Sure he might literally protect fascists who are ethnically cleansing Chican@ people but DO YOU WANT THE REPUBLICANS TO WIN?
More awful shit Bernie has done:
-Supported a “stronger border”, making life harder for the undocumented, who already live under constant fear of arrest and deportation: http://www.rawstory.com/2015/07/bernie-sanders-explodes-a-right-wing-myth-open-borders-no-thats-a-koch-brothers-proposal/
-Supported genocide in occupied Palestine: http://www.mintpressnews.com/bernie-sanders-stance-on-israel-is-more-of-the-same-ole-same-ole/207529/
-Voted for a 1 billion dollar aid package to the coup government of Ukraine, a right wing, neoliberal government with many actual, literal Nazis (in the form of the widespread, popular and powerful Right Sector and Svoboda parties): http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/28/world/europe/senate-approves-1-billion-in-aid-for-ukraine.html?_r=1
-Voted for the bombing of Yugoslavia, which killed hundreds of civilians: http://www.alternet.org/election-2016/bernie-sanders-troubling-history-supporting-us-military-violence-abroad
-Voted to call for the extradition of Black liberation fighter Assata Shakur from Cuba, where she has been living in political asylum for thirty years: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/105-1998/h428
-Voted to authorize the war on Afghanistan, which has killed hundreds of thousands of people, mostly civilians: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2015/05/15/sand-m15.html
Can we make this go viral? Does tumblr give enough of a shit about the lives of the undocumented, Palestinians, Afghans and Kosovars to not jump in bed with someone who voted to kill them?
Addition: Bernie voted for the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement act of 1994, which authorized 1.7 billion for more cops to terrorize PoC, eliminated prisoner education grants, allocated large sums of money for the building of new prisons, made membership in a gang a criminal offense and made 60 new crimes liable for the death penalty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violent_Crime_Control_and_Law_Enforcement_Act http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CREC-1994-04-13/html/CREC-1994-04-13-pt1-PgH49.htm http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/08/joe-biden-crime-bill-mass-incarceration
Updates:
Bernie made more racist/colonialist remarks about the undocumented:
Bernie is against reparations for slavery:
Bernie stated he would continue imperialist drone bombings, which kill mostly civilians:

Please, reblog this. Even if you’re a berner, the public needs to know these things.

You know what’s fun? Reclaiming your femininity after years of feeling and acting like you couldn’t be “girly” because “girly” things were “bad.” Man I’ll fuck you up with red lipstick on while wearing a sun dress and drinking a wine cooler, don’t think I won’t.
She’s beauty, she’s grace, she’ll punch you in the face.

it’s important that we pay tribute to Leelah and Zander, but it’s also important that we pay tribute to the five trans women of color murdered in 2015 so far. I have seen next to nothing about these women. They are just as important as Leelah or Zander. They deserve the same recognition. They deserve the same respect. Remember their names.
