The man has been in the stodgy Senate, abiding by its rules for decades, but is suddenly going to become a megalomaniac for good when elected President? Itās a hell of a laugh.
Centrist shitlibs itt just blatantly lying to themselves about how Bernie would use his power so they can feel better about a racist war criminal in office
Guess what , it matters a lot to the imprisoned children which of the two people would be in office. If you donāt think President bernie would be better on United States human rights abuses you are simply too stupid to opine

Tells me that one of two things happened
-
He sees Turkey as less important of a defense partner than previous presidents and was willing to sacrifice that connection unilaterally
-
He got permission from Turkey to do this as a part of some kind of backroom deal weāre unaware of
Either way, itās a good look.

Iām happy that the Armenian genocide is being acknowledged in this way. This could be a shot at Turkey because it is arguable that the Russia/Turkey geopolitical relations are the warmest theyāve been in centuries. Historically, thereās been antagonism between the two of them at least partly because Turkeyās control of the Dardanelles impacts Russiaās Black Sea fleet and projection of naval power.
lol Pelosi nuked any medicare expansion and put in $200 billion more for health insurance companies in the next megabill
I assume her asset manager coincidentally bought mega $$$ in health care stocks right before this?
So Iāve been dating a girl from Istanbul for over a year now. Sheās currently completing her PhD here in the US and TIL sheās an Armenian genocide denier. Her and her family and Turkish friends are like super super upset at Biden over this.
Weāve only talked briefly over the phone about it so far but she seemed to believe there is some kind of US/Armenian conspiracy to take Turkish land and life is about to get even worse for the Turkish people because of this.
She hates Erdogan and is pretty progressive about most things and this reaction has definitely caught me off guard. Seems like itās 100% some nationalistic brainwashing, ya?
Told her Iād do some more research before offering an opinion on the subject as Iām definitely no expert on this historyā¦ but I definitely thought the academic consensus was that it was an obvious genocide. Hopefully this wonāt prove to be a fracture in our relationship.

Shift to the left!
You are simply massively naive who doesnāt understand his the world works.
I am a Bernie supporter but I am in reality not the absolute fantasy land some of you live in where all the other forces in the world magically evaporate if Bernie is president.
Itās pretty delusional, to be honest.
Thinking Bernie would just be a progressive Trump is to not have been paying attention at all.

Bidenās tax plan isā¦pretty good? If they follow through on ending basis step up, increasing cap gains on rich people, reforming estate tax and a minimum corporate tax, thatās a huge win.

Tend to agree. One thing I know Clovis and I agree on wrt to Biden is that we need to celebrate the wins (Stimulus yay! Maybe this!).
Iām really risking my WAAF street cred here but fixing taxes would go a long way to shutting up the dumbass ābut how are we going to pay for itā nonsense. In an ideal world it would be a literal first step to take to implement the progressive policies I think we all want. I donāt really see the next steps being taken but itās a step.

The problem is heās making the mistake of responding to the king straw manner of all, an actual mascot whose job is to provoke outrage, etc, which is why you end up noticing the outrageous.
