    Dude. Why is it the business of the US? Why stick noses where they don’t belong? I don’t follow enough of what’s going on, but it sort of drives me mad when people are asked opinions on things they very well may not understand. Bernie, no offense, doesn’t live there, maybe visited, but doesn’t fully grasp-nor would most Americans for that matter… So how are they going to make an educated enough decision whether to support something, let alone decide about war?!

    Damn happy the left is putting the other candidates in power, but I’d pick Bernie Sanders over a maga candidate

    I respect the hell out of Bernie for so many reasons, but this proves that he is too old for the moment and its time to retire. Most 84 year olds just are-- and it shouldn’t be taboo to acknowledge that. They were raised in a different time and to one degree or another they are unable to reflect the values of the vast vast majority of the rest of modern society. It will happen to us all. A society’s ideas are temporal, and at a certain point, almost all of the people who share a certain set of ideas become extinct, thank god.

    “Dont listen to grandpa’s racism/extremism/sexism/barbarism, he is from a different time. Let him ramble and don’t take it too seriously, and rememeber to measure all of him, not just his outdated ideas.”

      Ethnic cleansing and ethno-nationalism were against the values of his time too.

      It will happen to us all.

      Speak for yourself, plenty of people go their whole lives without supporting genocide.
