Bernie Sanders Spent $221K in 1st quarter 2025 on Private Jets Amid 'Fighting Oligarchy' Tour

[Woodznutz]

Damn, only $221K? He must be charting the cheapest plane out there. Shit, I bet it costs more every time tRump flies to Mar-A-Lardo for the weekend.

Ya gotta follow the money. Operating a private jet airline service is expensive. Bernie is just spreading it around mostly to American workers. True oligarchs are busy sending work overseas. Good on ya, Bernie.

"Bernie Sanders refuses to apologize for flying on private jets for ‘Fighting Oligarchy’ tour: ‘You think I’m gonna be sitting on a waiting line at United?’"​

"No apologies for that,' Sanders, 83, told Fox News’ 'Special Report' late Wednesday when asked about the backlash. 'That’s what campaign travel is about. We’ve done it in the past. We’re gonna do it in future.'

"'You run a campaign and you do three or four or five rallies in a week. That’s the only way you can get around to talk to 30,000 people,' he told host Bret Baier."

Before impugning Sanders, we need to calculate the actual carbon footprint per passenger mile on private vs commercial jet travel.

to try to understand
why the man of the people
the self-dedicated social communist,

Lives like a fuckin' King.



He has out Oligarched
the Oligarchy.

I can tell you Vermont
is feeling the burn everyday.

They're desperate to follow anybody

Tarzan and Jane are worth
25 million dollars.

Why do you keep falling for these con artists?

No, that misses the point, which I suppose is your intent. Anyone not lecturing others on it have every right to use air travel any way they see fit.

Son, it's not me falling for con artists.

How much tRump merch you got?

I have no problem with Bernie, or Al Gore, burning up jet fuel in their activities. I waste fuel in mine as well.

Why would you have a problem with it? it's not harming the planet, if it was none of you would be doing it.

I have a problem with those contributing 1000X more hot air individually in a year than a family of 4 can. These polluters then educate the average person about the importance of fighting global warming.

It's harming the planet, if only just a little.

You can't fault their intentions, but their methods are suspect.

See that, all we have to do is respect each others opinions and allow everyone to decide for themselves how much harm or good he/she/they are doing to the planet and this all goes away...good job nutz

And like you each of us will decide for ourselves what that is, you set a good example for the rest of us to follow.

I do my best to demonstrate what is really important.

Wrong.
It was a political tour, so then donations is what would have been spent.
Politicians do not spend their own money.
