Iâm just shocked, SHOCKED that gambling was going in my campaign. I never saw it. I never heard the strident misogynistic roar from my supporters either!
Queue the usual suspects of detractors who have delivered Democratic Party ineffectiveness for decades, enabling Republicans for years, but suddenly now embrace ideas Sanders has been advocating for all his political career.
I donât know what Art is, but I know TPM âNew Democratâ bullshit when I see it.
Sometimes when youâre spending all your time scolding others for their moral failings, you just donât get around to achieving equitable conditions in the one realm you actually have control over, is that it? Sounds legit.
Beg pardon but I always thought people who worked full time should be able to live on their pay, and I always thought a society as rich as ours should have universal health care since all the comparable ones did and poorer ones besides. I tried not to be a vainglorious moralizing dick about it, and I tried not to sabotage the campaign of other actual Democrats. But if Iâm the problem then again I beg your pardon. Sorry.
Then how can you run the executive branch?
Weird situation for an old white guy to be inâŚ
âIâm not aware of whatâs going on in my organizationâ is an interesting message for somebody who appears to be running for office so he can run a really large organization.
I used to think Bernie Sanders wasnât a reasonable candidate simply because he was too idealistic/principled to be an effective politician. Sometimes, the world seems to have boundless capacity to disappoint me.
Millions of people got health care because of Obama. A bunch are losing it cause the purity brigade sat on their hands.
By my count, roughly half the democrats in the house are pretty progressive. That is not a majority of the house, so you have a choice: ally yourself with those in your party who are less progressive, or who represent less progressive districts; or sit on your hands and let the GOP run wild.
I know what many with similar views tow you have said over the years: they called me an idiot and a collaborator and denigrate my point of view as âlesser evilismâ, without ever addressing whether lesser evilism is always such a bad thing.
The article doesnât mention it, but Sanders spent the first 2 minutes of his âapologyâ talking about how awesome his campaign was and how many states won and how they started with a hot-dog stand and ended up buying GM.
You seem nice.
Whereâs your tax returns, Bernie?
Hillary has it in the bag!!!
Congratulations on your textbook whataboutism. Hillary Clinton is almost certainly not running for office in 2020 and whatever errors she made in campaign operation/administration are of purely historical interest.
we put forward the strongest set of principles in terms of mandatory training, in terms of women, if they felt harassed, having an independent firm that they can go to. And I think thatâs kind of the gold standard for what we should be doing.â
That was one of those no apology apologies, Saying I am sorry if your feelings are hurt doesnât take ANY responsibility for what his campaign did nor does it acknowledge that sexual harassment happened. It just says you âfeelâ like it happened. What a bunch of Bernie hogwash. If he is too busy to know what is happening in his campaign perhaps he is too busy to run for President. Go away.
He also knew nothing about the misogyny directed towards Hillary Clinton.
He was disciplined. That does not mean she approved of his behavior, or is your need to blame your hangnail and everything else wrong in your life on Hillary Clinton your overriding issue?
soooooo
how much of a âmom and popâ operation was the 2016 Sanders presidential operation?
yes, and he didnât hear anything like that at the Democratic National Convention, nor did he try hard to stop it. I suspect he knew he was better off having no control of his supporters.
This is pretty much of a non-apology, and the claims were from 2016, so why is he talking about how super special 2018 was?
Also, how does he expect to be able to run the Executive Branch if he couldnât figure out how to hire decent folks in 2016, because he was so âbusyâ running around the country?
He reminds me of Trump: constitutionally incapable of accepting responsibility.
