      And then Biden did it 4 years later.

      See the pattern? Combined with all the “left” side of democrats support for US imperialism.

      Bernie and people like him ain’t gonna change shit, not any more in the future that they did in a past decades. It’s time to radicalise way beyond him and the lukewarm electoral socialdemocracy, the only thing that can change something for the better, and did in the past, is the organised working class.

      Did she steal it tho?

      The Bern caved, which was a cuck move.

      I still support him but that was a clown mistake imho setting working and young people back a decade or so.

        As much as I hate to say it, Democrats would’ve just lost even harder if the vote was divided. He did the right thing at the time, the democrat party never would’ve backed down on Hillary back then.

        That entire election was egos that overestimated how things would go.

    I guess my dads not A typical boomer, he openly emits that times were much easier for him. As this quote from Bernie implies, after taking to account inflation and everything around living your life, we work much harder and get much less than our parents or grandparents did.

    Regarding getting off the gold standard, sure that might have some effect, and I’m not a finance major so I don’t know all the details, but in the end, I think capitalists would have done whatever they needed to in order to suppress how much people make in compared to their productivity. Getting off of a standard was just the technique used at the time.
