One other area where Bernie has wimped out is on illegal immigration.
The old left (and the previous version of Bernie) was totally opposed to massive immigration of unskilled workers and others because it led to lower wages and stressed the social safety net for citizens.
Today’s left (which got Bernie to bend the knee) couldn’t care less if they put downward pressure on wages and bankrupt the welfare state at the same time.
Good point.
Though I wouldn’t call that wimping out as much as change of priority for the dems, a change that Bernie I’m sure agrees with.
Because what it means is: give foreigners the vote in US elections.
That is now the top priority for ALL dems.
Bernie hasn’t wimped out on this... he’s stabbed Americans in the back with this, all Americans, including poor Americans, but for the “greater good” of locking out Republicans from any possibility of elected office.
