    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.

        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?
