Those nasty soshulists

I fully support BLM but this sort of thing does them no favours

@Moravian Bernie wearing mittens? Im confused.

I appreciate that people like Bernie and AOC are holding the party accountable.

@Moravian Or do you mean the article? I'm pretty sure that's an anti Bernie thing not a BLM thing. Its some right wing prick finding a sliver of truth and putting it out of context to show what they want to.

That doesn't, however mean Bernie doesn't have white privilege. Obviously he does. And I never really thought about it much but that whole rich guy dressing down to connect with normal people thing is definitely a rich white guy trope. Think Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs. Although I do thonk Bernie is much more relatable and alot less rich than them and actually walks the walk of working for working people. I was just saying I can see where the concept came from.

@MsAl Sorry ?. You said you can see how people of colour may take offence. Why ? I understand the concept of white privilege but how on earth could an elderly white man dressing for the conditions be offensive. What I am saying that Ingrid Sayer Ochi makes herself look silly

@MoravianDont twist my words. I can see how dessing down at a formal event could be seen as a pomuous a rich white guy thing.

To be clear I have respect for Bernie snubbing the festivities alittle. Which is what that meme symbolizes for me. I almost baought the shirt. Weather he was just keeping warm or not, that was the meaning of the meme and he leaned into it hard. Bernie is a bad ass not weakling. You don't have to play the waek old guy card to defend him. It WAS a statement and a good one.

The party and especially Biden are very performative and kinda gross. I support getting to work on real issues and not getting all googly over their fluff.

That doesn't mean the thing about white rich guy privilege isn't true. I make it a point to understand two things can be true at once. Sorry if that offends you.

@Moravian

@The-Krzyz I have one on order to replace my red EU passport which expires in a few weeks

@Moravian Brexit definitely screwed up my fantasy to reclaim my citizenship in an EU member state and eventually settle in the UK, possibly Scotland. Could you please encourage them to secede?

@The-Krzyz We are doing our best

Exactly! And she complained about his physical distance? Has she heard there's a pandemic?

@TheoryNumber3 I hope her real motivation will be exposed in due course.

@LovinLarge Or she could be just another one of those Karens who love to stir the pot. Bernie Sanders is a decent man. So is Biden. But the filth they spread about them is just unconscionable. Yet they "respect" a low-life like Trump who would be pushing a shopping cart down Fifth Avenue if he hadn't been lucky enough to slide down the right birth canal.
