Social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism

Bernie is and has always been a skilled political but at least he is not hypocritical and duplicitous like so many others.

You just blow in from stupid town or is this a bad sarcasm bit?

To clarify, Bernie Sanders supported NATO bombing Yugoslavia with the rationale of preventing genocide, he has never to my knowledge apologized or disagreed with this since then, he has a history of being willing to physically bomb a people to stop genocide, yet now he balks at sanctions(which he also is very happy to deploy, unless they are geopolitically inconvenient to him.)

Did you know that the most powerful way to win over people and debate effectively is to open up with an ad hominem?

Bernie is a human, and like most of us has been on the wrong side of things in the past, he is not on the wrong side here, but he does not have the support or backing to do more than use strong words.

But he didn’t use strong words. He bloviated in a way that makes liberals think he did, but he carefully avoided actually doing it.
