    Its just basic common sense that a brain-worm riddled zombie person shouldnt be allowed to serve as a health secretary, yet here we are

    Wait, the guy that dumped a dead fucking bear cub in central park? The guy that SAWED OFF a fucking whales head and mounted it to the top of his car?

    He’s… He’s what now? He has a job in the government?

    Sounds like a shitty fucking government.

    I played COD MW2 in highschool so by these standard I far exceed the qualifications needed to head up DOD. Just give me a call or something.

    Good on Bernie, but nothing will actually come of it until Schumer sends a strongly worded letter.

    When I first heard of him, I had an open mind, and then I heard him speak.

    His voice sounds like years of chain smoking, drinking, and shoddy home first aid.

    Idk why anyone would listen to and see him speak and think “wow he can be trusted to help us be healthier”.

      Because most of us were aware that his voice was due to a neurological disorder called spasmodic dysphonia.

      Don’t get be wrong, there’s still a long list of reasons based on his actions and public past behavior as to why he shouldn’t’ve been considered.

    Sanders Demands RFK Jr. Resign as Human

    That’s a pretty harsh thing to say to a poor worm that is really trying their best. People stuff is hard, so many needs and wants.

    It makes me think about the powers who put that silver spoon bastard into that department.

    He is there to serve those who want their beliefs confirmed, by getting rid of the sciences and fattening the MLM cows.

      Yeah fuck Bernie for being old and representing this place for 50+ years fighting on our behalf as one of the few sane representatives we have, fuck that guy. Fuck him for his consistency and willingness to stand up and say what no one else does. Fuck him for not being your version of perfect. Yeah! Fuck him!

      I’m so sick of people pissing on Bernie, literally making perfection the enemy of good while we have a fucking fascist pedo in charge. Maybe just maybe we can agree once in a while, despite Bernie not looking young enough for everyone.

        Yeah, if Bernie were a real bro he’d show some bite by gnawing on RFK Jr. until the worm tells him to resign. Take some damn initiative for once!

        I understand your sentiment but democrats still need a younger voice in congress. Nothing against Bernie but we need someone younger to take charge. I was hoping AOC would but haven’t heard much about her recently.

        I hate Trump but one thing he did was build a popular base and democrats have none. A lot of people say these are best practices but whose going to implement them? Democrats need someone to rally around…

        My issue is, why say you want old white men out of politics while asking for Bernie.

        Second issue he can’t win. He can’t even win the support of one party let alone the country. Move on already, what are you gonna wait till hes dead before you look for someone younger?

          because whilst people want old white men out of politics, people also want his kind of politics in government and he’s the only one principled enough to have fought for it long term

          a single attribute doesn’t entirely nullify all other positive attributes… things are grey; not binary

              if you want to make a difference in politics in the US, you either become a democrat president or a republican president. the US has a 2 party system: that’s just reality. there’s no way an independent ever becomes president

              and simply being a democrat doesn’t make someone evil either… again, thinking 3rd parties are going to change anything at all in an FPTP system is ignorant of the realities of how the system works… so you are either not a politician, a democrat, a republican, or siphoning votes from your ideologically closest major candidate thus damaging the ideology you’re purporting to fight for… there’s only 2 choices: give up and let the neoliberal shit show win the game, or be a democrat

                Lemmy is full of the opposite of what you’re saying, the American left decided that democrats are worse than trump, anyone with a D may as well have a swastika if you look at the threads when a Democrat finally fights back.

                End of the day i just want your country to die honestly, karma for what you did to me and countless others

                  well, i’m not american… i assume that’s what you mean, since there’s not often a lot of hate for australia

                  and i think that people are allowed to have both nuanced opinions of others, and act in nuanced ways

          He’s constantly introducing legislation that reflects what he says. What do you expect him to do? Strange these people with his bare hands?

            i would expect him to actually have a chance of passing that legislation. i would expect him to use his cabinet money to agitate and organize the people, like the marxists do in my country. leftists know introducing legislation the oligarchs disagree with never works.

            but anything that works would be nice, really. not saying zionist garbage would help.

              He does that also. He spoke in the small decaying city I live in and hosted a rally featuring many local mutual aid organizations and leaders. This was about a month ago. Then there was a large block party outside the venue in the alley where everyone could mingle and connect over what he just spoke about.
