Once again, people worship the ground Sanders walks on and shit on all the other people in the government working to accomplish things.
The gop are increasingly realizing they can destroy the entire government by doing what they are doing. But there are plenty of Democrats who are still putting in the work and trying to do what they can. And all this “King Bernie” talk does is devalue the work of others. Some of which were actually inspired by Sanders.
Is this article about another Democrat speaking up and stopping the fight; or Bernie? Don’t gotta get your britches in a twist, now it just looks like you have some weird obsession with taking the guy down.
Sanders has stepped up as a “leader” since he pissed away most of his influence in 2012. That is really good. And that is why he is the one expected to “speak up” in these kinds of hearings and why he gets media coverage.
But a LOT of work happens in the government that doesn’t get media coverage. One could argue that almost all meaningful and productive work falls into that category.
If people want to say “Good on Bernie for telling it like it is” and “Good thing Bernie is there to step up”, I am all for it. But “he’s the only adult in a room full of children” is an active insult to everyone who is trying to make this shitshow work.
And even if you don’t care about actively disrespecting the people trying to attempt to make this country a more bearable place: Sanders is 78. We need to not pin all our hopes and dreams on someone who very likely won’t be in office in 2028.

Oh, people who hate Sanders suddenly don’t like it when people are called children?

I think you misunderstood. The “room” mentioned isn’t all of Congress, but the physical room where this one committee was.
kind of a dumbass, aren’tya? kinda just made a big dumb ol’ mountain out of a nothing mole hill, didn’tya?
This has got to be the highest ratio I’ve ever seen in a single Lemmy comment.

You gotta learn to read before you learn to type, bro
I love how 279 people took time out their day just to point how ridiculous this comment is

We can’t all be Joe Manchin and accomplish everything centrists want.
Cool. Turns out, Bernie was the only democrat actually there for this incident. Sooooooo, your comment is super irrelevant.

Hilary rigged the DNC.
Democrats have been ignoring their constituents to pursue their own personal enrichment since.
The people are still waiting for the leader they elected.
Not sure why you got down voted, Hilary absolutely rigged the DNC.
