America needs more people like Bernie, too bad Republicans and Democrats are hopeless and don’t get it

He is wrong here sadly. Its the voters fault for picking fascism by not voting

I think Bernie is giving too much credit to Americans. IMO the election doesn't show that the Dems abandoned anybody, it shows that half the voters in the country are fucking idiots. To help them you would have to trick them into letting you. Unfortunately most people with that ability are assholes who are only going to use the amorphous mass of stupidity for their own benefit.

He’s spot-on. I’m pissed and do want change.

Both sides do.

It's just a shame that was the only real option on the ballot.

This is exactly what happened - not that there weren't any real options on the ballot, but that people are fucking idiots. You don't even get that this comic is about you.

Too late Bernie, there was a need to speak way before this election started. yet you preferred to side with Biden when everyone could see that he was cooked, and preferred to blindly endorse kamala, her policies and her campaign through out the few pas months, you didn't even negotiate a damn thing for your endorsement even when knowing you have a sizable following.

He made it clear where he differed from Biden and Harris, but encouraged his supporters to vote for them. Are you proposing that he should have encouraged his supporters to ditch Harris, giving Trump an even more sizable lead?

He shouldn't have endorsed them without getting anything in returns for his people. a tangible and meaningful policy, he is known for advocating for universal healthcare, but I saw no push from him on the party for that. if that's a big ask, choose another impactful policy, find other progressives, form a group and advocate together. what did the progressives do against the party for a few elections now? nothing, they let themselves get run over by the Democratic party apparatus times and again. I don't want to be mean but at this point I don't see them to be different to other careerist politicians.

This is what politics is about. not only him, but this goes for the squad as well. mark my words : AOC will end up becoming just another Pelosi.

I feel like threatening to withhold your endorsement just equates to holding the country hostage. He absolutely has been trying to push the Democrats to adopt more progressive policies and block military shipments to Israel, which is why it's so frustrating to see them disregard him and lose because of it.

The country is already held hostage to the two party system and the ruling class that is benefiting from this no matter which way the election swings.
