    I expect both of them to be arrested before it becomes a mass movement. We are in a fascist state already.

      LoL. They’re both still feverishly defending sending arms to certain battle zones. Both still subservient to the MIC.

      Don’t fall for the media propaganda that these pretenders are peak progressive.

        They may not be “peak progressive”, but by American standards they are far ahead of the pack.

        Maybe don’t let perfect stand in the way of good.

          Liberals are reactionaries who wish to return to a former status quo. Leftists wish to move forward to a better status quo. They want opposing things.

          Bernie & AOC, while more progressive than most liberals, are still liberals.

            who wish to return to a former status quo.

            That sounds more like conservatives to me.

              Exactly. Liberals and conservatives are two sides of the same coin. They simply disagree about what status quo to return to, and who is acceptable to exploit.

              By his own words, he is not. He is a democratic socialist. He beliefs in reform of capitalism, rather than moving to a better system entirely.
