Bernie Sanders, man is always on the right side of history, just wish he fought harder against the dem party
Bernie, and never again or before.
Should have been Bernie.
I’m done licking wounds though. Anyone can wear the mask. Run for something. If you aren’t running for something fuck up government infrastructure. Their next move is to “deport” US Citizens. They already have and we cannot allow it. This is a war on us from our own government.
I’m not from the US, but I still think it should have been Bernie. If he had become president, we wouldn’t all be in trouble now.
I am dismayed that he is “a crazy lefist” to some. I have never felt represented in our Government honestly.
Where I come from (Germany), Sanders would be a moderate left-wing politician. What scares me most is that Trump & Co. are using political pressure and economic sanctions to extend the inhumane conditions in the USA to democratic countries where there is still a halfway fair welfare state (this is a competitive disadvantage in hard-core capitalism that no longer cares about people).
I was having trouble providing proof of residence for voting in a local election.
I went to the politician’s office, explained my situation. They scanned what ID I did have and helped me get registered to vote.
At a local level my city in the UK took our Metrolink (tram) and bus services back under council control and I like our mayor as he seems to get things done.
An a national level, I don’t know think ever, we were meant to get HS2 (high speed rail) and that was canned after spending billions.
Tim Walz during covid.
I saw that small businesses like restaurants wanted to close for the safety of their employees but the national chains wanted to stay open for profits. If individual businesses would have closed, they would lose business possibly forever. They needed the statevto mandate a closure to protect their employees and their ability to keep their customers. Walz declared a closure. I’ve spoken with almost s dozen local businesses who all feel the same.
Conversely, Walz allowed chiropractors to stay open because the state saw that they took some of the load off of the already overloaded hospitals.
Looking at all the bumper stickers and yard signs, he is quite unpopular, but I feel that he looked at the evidence (not the politics) and made a hard decision at the potential expense of his career.
Bonus, during covid, he had the best ASL interpreter on the press releases.
I only know what I saw from him on the campaign trail, including attending one of his rallies. I got such good vibes from him. He gives off the vibes of a great family sitcom dad.
Now, as with any politician, he’s made some moves that i don’t favor, like one year there was a tax surplus, so he gave it away instead of giving it back.
Never.
Vermin Supreme comes close to treating the corporate state with the respect it deserves, but there’s no leadership under all that absurdity.
Ha, V.S.
Obviously Bernie. That’s my dude, but I’ll admit to another that turned sour.
Mother fucking Fetterman.
He’s local to me, and hearing about everything he did as mayor just made him sound like an awesome guy. Living in a foreclosed car dealership, seriously improved living conditions for the poor, hoodie and jeans, tattoos honoring people he never met, he just sounded like somebody I could relate with.
Well, then he had a stroke, joined the Senate and has been embarrassing himself and me ever since. 🤦🏻♂️
Fetterman had a clone trooper chip activated 💀
Can’t say that I ever have. But with how many people are covered, even locally, it may be a fools errand to hope for a person like that.
Generally speaking, local has been pretty decent even if I don’t always get what I’d like. Let’s just say Cop City kinda tainted everyone.
JB Pritzker has been a pleasant surprise for Illinoisans. With him being another billionaire in politics, I held my nose and voted for him the first time because he promised us legal weed and the other guy was awful.
But at every turn he’s proven that he really is out there for the people and for Illinois. The rare type of billionaire who has good intentions and is satisfied with what he has and therefore can’t be bought or bribed. He’s consistently done good work for us and is taking a stand against the Trump administration. I’ll be happy to vote for him for a third term or presidential primary.
Came here to post this same thing! Hey there fellow Illinoisian 😎
Jeremy Corbyn, 2019 UK election. He lost due to several factors but especially sabotage from within his own party and a corrupt media. Apparently it’s all well documented in this 3 part series though I’ve never had the heart to watch it.
Went to a demonstration in support of Ukraine and our president was there as a speaker. That was nice.
I’ve never felt fully represented.
There is this one guy that represented me well for the last 6 years. While he was running the party things were good. From then on things went a bit downhill. He is still there and doing a good job though.
Corbyn, and then never again. They assassinated him in all but body.
I haven’t yet
Why do u fuck sharks?
Surpisingly the first time i have been asked this question. It is because I am also a shark but most people do not know this
All the weed.
