    Straight-up disinformation.

    Here’s the entire article:

    https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/17/politics/mamdani-bernie-sanders-washington

    Where does it report that Sanders said that? Absolutely nowhere.

    #EDIT:
    Is this community even moderated!? Up for over a day with a clearly false quote that the subject never said. And OP has demonstrated they’re not engaging in good faith. There’s plenty of other news communities that don’t allow blatant disinformation…

        Your. title. is. a. quote. One that Sanders never said. How are you not understanding that??

        And the next sentence is:

        Both are critics of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s handling of its war in Gaza.

        Why are you spreading a false narrative?

          This is what happens when sealions make posts. Instead of seeking out an argument, they placed some bait and waited for us to arrive. I’m blocked OP, I suggest all reasonable people do the same.

              I appreciate the concern, but this level of doubling down on blatant misinformation is enough for me to not care about what else they have to share or say.

          My title is not a quote it is a parody on Bernie’s fellow Zionist Democrat Chuck Shumer

            Sanders is neither a zionist nor a democrat.

              Supporting the existence of Israel as a Jewish state is being a Zionists. What do you think would happen if arabs ever become the dominant group in israel?

              Does Bernie Sanders support the existence of the Israeli Apartheid yes or no?

            I agree with Donald Trump on everything - @geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml

            You see how that format works? It shows attribution, in both our cases falsely so. Saying someone said something they didn’t isn’t “parody”, it’s not funny, it’s just dishonest. Though I don’t know why I’m bothering arguing with someone clearly intent on spreading disinformation…

              Now provide me with evidence which supports this statement.

              whats problematic about Sanders’s stand is that he rejects the idea that what Israel is doing is genocide, while also condemning the violence.

              https://www.palestinechronicle.com/word-genocide-makes-me-queasy-sanders-slammed-in-ireland-for-gaza-stance-video/

              I dont think many of us on this thread have opinions that disagree with each other.

              edit: its also pretty damned problematic that he opposes BDS and signs legislation that tries to make it illegal.

                I think what’s more problematic is opposing BDS and opposing a one state solution

                  ugh, I wasnt aware he opposes BDS. He’s clearly a bit of a douche where Israel is concerned.
