How many of Bernie's voters own Hamas scarves such as we saw on the streets after the Oct 7th murders of Israeli families?
"I’m sure as hell suggesting he shouldn’t be the ranking member of any committees, and he absolutely shouldn’t be in control of the politics of the Democrat Party, of which he isn’t even a member."
"The old line has it that you get what you tolerate.
"It’s a good life lesson which isn’t all that often applied to politics — at least, not in polite circles of our politics. We’ve had tolerance preached to us nonstop since we were children, or at least those of us who are Generation X and younger have, and so the idea that you get what you tolerate isn’t supposed to apply.
