Summary
Senator Bernie Sanders criticized Elon Musk over his support for the H-1B visa program, calling it a tool for corporations to replace good-paying American jobs with lower-wage foreign labor.
Sanders cited data showing U.S. companies laid off 85,000 American workers between 2022 and 2023 while hiring 34,000 H-1B visa holders, arguing this undermines U.S. competitiveness.
Musk, who credits the visa program for his success, defended it, stating he’s ready to “go to war” over the issue.
The debate has divided MAGA conservatives, exposing rifts within Trump’s coalition.
No Bernie let them fight. “Never Interfere With an Enemy While He’s in the Process of Destroying Himself.”
Oh he’s absolutely letting them fight, he’s just stoking them up more playing into the big issue splitting the republican party in two.
Yes it’s perfect.
Strong disagree. Keep them riled up. Make sure musk isn’t able to distract them.
I think the expression is “Don’t interrupt your enemy when he’s making a mistake.”
smarter choice to attack elon, trump wont be with us that much longer in the grand scheme of things. good chance he passes in office. one way or another

Put a hold on that popcorn. It’s not a civil war. Elon and Trump are in agreement. What’s happening is some MAGA supporters are going through the five stages of grief. They seem to be somewhere around anger and bargaining. Trump conned his supporters like he conned his employees before them. Now Trump supporters are working their way to accepting Trump was always going to enrich himself and billionaires at their expense.
Now would be a good time to start pulling people away from MAGA. People need an alternative. Taking the wealth of billionaires as well as the source of their wealth would be a good start. Not to mention systemic change to our government’s institutions.
He should. They’re a few facts away from him being their actual representative candidate.
So now Bernie sanders is pulling a “they’re taking our jobs”? We are living in strange times.
He’s been consistent on these issues for a while. “Open borders? That’s a Koch brothers proposal.”
Sanders cited data showing U.S. companies laid off 85,000 American workers between 2022 and 2023 while hiring 34,000 H-1B visa holders, arguing this undermines U.S. competitiveness.
He’s against 85k americans getting fired, and being replaced by LESS immigrants.
Aren’t these separate issues? I won’t pretend to know much about this, but it does seem like some companies are taking advantage of H-1B employees.
That’s the point Bernie is making, American companies are firing American workers to hire H-1B at much lower wages.
Never did I imagine living in a dimension that this was not so glaringly obvious that it needed to be said… [clocks room] We’re fucked.
“The cheaper the labor they hire, the more money the billionaires make,” Sanders added.
So now Bernie sanders is pulling a “they’re taking our jobs”?
Honestly can’t tell if serious
What if I told you that illegal immigrants are essentially slaves, and far cheaper to hire than visa holders?
What if I told you, “no shit sherlock”.
And you don’t think the rich benefit from that?
You’ve made it this far while entirely avoiding taking a fucking hint so expecting you to read words and be permitted to interpret them yourself is just completely unfair, so here is the definition:
No shit, Sherlock:
- That is or was completely obvious or self-evident.
- The ironical reference to the famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes is meant to emphasize that the thing mentioned did not require any great intelligence or deduction to determine or know.
What you said, that I responded, “no shit sherlock”, to is superfluously obvious. It required literally no work of thought to comprehend.
So here’s how I handle posts that start by linking to dictionary.com; I assume the person on the other end is a pretentious douche, I stop reading, and I reply to explain why so they don’t waste any more time writing things I’m not going to read.
Lol, maybe next time just think before you type. It’s not hard. And maybe the fact that you have met so many “pretentious douches” should tell you that maybe the rest of the world isn’t as pretentious as you are simple. Maybe the common denominator in all of your experiences with assholes is you. And maybe outsourcing your critical thought to everyone around you makes you an incorrigible drag on society. Good thing you didn’t read this though.

Bernie had his chance and so did the rest of the paid off Democrats
gloves on both sides are off and even if Democrats magically win the next election nothing will change
once Bernie dies someone else will be appointed to be the single nutjob that appears to be on the side of the citizens all for show
Speaking of people being paid off…
Look at Bernie’s entire life of fighting this shit and say that again.
No one is ever pure enough for Verdant Banana’s purity test. But you’d think they would at least take time to be happy that Harris lost considering how hard they tried to make that happen.
Bernie Sanders left the Democratic Party in 2020 and is an independent. If you’re going to bash someone for their affiliations, at least check first.
And he only went from I to D in 2016 to run on the D ticket.
Moron alert
