents, and four times for their spineless, servile collaborators.

      Deep breath. Bernie is a politician who sees the world for what it is. He rightly recognizes that there are only two options in this election, and he’s campaigning for the one who’s closer to his ideals. He is never shy about criticizing Harris or any politician from either party, so I think your rage would be more effective if directed at the actual bad actors. We’re days away from the election, so it’s Trump who deserves your anger, not one of the few politicians who actually cares and has consistently been on the right side of history.

        Deep breath.

        Fuck that, don’t fucking condescend to me.

        Wrong, he’s a collaborator in genocide too. Also, there’s 4+ options, unless you’re one of those collaborating settlers who tried to get de la Cruz and Stein taken off the ballot in your state.

        and he’s campaigning for the one who’s closer to his ideals.

        Then he was a liberal all along, and his sheepdogging sham-ass never should’ve presented himself as a socialist alternative. I could’ve gone my whole life without some gladhanding settler fuck giving my information to the DNC; and here the fuck we are.

        so I think your rage would be more effective if directed at the actual bad actors.

        Oh, it is, you smug fuck; all collaborators in and perpetrators of empire are where my ire is aimed.

        so it’s Trump who deserves your anger, not one of the few politicians who actually cares and has consistently been on the right side of history.

        Are you kidding me? Genocide, concentration camps at the southern border, and endless fracking permits are the “right side of history”. God, Amerika’s nuking cannot come fast enough if that’s the case.

        He’s supporting a genocide you ghoul fuck, what the fuck are you talking about. They’re all supporting a genocide, the ultimate crime. You’re supporting a genocide, and all you fucking grinning fascists have to offer anybody is smug condescension. You Good Germans have all earned your place in hell, and you’re probably going to lose in a few days, and you deserve it.
