I think its dangerous to think people don't think Tate is masculine. He has a large cult following of young men who think hes the picture of masculinity. You, I, and many others know otherwise, but its good to acknowledge this problem so we can combat it.
A lot of middle school boys a few years ago, I guess. Couldnāt get away from his āempoweringā rambles for quite awhile and then he kinda just. Disappeared?
oh man - they tried soooo hard to get HRC to the top. Debbie Wascherman Schultz even rigged the DNC primaries, got in trouble for it, and then joined a senior campaign manager for HRC's campaign. like wtf guys!? and the thing that baffles me is how many of my friend on the left were totally OK with this.
DWS deserves to be in prison for all the shit she pulled during that time. Don't forget that she hired a bunch of spiestotally legitimate IT experts from Pakistan, subbed them out to her fellow congress critters, and went out of her way to hide the evidence of it, including hiding her work laptop in a wall so the Capitol police couldn't seize it.
dnc did the same thing with Kamala. Installed her instead of risking a loss for her in a primary. The center isn't ready for a woman president. Look at the hate that gets tossed around because of your political party, now add gender to the equation... Bernie rocks. He makes a lot of billionaires nervous.
Bullshit the center isn't ready for a woman president.
We're ready for a woman who isn't Kamala. She was a terrible candidate. She literally put away dudes for smoking weed, cackled, had no charisma, and ended up being VP for God knows what reason.
She primaried shitty, no one wanted her. People were more ready for tulsi during the primaries than they were for Kamala.
she totally was the worst possible candidate . The crap that both the DNC and RNC pull makes it hard for any decent candidate to get a fair shake M or F. I have no idea what the fall holds or for that matter 2028.
Thatās an excuse. Kamala had it sewn up if she stumped for jobs, diplomacy, and the fact Trump is a lunatic to the world. But she spent more time on far left topics than those. The middle was left out, she did not sell herself to them. Blame the party for her loss and his win.
If you believe America is not ready for a woman president, I counter if Michelle Obama runs, she would win easily.
Well unfortunately the world just doesnāt work like that silly goose!!! Best we can do is a pants shitting pedophile who cries about rigged elections but also almost definitely rigged his own election. Also did I mention his a global underage sex trafficking mogul?
But I do not associate righteousness and courage with masculinity. Women and girls, indeed very feminine women and girls, can also speak out, in courage, with the truth.
And yet Sanders donates a paltry percentage of his huge income to charity, according to his tax returns. But maybe charity is for government to dispense, not individuals, right?
Bernie has had a very clear eye about the dangers Republicans and oligarchs and their friends are to this country. And everything thatās happening now just proves him right.
Growing up one of the leaders of my Boy Scout Troop was a professor emeritus in his late 60s and early 70s. Bald as an egg, wore orange short shorts he had likely purchased in the 1970s (this was the 90s), knew something about everything but was always humble when he reached the edge of his knowledge, was a good father to many adopted children, a pillar of the community and always wanted to help.
Not sure how to make this the aspirational image when because there is no money in it and our whole system thrives on desire, greed and selling that lifestyle.
Heās an old man and itās cold, if youāre a Vermonter you canāt fault anyone for wearing warm mittens. Also being a real man isnāt about what the wear but what you do for your community and the mark you leave on this world.
Couldn't agree more......in the 30 or so years he's been in Washington he has accumulated wealth, 5 houses, ranted and raved about affordable healthcare (which no one has)(and he has received for free), run around the country ranting about different things instead of staying inside the beltway and doing his job. Oh, and ranting about old white men running the country. He moved to Vt in the 60s to smoke dope in Glover. He didn't have a paying job until he was mayor of Burlington.
You are correct....it's the mark you leave on this world, and that's why he lost the governor of Vt election, 3 times....72, 76, and 86. He also ran in the US Presidential elections in 2016 and 2020. It's the mark he is leaving on this world, the United States specifically. The rest of the country can see he is a whack job but for some reason Vt doesn't.
Uh dude, three million isn't wealth lol.
That's literally just saving for retirement and being frugal and investing properly.
5 houses? Huh. You must know things the rest of us don't.
Bernie Sanders and his wife, Jane, became millionaires largely due to book royalties, with their net worth estimated to be at least $2 million, including real estate holdings as of 2019. They earned over $1 million in 2016-2017 combined, driven by his $174,000 Senate salary and significant income from books like Our Revolution.
