WASHINGTON, NOV. 20, 2021: When Bernie Sanders won the presidential election in a squeaker last year, progressive Jews enthused that a glorious new era in American Judaism had dawned.
Synagogues in Park Slope and on the Upper West Side took turns hosting thought leaders such as Peter Beinart (author of “The Crisis of Zionism”) and Max Blumenthal (“Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel”) to explain how American Jews were heading into a “post-Israel” era — and why that was a good thing.
Lefty rabbis published lengthy Facebook posts about how mainstream and center-right Jewish organizations are all actually racist — and how the Sanders administration will help Jews overcome the community’s “particularist obsession” with “Jewish security.”
Yet a year into his term, the first Jewish president hasn’t, in fact, ushered in a Jewish golden age. For one thing, violent attacks against Jews, particularly the Orthodox, continue to escalate, triggering an exodus not seen since that of French Jewry in 2015-16.
The $17 federal minimum wage has sharply increased the unemployment rate among unskilled workers, and Jews have been an immediate scapegoat on the far right and left. Harsh new housing development standards enacted as part of the Green New Deal, meanwhile, have deepened the existing homelessness crisis.
“Jewish landlords” has emerged as a catchphrase seen on many signs at “Free Homes Now” protests. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Linda Sarsour has voiced her support for the movement on Twitter. Confronted with evidence of overt anti-Semitism, she said Team Sanders “deplores all hate,” while urging “privileged communities” to “think and act intersectionally.”

I got thoughts about Bernie, Soros, Schumer, that are best left unsaid.
If it reached that point, we’d be in the middle of the second civil war.
I couldn't believe it. I've never seen him live before at all, let alone in an interview situation. He really looks like a mental patient. The years have not been kind to him. He looks like someone who has been eaten away by years of resentment, frustration, and pent-up rage.
That’s what leftism will do to you. Turning your back on God and thinking you know better than Him.
The Archie Bunker of the left x10.
A palestinian refugee family quartered in ever Jewish home.
You make some excellent observations and points.
That bastard is very dangerous, and if he could do so, he’d take us out by whatever means was available to him.
How much support he has is very scary.
And Bernie, Castro didn’t educate children, he indoctrinated them, you communist sonofabitch..
There will never be a President Bernie Sanders or a Dem Nominee for President Bernie Sanders.
This guy isn’t a fighter or a real candidate.
Screw him over, abuse him, whatever and he will still roll over like the good boy he is and show belly.
Within a month, this guy will be endorsing Biden,
I feel for his supporters. They actually think that this chump is leading a movement. All he is leading is another movement Howard getting himself another vaca house.
Interesting. Even his comrades dislike him.
Rally the shooters, Bern. The Young Jerks, Cenk, would support you. Too bad your comrades won’t.
Even the world socialists website, his comrades, don’t like this fraud.

“Sanders’ response to the Democratic Party’s open and unrestrained hostility to him exposes the depth of his own political demagogy.”
Yep, I’ve said, Karl would spit on him...uncle Joe would put one in the back of Bourgeois Bernie’s head.
What a FRAUD that “INDEPENDENT”/”SOCIAL DEMOCRAT” for 20 years on the body politic.
His position papers on “the struggle” show it. Wait...what?...
Feel the Bern, lemmings/Cenk. Thanks for the laughs.
It’s all yours International Extortionist. Tell everyone Hunter can be Sociopath of State to set up the Biden Global Initiative. After all, you and he were “Father/Son of the Year 2019”. You can pick up your award on The Streets of San Francisco.
Joementia...powering The Clown Car. What a F’N JOEK.
I'm thinking: not good.
Pogroms, barbed wire, forced labor, mass incarceration, death
He has no GOD in his life, that’s why hes a SOCIALIST....ATHEIST!
the Manifesto says that it will take violent upheaval to bring about the “worker’s paradise”.
Many new emigrants to Israel?
To some extent that would describe just about everyone left of Dwight Eisenhower.
I, being the resident grammar NAZI was going to correct your possessive “worker’s” which is singular to “workers’” plural but on second thought one worker having it good is about the largest number of them one could expect in Bernie’s Paradise.
“The years have not been kind to him. He looks like someone who has been eaten away by years of resentment, frustration, and pent-up rage.”
I’m wondering if Sanders will be willing to be bought off this time around like he was with Hitlerly. He may decide this is his last hurrah and he’ll burn the house down if he sees he is being denied again.
