Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., told a crowd of thousands at a rally in Los Angeles on Saturday that the U.S. was facing a moment of “extraordinary danger” as he criticized the political, economic and social policies of Donald Trump.

Sanders, who also dropped by the music festival Coachella over the weekend, has been criss-crossing the U.S. to speak out against the new Republican administration.

“We are living in a moment of extraordinary danger,” he said, “and how we respond to this moment will not only impact our lives but will impact the lives of our kids and future generations.”

    Unfortunately it seems that your brain doesn’t work, sir.

    You seem to forget that the majority of the recent genocide of Palestinians was so far overseen by a democratic president.

    Did you think voting for those same people would make it stop?

      Does yours?

      Try seeing outside of black and white absolutes.

      Are you unable to see that this administration is WORSE?

      Are you incapable of understanding why people who support Palestine might vote for the lesser evil of two guaranteed options?

      You and others like you scream about how we don’t care about genocide, but I’m pretty sure you know the truth and you’re just trying to convince yourself that you did the right thing.

        Yes this administration is worse. Cool. We agree. It’s the disastrous policies of democrats that got us here. We know what Maga is. They know what Maga is. They had the project 2025 plans months in advance. What did they give you? An senile candidate who was out of touch with reality and completely controlled by his handlers and then Kamala the coconut cop and a bunch of vibez. You had 0 participation in the democratic process of the democratic party.

        Project 2025 is going down right now and they are out here doing publicity stunts. These people are not fighting for you now as the constitution is being shred - when will they ever???

        Lol I don’t need to convince myself of anything. I vote my conscience. If nearly all of the country was ok with ignoring the genocide they are sponsoring - well I guess I live in a country of selfish selfish people who need a rude awakening. I don’t know what to tell you.

        The whole country ignored 1 million dead Iraqi. This is the natural progression of a society that steps on another to maintain the status quo. Eventually you are going to get stepped on.

        If someone told you that you had to sacrifice your entire family in order to “save democracy” would you do it?

        Of course not - so why is sacrificing the Palestinians a-ok with all of you people who are now trembling in fear at what’s coming? Why should anyone expect empathy when they weren’t willing to give it?

        When analyzing how a situation came to be do you only look to deflect and blame other people or are you going to take some time to self-reflect and question how your behavior or way of thinking may have led us to this point? And what do you do to change it?
