Found this while I was cleaning up my room.

    Been thinking about the school to prison pipeline, the lib to fascist pipeline… I want to believe the Bernie supporters are over here with me on the actual left now, not just pining for brunch and normalcy during a genocide.

    Bernie I love you but friendship ended. Zorhan new bestie

      eh statistically there’s probably more of the latter. One guy I know who could genuinely be described as a gamer bernie bro is still vaguely on the left, very pro-union, pro-palestine (but not very noisy about it, he’s mostly touching grass by which I mean working and smoking weed), but he’s also super pro ukraine and he’s sent me videos from rantsona NAFO freaks so I think the contradictions will have to resolve themselves one way or another eventually and I’m not 100% confident he wouldn’t land at fascist if that’s the way the wind was blowing and the radicalizing circumstances were right.

      I wish him luck and all but nah. if I was in NYC maybe I’d feel differently but I’m done stanning US politicians.

    I remember thinking “damn I really want this poster but I’m unemployed and should be responsible with my money, I’ll pass” and then being sad when Bernard got ratfucked in the primary and sad that I didn’t have the poster.

    Then he went on to be extremely disappointing and I no longer yearned for the poster.

      I had Bernie bumper stickers in the back windows of my car for so many years. Then Bernie started with the “my friend Joe” shit and all that stuff went straight into the garbage… along with the tshirts.

    I had one at one point too. I still have a ton of Bernie magnets I made back then too lol.

    Some of them are still in the spots I put them in 5 years ago, mostly in grocery stores, gas pumps, and random nails on walls in restaurants

        Lol, it was only because I had a ton of magnets and a 3d printer. I also wanted something people could take home. Still have a ton of friends that use them as fridge magnets.

        I did also make 400 lenin heads and hid those too. Some local commies found them and put them on their cars
