Because it’d mean you’re power tripping? You made a strawman argument and rightfully got told off for it, completely ignoring your own rule of “be respectful”. You have a responsibility as a mod of this community to be better than that.
He appears on TV because that’s been the main way to reach Americans enmasse for decades. Not everyone is on the internet 24/7 or watches independent media. Yes, the people who own and run these stations are not good people, but that does not change who Bernie is.
Now for the real question: Why do you assume everyone who appears on cable news is automatically a fascist? What is it about an interview over the news that makes Bernie’s entire past (again, 60 years, dude. Cable TV didn’t exist back then) as someone who fights for the working class suddenly irrelevant? Are you going to claim that a 9 year old who wins a spelling bee is a fascist because they appeared on their local news channel to celebrate? Is a local soup kitchen run by fascists because the news did a story on them?
Do you even have a clue how unreasonable your position is here?
Oh, yes. The person who has been on the side of the working class who has fought for civil and worker’s rights for 60 years is totally a fascist plant. Were you dropped on your head as a child? It’s okay, you can be honest.
That user has been through hundreds upon hundreds of accounts doing exactly that for well over a year. They’re not mentally stable.
That blinking is a good thing. That means that the bulb is running on a pre-heat starter, which gets the electrodes hot before sending full voltage through the fixture. This greatly extends the light’s lifespan. The modern “rapid start” and “instant start” starters just do the shotgun approach of forcing a ton of voltage through the tube, which succeeds in instantly starting it but also blasts off some of the emissive coating on the filaments. A tube running on one of those starters will fail a lot faster and the ends of the tubes will blacken quickly from the coating.
I love you too, Yanky-poo!
Lmao go kick rocks, Yanks. You know as well as I do that I was talking about left wing politicians in North America. You’re just looking for an excuse to be abusive.
Oh, the irony. If only Yanks was self aware enough to see it.
Geneva also likes to attack Mamdani, because he doesn’t pass whatever nonsensical purity test Geneva has despite Mamdani being the most left wing politician to win an election in America for years. .ml does weird shit to its users’ brains.

Join us! I’ve ditched my lemmy.ca account as well. No support for tankie software.
Man, I remember when trolls used to be subtle. I mean, come on. Brand new account saying something meant to generate outrage? Obvious troll is obvious.
Just Antiyanks, a sad little troll who’s spent almost 2 years making accounts to harass people on this community and occasionally elsewhere. They really have nothing else better to do, having made well over a thousand accounts by now.
Your threats mean nothing when we all know you’ll never leave the house to act on them, Yanks. You have nothing better to do with your time than make accounts to yell at strangers online LMAO
That’s extremely petty.
