Dude, get over yourself. Did you see the quote marks around the expression "old commie Jew"? It is NOT a literal statement of fact, it is a representation of what the opposition thinks of him.

The point is that Bernie, whatever you call him, is WAY to the left of mainstream America. He never had any real serious chance of being elected President and he stillo doesn't. If we couldn't get Harris elected, Bernie isn't even on the road map.
But I LOVE the guy and I hope he keeps doing what he is doing because it is a rallying point for the people. And we need that right now.
Just don't get confused between someone who can help us win and someone who can win himself. He is the former, not the latter.
Apologies, I was reminded of when, during the 2015 primary race, my right-wing brother-in-law asked me if Bernie Sanders is the same kind of communist as Hitler. I guess I'm just sensitive to feeding the right-wing propensity to label every liberal as a communist. My experience with right-wingers is that most of them don't know the difference between a communist and a fascist. They don't realize that they are now fascists.
