3. Not a surprise, since she was among the writers who endorsed him in 2016.

8. great author

11. Great Canadian author. Glad to hear Bernie is doing well in Canada.

15. I do not support Bernie, and spare me the casual and woefully ill-informed xenophobia

Klein is an American citizen as well, her parents were both Jewish Americans who left the United States for Canada as Vietnam War resisters. She has worked and lived in the US on and off for decades.

16. Consider yourself spared.

I am not sure where the xenophobia nonsense is coming from, but I love Canada. I am just not certain of the impact of an endorsement from Canada might have on Bernie's standing in his race for the President of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Call Bernie a xenophobe, but this is what he is running for.

17. she is an American citizen, just quit whilst you are behind nt

[beastie boy]

18. Ok, whatever you wish. Just keep in mind that she lives and works in Canada.

As long as you keep this in mind, you may have the last word. And Bernie gets a brownie point, if precious little else, for her endorsement.

19. I am a dual US/UK citizen, and do not live or work in the US atm, but I do vote and I

always will exercise my 1st Amendment Rights when it comes to US politics. I am sure Klein feels the same, as do hundreds of other dual-citizens on this board. It is condescendingly dismissive to try and negate citizens' opinions just because they have dual status, and/or live somewhere else at the present, and/or work outside the US.

Klein, btw, is an endowed, chaired professor at Rutgers University in New Jersey, which the last time I checked, was still in the United States.

10. The Naomi Klein who also said she'd vote for Hugo Chavez?

And who claimed that Chavez had renewed the Venezuelan people's "faith in the power of democracy to improve their lives?"

That Naomi Klein?

She sure knows how to pick 'em.

I wonder if she supports Evo Morales? LOL.

Good to know Canadians are trying to interfere with our elections.

13. Yes, and she is a Canadian citizen, and CANNOT VOTE IN OUR ELECTIONS. THis is laughable, but no

surprise

14. Wonder no more, myself. She's all in for the ousted democratic-socialist dictator Evo Morales

12. Isn't she a Canadian citizen, NOT a U.S. Citizen, so she can't even vote here. LOL

20. According to a post above,

she has dual citizenship. Apparently her parents are American. But whatever the case, she’s entitled to her opinion.
