Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., told a crowd of thousands at a rally in Los Angeles on Saturday that the U.S. was facing a moment of “extraordinary danger” as he criticized the political, economic and social policies of Donald Trump.

Sanders, who also dropped by the music festival Coachella over the weekend, has been criss-crossing the U.S. to speak out against the new Republican administration.

“We are living in a moment of extraordinary danger,” he said, “and how we respond to this moment will not only impact our lives but will impact the lives of our kids and future generations.”

    I don’t disagree about the Democrats.

    We DO disagree that it was worth allowing the administration that is objectively worse for the Palestinians to take charge to make a point about the Democrats.

    If someone told you that you had to sacrifice your entire family in order to “save democracy” would you do it?

    You’re still missing it.

    While saving democracy is certainly part of avoiding Trump, you’re still trying to spin this into something it’s not.

    The relevant point here is that with Democrats, they’d probably still be in a load of trouble while the Dems played politics until they figured out just how much of their base supports Palestine.

    With the Republicans… they cheer for the genocide. Hell, if they pull enough authority with this grab, they’ll probably send troops to help the IDF finish the job.

    People like me voted for the chance to avoid the latter. I’d like to think people like you voted for hope.

    But when people who voted for neither major party yell about how Democrat voters are “fInE wItH gEnOcIdE”, when it was a calculated choice in support of Palestine, it starts to feel like virtue signaling.
