Sanders: Protests ‘may be Biden’s Vietnam’
The Hill ^ | 05/03/2024 | ALEX GANGITANO

Posted on 05/03/2024 7:33:33 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said that the protests on college campuses over Israel’s war against Hamas could be President Biden’s Vietnam War, making the comparison to the anti-war protests in the 1960s while also offering support for the president’s statement this week.

“I am thinking back and other people are making this reference that this may be Biden’s Vietnam,” Sanders told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, who asked the senator what could happen to Biden and his reelection campaign.

“[Former President] Lyndon Johnson in many respects was a very, very good president. Domestically he brought forth some major pieces of legislation. He chose not to run in ’68 because of opposition to his views on Vietnam and I worry very much that President Biden is putting himself in a position where he has alienated, not just young people, but a lot of the Democratic base, in terms of his views on Israel and this war,” Sanders said.

These protesters are Hamas Terrorists and Biden and his party support them, nuff said.

Average citizens don’t want open borders, crippling inflation, and terrorists in the streets....and that’s what Biden has given us.

Our enemies are our greatest teachers.

What they are teaching us:

Voting does not work (c.f. the 2020 "elections")

Voters do not matter. The people who count the votes matter. The people who can deliver 6-figure and 7-figure campaign donations matter. Try contacting your State or local representatives if you doubt this assertion.

The Courts do not matter nor do laws. (c.f. the current show trials of President Donald Trump. Also, see the lack of prosecution of Leftist "mostly peaceful protestors")

The "Law" is whatever Democrats say it is from week to week. More accurately, it is whatever their sponsors want it to be. Most politicians are merely paid actors on stage, reciting the scripts from their sponsors.

Riots work. Especially when they are indirectly funded by the Government via a complex network of "Non-Government-Organizations" (NGOs) and "Nonprofit" Organizations. Especially when police and courts are instructed to stand down in the face of rioters - err "mostly peaceful protestors".

Note that your "Right Wing Patriot Militias" never get those sorts of breaks. They are not included in the membership of the protected diversity classes.

The riots that are now sparking up are factional disputes among the Leftists who control the country right now. It is basically a system of "One riot, One Vote".

Violence works. The Mexican Cartels have demonstrated this in Arizona, California and Ohio. Possibly in Georgia as well.

These are all extremely unpleasant lessons to absorb. The "rules" have changed and the civil society we thought we grew up with is a fading memory. Something new is replacing it. That replacement process is most untidy.

Plan accordingly.

"He was killed Vietnam AND Afghanistan."

Richard Blumenthal cradled a dying Beau in his arms, but was able to save his wristwatch for Hunter...

I still think Biden will pack up by or at the convention where the party hacks can appoint someone.
