"I am very concerned about what appears to be a coup in Bolivia, where the military, after weeks of political unrest, intervened to remove President Evo Morales."





Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday became the first 2020 Democratic presidential candidate to speak out against Sunday's military coup in Bolivia which saw that country's President Evo Morales forced to resign before going into hiding.

"I am very concerned about what appears to be a coup in Bolivia, where the military, after weeks of political unrest, intervened to remove President Evo Morales," Sanders tweeted. "The U.S. must call for an end to violence and support Bolivia's democratic institutions."

The Vermont senator's comments came after a day of mounting pressure to speak out from his left-wing grassroots movement. Earlier Monday, as Common Dreams reported, Sanders supporter Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) condemned the coup in no uncertain terms.

"The people of Bolivia deserve free, fair, and peaceful elections," said Ocasio-Cortez, "not violent seizures of power."

Sanders' expression of support for Morales was welcomed by supporters.

"By far the biggest difference between Bernie and the rest of the Democratic candidates is how well versed he is in and how much he cares about the type of international left issues that, say, The Nation writes a lot about," said reporter Matthew Zeitlin.

Earlier Monday, Sanders released a new plan to help veterans; held a town hall with veterans in Des Moines, Iowa; and published at Jewish Currents an essay on combatting anti-Semitism.

Because our sh*t works for everyone who works it...

That’s why commie lefty bullsh*t always fails. It in it’s essence is constructed to reward those who contribute the least. When people have a stake in their own self interests the magic happens.

That’s what these third world fu*ks will never get.

Morales pulled most of Bolivia out of poverty, so your argument doesn't hold up.

The real thing is if you play nice with US interests, you get to continue, if you don't the US either backs a coup against you or hits you with a ton of sanctions and your country starves.

Look at Saudi and Israel. Terrible human rights violations, but the US still backs them because of the money made off of Saudi and the intelligence given by Israel. Now look at Iran, Venezuela and Bolivia. Sure they aren't perfect, but in comparison to Saudi they're nowhere near as bad, but they don't play nice with US interests and they're constantly demonized in the media.

Shouts to bernie for caring about human beings

What are you even talking about?

This has nothing to do with communism. Everything to do with capitalism. Morales wanted to nationalize Bolivia's lithium mines. So the money from the industry stayed in the country. Mines that would use Bolivian workers. Lithium batteries are going to be a main component needed for electric vehicles in the future. Morales was looking out for the workers in those mines. Now, they are going to get some jagoff that licks the CIA's boots and the workers are fu*ked.

It happened to Iran when they wanted to control their country's oil.

It happened in Brazil in 1964 when the military staged a coup against the democratically elected president. That coup was supported by the US State Department and last until 1985. When Brazil held their first elections in over 20 years.

It happened in Venezuela. Let me stop here. Because you seem to lack knowledge about the US involvement in overthrowing democratically elected governments in South America.

Your last sentence really shows that. These people are trying to take control of their own sh*t and use it to their own benefit.

You should read Confessions of an Economic Hitman. You're being misled by the communism narrative.

You know I lured you in here right. Like you know I'm about to call you out on your bullsh*t talking about Bernie right?

Meanwhile the guy in office has been making tough statements about other presidents then sucking them off when he meets them in person

Its not abnormal for any politician to speak on things happening throughout the world. This invisible glass box some of you expect politicians to sit in has never existed in politics, and never will. I suppose its one of those criticisms people lob at those they don't agree with.

Yet I remember you writing in Jill Stein rather than voting for Trump or Hillary. Look at who has been talking about the Bolivian Coup, even more so than Bernie

On the contrary, fam. America has been great is what It saying.

Never voted for 45. Voted for 44 twice. I don’t fit in some box they tell me to...

Pro smoke, pro choke,
Anti-broke, conservative liberal
Left-wing slangin', right-wing hangin'
In criminal court, it's civil.

Every aspect of my life is in a positive state. You wanna talk about koolaid and matrixes and red and blue pills and sh*t...

Bro if you spent a day in my life, trust me you’d drink whatever it is too.

You need to think more critically and for yourself. Neither side is on YOUR side. I’m not asking you to like the way the world is setup, I’m suggesting you accept it, learn it and apply it and get on the working side of it.

I’m 32, financially independent and healthy. I don’t really know what one of you dudes could tell me I haven’t already figured out, a*sessed, and discarded or used to my advantage.

Sin said fu*k them Bolivians, what is he doing for me?

n*ggas slap your post but it’s the truth. We voting for a Us president. Tired of presidents choosing foreign issues over taking care of the home front.

Ah... there was a plot for a coup in the USA.

The problem was the man picked to lead the coup was a real hero warrior that loved America and he warned the President and the US citizens about it.

I don't believe you, the entire post is MAGA talk and you want me to believe you're anything other than that, please son. I know MAGA talk when I see it all the other BS you wrote is just that, BS, same damn phrases and talking points in your response as well...save it, I don't believe it..

You can believe or not believe it at your own detriment. That’s sort of the point.

I’d imagine there’s quite a lot in your life you believe that doesn’t serve you. I see it daily on here from dudes.
