The richest 400 Americans sit on $3 trillionâthe size of the entire UK economy. The billionaire class now pays a lower tax rate than people living paycheck to paycheck. The looting of America has been going on for over 40 yearsâand the culprits are the ultra-rich.— Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) June 1, 2020

Can we all just admit this: The transformational changes that covid, the economic crisis, police brutality and racial turbulence will force are precisely some of the things Bernie Sanders was talking about but may have sounded too extreme to some just months ago.— Charles M.

this is the first response I saw:
I donât recall Bernie discussing police brutality as systemic in the black community. In fact, he had racial blind spots and wanted to pivot to economic vs race...and oh btw, Seth Rogan. So, I donât see it.— zzmama1 (@ZZMAMA1) June 8, 2020

Idg the Rogen digI don't think there's any question Bernie would not have done the "shoot em in the leg" bit but police violence wasn't in the forefront of the zeitgeist like it is now.

This was the idiot in the lead before, instead of that idiot.
No. Bernie never discussed race as a specific issue. Bernie's entire philosophy is about economic class issues. That was his fix for everything. Warren was better at incorporating both issues.— Anita Paul (@apawlh) June 8, 2020

Criminal justice reform was a big part of his platform. Police brutality itself was touched on in the "racial justice" section of his platform (which def existed and is still viewable: https://berniesanders.com/issues/racial-justice/) but in v broad terms. He also talked about it with Cardi B here, ha, mostly coming down to: police depts should look like the communities they serve, Dept of Justice should investigate police killings, scale back militarization of policehttps://youtu.be/p1ubTsrZFBU?t=84

Clyburn's endorsement of Biden earned him some very big chits he can redeem later on. I hope he calls them in wisely in the service of obtaining real benefits for his constituency and beyond.

Bernie Sanders will never stop being a toxic cancer to the left and to women. He knows this by now.

I don't believe for a second that these meme-jiving "politics nerds" don't understand that most senators are lead sponsors of few bills that pass and the majority of them are either naming post offices or making very small incremental changes to an existing law. Although I do think they may really see politics as a kind of sport where your "record" in terms of "getting stuff passed" matters more than substantive policy. Because they don't really believe in anything *except* small tweaks to existing law, they have no political imagination and can't conceive that anything other than what we have now but tweaked a bit is possible.

Chris Evans is part of the "K-Hive," which manages to do worse than treat politics as sport by treating it as a fandom.

Also, I mean he's Bernie Fucking Sanders, and her suggestion to try a different "lane" or whatever basically amounts to "Maybe you should try not being Bernie Sanders" -- he is at the left edge of the party, and of course he's going to propose bills that don't get passed, because the democratic party doesn't support his agenda. "Why don't you try being a regular democrat and not achieving anything you want to achieve anyway."