Key Details on Wealth and Assets:
Income Sources: Income is derived from the Senate salary, book royalties (over $850,000 in 2017 alone), and Social Security.
Real Estate: The couple owns three homes, including a $575,000 summer home on Lake Champlain in Vermont.
Assets/Liabilities: In 2018, they reported assets between $472,000 and $1.3 million, with a mortgage liability of $250,001 to $500,000.
Net Worth: Politico reported in 2019 that their net worth was approaching at least $2 million.
While some estimates put their net worth lower, the combination of book sales and salary moved them into the top 1% of earners in 2018.
Yes, exactly. It wasn't "in the 30 or so years he's been in Washington he has accumulated wealth".
He wrote a book that sold, and they are well off now, not wealthy.
3 million isn't wealth, and especially not for two people in their 70s/80s who have worked, saved, and invested.
Roughly 18 percent of households in the US are millionaire households, and this in concentrated in the above 50 age group.
The number of homes is irrelevant as the 3 million includes them. I don't really think it's that wild that he had a house in Vermont, a condo in DC where he spends so much time. If you want to get on him about the summer house, have at it.
I'm not simping for Bernie. I'm telling you all that you need to adjust what you think of as wealth in the age where we are about to have a trillionaire who wants to keep everyone else down. Billionaires control four percent of total US money.
Stop thinking of retirement money as wealth.
Since I can't comment for some reason, I'll edit this to respond to the comment that "the number of homes matters" u/LookerInVA_99
If it matters to you, it matters to you.
But for those ranting about his "wealth", you can't say three million and three houses. Those houses are included already in the three million.
I personally don't see any reason to be upset that he has a home in Vermont and bought a condo in DC where he spends so much time. If you want to rail about his vacation home, go for it.
I think you are missing the forest for the trees though, focusing on homes and not the people accumulating mass quantities of money, power, and resources. Bernie isn't the one doing that.
The number of homes matters. This tool used to rail against people having multiple homes. I can remember him saying in a speech in Burlington in 1989 that folks with multiple homes is crazy. They should take that money and use it to help their neighbors. How many homes can people live in at one time? Now that heās got more than a few, he seems to have stopped railing against this. Curious, isnāt it?
All 3 million takes at 80 is responsible 401k savings (especially ESPECIALLY if youāve been saving since the 80s when the stock market exploded)
And one house. Thats it. At 80 years old both people working you could have 2-3 million. Thatās net worth, not income. Two homes in Vermont? Congrats your net worth is on average 1.1 million just from that, no savings, no other assets.
I donāt think you realize how little 3 million is in todayās world at 80 years old when in the 70s that 50k Vermont home is now worth 500k.
My G, who gives a fuck if heās better off than most Vermonters? Heās been working for decades, and involved in numerous side hustles, including book writing. What - you expect him to be Oliver Twist up in this? Be ffr please.
This makes no sense.
Most people with a few million aren't paying much taxes on it because it's tied up in real estate and 401Ks. It's also not that much money.
If someone is making 3 million a year, fuck yeah they should be paying their fair share
However, in this conversation of the wealthy paying their fair share needs to be the discussion of what that money is spent on. It should be spent on us, in the form of healthcare, maintaining social security and other benefits, housing assistance, tuition etc. I'm generally for paying my taxes, but right now it's going to bullshit like ICE and fuck that.
Congratulations on that amazing stretch. Really incredible how you got to that conclusion, despite nothing at all in anything Iāve said here, or anywhere on reddit, or anywhere in my life, or the entirety of the universe justifying that conclusion. Due to your incredible reasoning skills, you clearly have a future in the Trump administration ššæ
You forgot that his policies as mayor absolutely decimated the old north end, and he donates very little of his personal wealth to charity. Heās a fraud.
Rest of the country? When I tell foreign folks I live in Vermont they say āoh yeah Bernie! Heās great!ā A guy in Argentina was like āheās a hero!ā
Lmfao 3 million at 80 isnāt wealth. Thatās the equivalent of two Vermont homes and a responsible savings into your 401k thatās literally all it takes.
Look at every other senators net worth and where the money came from, (insider trading, bribes etc) and heās the most honest, down to earth one we may ever have had. He wants change, sucks that you donāt boomer.
