Sanders was joined on stage by United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain, who wore a T-shirt reading "Eat the Rich" and told the audience that "billionaires don't have a right to exist."
careful now. I understand that kind of ultra violent rhetoric is illegal on reddit.
This isn't reddit.
thankfully.
It's still lemmy.world though
Earnestly, consistently, and collaboratively. Never retreat, never surrender.
You love to see it!
Is that the same guy that went on stage at the RNC convention last year?
that was teamsters president sean o'brien. he was roasted a bit for agreeing to do it, but he delivered a pro-union rant.
I really cant find much fault here. republicans in general and trump in particular dont give a shit about workers, but delivering a pro-union message directly to republican-curious viewers was probably a net positive. besides, support is earned not owed. do better (*fucking sigh*) democrats.
Appreciate the information, as I didn't have time to look it up myself at the moment
Bernie is a national treasure.
Bernie is too good for us man. He will keep fighting until he literally can not anymore. We don't deserve him, but he thinks we do and that makes him fucking awesome
Bernie needs to have an apprentice, Jedi style.
Someone who tags along with him and shares his values. Someone who can take his mantle when he eventually … moves on.
If Dems weren't in the pocket of the wealthy, Bernie would have just finished his second term and people would be clamoring for term limits to be removed so he could run again.
