Summary
Bernie Sanders won reelection to a fourth U.S. Senate term, defeating Republican Gerald Malloy and several minor candidates.
The 83-year-old Vermont independent, known for his democratic socialist views, has been a key figure in progressive causes, collaborating with the Biden administration on domestic policies like health care and workers’ rights.
Sanders cited threats to democracy, economic inequality, and climate change as motivations for seeking another term.
Malloy, a former Army officer and businessman, criticized Sanders for lack of results, while Sanders emphasized his record and commitment to progressive reforms.
Imagine if the Democrats didn’t fuck over this man when he ran for President.
There’s a timeline somewhere where I’m a patriot…
He’d do some executive orders that every red state would spend their entire budget fighting in court, and be Carter 2.0 for anything having to do with Congress. I’d still vote for him.
Patriot isn’t someone blindly rooting for the government, I would say. Also I wish we didn’t have so many shitty governments to remind us about that
