As always, Sanders will be approached, he will fold and withdraw the proposal. After all, he can’t make sad his “good friend” Joe Biden.
“I’ll believe it when I see it” is a better response than assuming he won’t actually do this, or patting him on the back before he does.
Resolution gets dropped or resolution is voted against. It’s not a leap to assume these parlor tricks will end the same way as they always have.
At this point, Sanders is a psyop meant to sheepherd leftists and left-leaning people into the Democratic Party. There’s absolutely no reason to give him the benefit of the doubt.
On the contrary, there’s very good reason to expose him for what he is. And based on the past, either he withdraws the proposal, or he changes it to make it milktoast. The only way it gets through to the floor, is if it’s already known beforehand that it will be rejected, and the DNC has allowed this to happen before, to boost Sander’s profile so he can work for them more effectively.
This whole thing is performative theater before the elections, to attract Muslims and leftists to the booths for Kamala, and we should call it as such, instead of tone-policing.
pledged to intoduce a resolution
wow Bernie, don’t sprain anything. maybe try using the term “genocide” to warm up
“And, of course, Israel has right to defend itself”
I also pledge to do this, with equal effect
Took almost a year for him to maybe consider possibly doing the bare fucking minimum
