They won’t, because they know if they do Israel will bomb them like they do other journalists and aid workers.

I’m pretty sure they actually can’t at all. Israel bars foreign journalists from entering Gaza.

Also they’ll find Hamas selling aid that’s suppose to be given away for free and starving people intentionally to keep it’s coffers full…

The global pandemic, rise of fascism, the active collapse of global ecosystems, climate crisis and wealth gap are probably less of a problem there. But I bet they’re still stuck working in offices, so we have that going for us.

Damn shame Bernie is not younger, because he would stomp on all the candidates and especially Putin’s Fucking Sock Puppet.

It was never in the cards, sorry to say. To be leftist means to grow stronger every time you lose. The Democratic Party would rather lose to Trump than win with a scary socialist.

Are you sure the majority of voters (plus the weird intermediate system) would vote for him?

In 2016, toward the end of the lead up to the primaries, Bernie polled higher than HRC when they were each given as an option to oppose Trump. I was in rural New York at the time and it was surprising to see so many Bernie signs. Somehow, he was able to reach blue collar America where other, recent Democrats have lost ground.

As a populist, Bernie was a stronger candidate against the other “populist” (Trump) than the institution candidate (HRC). Naturally, the DNC would rather lose against a wannabe-dictator than back someone who doesn’t swallow their entire load.

One of the biggest mistakes from the DNC was indeed pushing for HRC in 2016. And the more corporate/centrist Dems continue to resist and fight the progressives today.

If Hillary didn’t want to get payback on bill, and get an oval-office-closet-job from an intern so bad, Bernie would have had a much better chance.

No. America has been well conditioned and will not admit reality until unchecked greed inevitably collapses the global economy, again.

I’m pretty sure they would.

Biden fucking sucks. Only genocidal racists and corporate facists still support him.

Trumps beyond a fucking criminal, and in a hypothetical head to head, probably worse.

Bernie is the only other American politician of the previous decade who has been competitive at a national level, and enjoys widespread popularity. Democratic apologists will have you forget the rat-fucking, but not everyone is blind.

Bernie could actually win.

Biden fucking sucks. This is true.

Unfortunately, vote for anyone else, or even don’t vote at all, and you increase the chance of bringing us someone who will turn the dial up to 11.

Just so you know I don’t consider myself a genocidal racist or corporate fascist but I will be proudly throwing 100% of my support behind Biden and will encourage all around me to do the same. You should vote Biden by the way…

What most people are trying to say:

Despite the flaws that Biden has shown, including his inaction regarding Gaza, or action depending on perspective and topic, he has gotten quite a bit done. However, he is bipartisan in a time where we do need a hard and stalwart, more progressive candidate and leader. We have been pulled so far to the Right as a country that fairness so often seems like some distant memory. What we need is a sharp twist of the wheel and, honestly, I think all of us together can accomplish that with four more years under Biden. A way to stop Trump and buy time for us to carry the momentum that all this growing anger and frustration is giving us.

Let’s use the system as it is, get our people in, improve it, and knock out all these corrupt old bloods.

I don’t think Leftists would. All it takes is one hint of anything not 100% in alignment with whatever that individual Leftist believes, and they’ll drop support.