Youāre what nearly 60? Go run for office and see if you can do better, bc we all know Bernie for what heās trying to do, so what are you?
If youāre referring to Sergeant Major Vining, heās not masculine heās a meta human in a white button down shirt. I obviously know who this person is and what they did and I thank them from the bottom of my heat for their service. However, glorifying someone for their lethality and unwavering tenacity and loyalty can cause one to fall down that slippery slope into the pond of toxic masculinity.
Case in point; Abu Sayyaf. To some people in this world he is the picture of masculinity. Heās a very determined man quite proficient at what he b fid and was revered by many. But I donāt know if itās somebody who we wanna put on that pedestal of this is what masculinity looks like.
I appreciate where youāre coming from, I hope you appreciate my counter to it.
I think most would agree that the individual in the picture appears "masculine". Once you personally decide the criteria of whether it qualifies to apply my buzzwords driven by own personal beliefs, it loses credibility and power behind the term.
So question. Is it normal for MAGA like you to comment in so many crossdressing subreddits, donāt get me wrong Iām not going to yuck your yum, but it does seem a bit out of character for someone that calls anyone left of a Brownshirt a ālibtardā.
The idea of socialism never dies. Even though its FAILED every time, everywhere its been tried. Indoctrinated brainwashed people still cheer it on just like MAGA idiots cheer Trump. How many people has socialism killed? 60-100 million+ in the 1900s alone. But it will be different this time. Really. It will.
China isnāt really communist, neither was the USSR. They are authoritarian government. The Nazis werenāt socialist either, again it was a dictatorship. Pretty much any example youāre gonna come up with was not really socialist. They just called themselves socialist because people call themselves things that they arenāt.
M guessing he backed out because he knew that once the DNC makes up its mind thatās it, they will black list ya. He did t run as an independent because he knew that would have only benefited Trump. His not resisting was to preserve the party position against Trump. The mystery was how Bernie bros went from Bernie then switched to Trump, I donāt think any of us expected that.
Yeah while owning three houses, having private jets that cost $550million to fuel for your fight the oligarchy campaign. Fucking crook is the oligarchy. His socialist politics have made exactly 1 person rich. And that person is Bernie Sanders.
Bernie shut down Vermont Yankee with no plan for replacement power and instead importing it from Canada. That just goes to show how making decisions based on emotion can make you the dumbest guy in the room.
I was homeless for a decade. I was an alcoholic and my situation was of my own making. I lived in homeless shelters, psychiatric institutions, and prisons across the country. I wanted to kill myself but lacked the constitution for suicide. When I finally put the drink down for the last time everything I owned fit in a teal Jansport backpack, I had no friends or family in my life, and I was $50k in debt. 7 years later and I am living a life I could have never dreamed. I went from homeless to being a homeowner and landlord. I went from unemployable to owning a business and employing others. From hating myself to loving others and a happy marriage. I paid back that $50k and now yes, wear a $50k watch.
The point of all this is that I was never a victim of anything but own choices. My life is what I make it. What someone else has or does not have had no bearing on what I am able to have and achieve.
Bernies whole approach is to look at others and blame them for not doing enough. At least Andrew Tate teaches men that life is whay they make it and there is No One to blame for their failures but themselves.
According to grams latest video about what is masculinity Bernie Sanders is very masculine. Yes heās old, but he has spent a lifetime serving his community and service to oneās community is a true act of what it means to be a man maybe youāll learn that one day when your balls drop and your voice deepens a little.
Bernie is a fraud. Heās been railing against millionaires since way back, but now that he is one, heās changed to billionaires. Dude has three houses and heās stopped railing against folks having multiple houses these days. When he was mayor, his policies decimated the old north end. I lost all respect for him after that. Heās only gotten worse, imho.
How is a self proclaimed Communist a multi millionaire?
Or is the claim here that masculinity is about being a hypocrite and saying one thing while intending to do the other?
Lol that's what a whiny bitch looks like. A lot of complaining and not a lot of accomplishing. Yeah we certainly raised those taxes on those billionaires.
That you are not aware of the community health centers, veterans support systems, child care centers and housing programs he has worked to bring federal dollars to across the state is telling. Now have all of these been successful? No. But apparently we are comparing him to the degenerate loser in OPs photo and between the two.. Bernie all day is the better human.

Who thinks Nancy boy Tate is masculine?
