In a Perfect Metaphor for Socialism, Bernie Sanders' State of the Union Video Response Craps Out

Self-identified "national socialist" Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) couldn't let Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass.) speak for him in the Democratic response to Donald Trump's first State of the Union address. But, in a perfect metaphor for his economic system, Sanders' own response experienced "technical difficulties."

For almost a full three minutes, Sanders' response was down, and the screen read, "We will be back momentarily!"

"Well, as they say, technology is great when it works, so if you're still with us, we appreciate it very much," the socialist senator said when the video started again.

So long as Sanders' team doesn't fix the video, you might be able to catch the lag here. The glitch starts at 6:09 in the video, and goes on until 8:50

Did she actually do it? I’ve seen nothing thus far today about it. But then, I’m not Black so my computer may be restricted.

That’s what happens when you let Cuban State Television handle the production.

[Boogieman]

At least the original “national socialists” made their speeches run on time.

[rktman]

"Supposedly she had a slot on BET to do it but my vcr was broke. 😹" I just put in a search term on Google on it and there's nothing coming back except the earlier articles about the fact that she's "going" to do it. Maybe her broom broke down on the way to the BET studio.

National socialist as in Nazi.

[RatRipper]

Why doesn’t someone have the guts to point out in public that the Democrat Party is controlled by individuals of the same ilk that we were fighting in the Korean War and the Vietnam war?

Their ideology is evil and when laid bare for all to see, runs counter to the DNA of free Americans.

[DuncanWaring]

That’s a rhetorical question, right?

[rktman]

🤔. Yup. 👹

Maybe her broom broke down on the way to the BET studio.

Or, as my old friend from Nigeria would say, she's on "African time". It will happen when she finally gets around to it.

[SMARTY]

maybe someone pulled the plug on him.

The lag was the best part of Bernie’s response.

I saw last night on TD that one of his former supporters got a refund check from him.
