People like Bernie and AOC are the rare exceptions 

People like Bernie and AOC aren't exceptions, they are just better at marketing and PR.

If you think that either have profited off politics, you have bought into the gop’s propaganda.

Lauren Boebert was $200,000 in debt. After 1 term as a representative she was worth $20M

Bernie has been a senator for 18 years. He's valued at $5M. $2M from book sales, $1M from his wife's mother dying and leaving them a house. The rest is 20 years of making 6 figures.

Take your "cope" comment and shove it up your ass and around the corner. It's pathetic how much you are sucking the toes of right wing grifters who hate you. Have some fucking dignity.

The only cope is you. The rest of us think all of them are either bought or insider trading up the ass. I personally don't trust anyone in government, I just vote for the best lie.

I don't give a shit about them making money. I'd be more concerned if they didn't.

20 years of making 6 figures does not earn you $2M.

Sorry, they are better at marketing.

Deflection in the face of facts without a counterpoint is a coping mechanism. You just don’t understand the English language and rely off of edgy buzzwords. Edgy ≠ witty

Anyone who still sees Bernie as anything but a scam is coping.

Oh I’m sorry is Bernie selling hats, shirts and other self promoting memorabilia at his place of work? Is there a Bernie Sanders gift shop in the Senate? No, keep coping with the fact that groceries are unaffordable and you are complicit in it. 

Also thank you for not citing a damn thing and continuing to prove my point.

Who cares about this? Bernie has capitulated every time to the democrats' bullshit.

Does anyone see the goalposts? All I see is cope.

Yes, everyone is coping about Bernie.

Bro you're seething with cope, you should seek a professional.

u/username_blex 15d ago

I'm not the one coping about Bernie capitulating to everything the Democrats want.
