Unfortunately, my standard is set pretty high especially for someone like Bernie who I really had on a pedestal. Things sound different when you have family on the ground. That being said I appreciate your post and sharing this information. I think the expectation for Bernie is set higher than others because he was meant to be “our guy”, same with AOC, so any falter feels 10x bigger than from those we already expect it from.
What fucking falter, what are you talking about? Calling it "ethnic cleansing" instead of "genocide" was your red line, and undoes all the relentless effort he's been putting in to try to stop the US government from helping Israel with their horrifying crimes?
I literally just don't get this. The AOC thing is incredibly stupid, too. I talked more about it here.
