(Parody) Bernie Sanders says Thanos has a right to vote in U.S. elections
[Disclaimer: This article is a parody story. While some events in this article are actually taking place, it is written for comedy purposes and shouldn’t be taken too seriously.]
Murderers, terrorists and genocidal maniacs.
That’s who Bernie Sanders wants to give voting rights to.
The Vermont Socialist caused widespread criticism from conservatives last week after saying that Thanos, the Mad Titan, deserved to vote after wiping out half the universe.
Sanders’ remarks come as the second round of 2020 Democratic Presidential Debates begin tonight in Detroit. He suggests that Thanos, the arch-nemesis of the Avengers, should be allowed to vote in U.S. elections.
“Thanos is just a misunderstood purple alien,” Sanders said at a CNN town hall event. “He doesn’t deserve to be disenfranchised by an oppressive capitalist system in the United States. Who cares if he’s not a citizen?”
The Mad Titan wiped out half of all sentient life in the universe after gathering all six Infinity Stones in “Avengers: Infinity War,” including half of humanity. The Avengers’ efforts to undo “The Snap” are featured in the film, “Avengers: Endgame.”
Conservative leaders went on the offensive against Sanders, quick to point out that Thanos is a fictional character and that he isn’t an American citizen, so he has no right to vote in the United States.
“This is disgusting,” Kansas Treasury Secretary Jake LaTurner (Republican), who is running for a Kansas Senator seat in 2020, posted on Facebook. “Sanders believes a genocidal maniac like Thanos deserves the right to vote in our elections. This goes against everything great about our country.”
At publishing time, the other 24 other Democrat candidates haven’t responded to comments about whether they will attack the Vermont Socialist over his Thanos remarks during the debates.
