    Is Bernie Sanders Relevant ?

    No
    Yes
    Why



    Inspiration for this poll

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/bernie-sanders-says-intends-trumpworld-180838886.html
    Bernie Sanders says he intends to go 'into Trumpworld
    and start talking to people'

    Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) "would have loved to run against" former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, he told The New York Times' Maureen Dowd. "He's a fraud and he's a phony," Sanders said of Trump. "That's what he is, and he has to be exposed for that."

    But he retains a different attitude toward many of Trump's supporters, whom he says he wants to reach out to soon, seemingly when he gets a break from his work on infrastructure legislation. Sanders told Dowd that the "Democratic elite" doesn't always "fully appreciate" the need to speak to the struggles of the white working class, reflecting a message he often relayed throughout his presidential campaigns. "We've got to take it to them," Sanders said, referring to the aforementioned demographic. "I intend, as soon as I have three minutes, to start going into Trumpworld and start talking to people."
    . .


    The question remains
    Does Bernie Sanders matter?
    Or just another, should have retired by now :oldman: of politics

    regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.

    It is Jewish tradition to care for people who can not provide for themselves.

    Anti-Semites blame Jews for Socialism, but some forms of Socialism can be Positive.

    Totalitarianism is a totally different phenomena.

    It would appear that the Donald has indeed taken up residence in Bernies head. As he has in every lefty’s head.
    Bernie gonna go into Trumpland and enlighten the Trumpers? This I would love to see :roflol:

    He is more powerful than ever. Its a 50/50 Senate and if the Democratic majority wants to even get near 50 votes in this hyper partisan atmosphere, then Schumer, Pelosi and Biden had best pay attention to this man's minimal demand. You pretty much figure that the guy picked as Senate Chair of the Budget Committee hasn't been losing influence. Insofar as the progressive left has a national voice, its still Sanders

    This man is a very shrewd Senator. He knows exactly what is and is not realistic, and he picks his moments to become a very sharp thorn in the side of Dems.

    Bernie Sanders wouldn't go into "Trump world" when he was running for POTUS so he surely won't do it when he is not. He may find a few blue island college towns in the red states to do an appearance at, but that is it.

    Alone among the Leftists and wanna-be Socialists of today's America-hating Democrat Party, Bernie Sanders remains an 'old-school' Socialist who has been largely truthful, honest, and honorable in maintaining fidelity to his beliefs and convictions.

    But, is he relevant?

    Well... he's treated as another 'ornament' on the Democrats' 'Christmas Tree'... a 'useful idiot' that the 'woke' mob running the Biden Administration can put in front of the TV cameras from time to time to help them push their welfare-handouts-for-votes agenda.

    Because the whole concept of getting 'something-for-nothing' is always popular with the indolent masses, there is necessarily a built-in relevance in a politician like Bernie Sanders....

    I am certainly a Trumper but.......
    I disagree with well over ninety percent of fellow Trumpers on some pretty serious topics......

    Can Israel pull the entire world economy out of a possible Bear Market, another 1929?

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...f-a-possible-bear-market-another-1929.574581/





    ................





    COVID 19 and introduction of an unconditional income supplement


    Bernie has serious chutzpah and courage and can be very, very, very relevant to events that take place over the next two years!


    Bernie might even be drawn to the following discussion by one of his enthusiastic supporters........ and he might actually comprehend what I have in mind...... (somewhat anyway)?!?!


    Proposal for the creation of a Sderot Volunteerism Hour.....







    I am guessing that Bernie and Mitt Romney might just be capable of cooperating to at least some degree with each other????
