Bernie Sanders: Incarcerating a Country (4/13/1994)

[NWCorona]

"Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) denounces the federal crime bill, arguing that Congress needs to address the very serious issues that underlie the problems of crime and addiction – poverty, hunger, unemployment, social and economic alienation; Sanders laments the attention to jails and punishment in crime prevention."

1. And then he went out and VOTED FOR IT

Bernie, you have blood on your hands.

2. To save lives, women's lives:

Bernie opposed the parts of the crime bill that disproportionately affected AAs, unlike your candidate who pushed for them.

History is hard.

3. And if he didn't you would be raking him over the coals for...

Voting against the Domestic Violence against women provisions of the bill. So please spare us.

4. But he didn't use demonizing language to push it through & warned of the consequences

And neither did any of the CBC members when they voted.

Bernie excepts his role in that Bill.

10. Bernie is completely consistent.

So is Hillary - she always goes the wrong way. And, she flip flops only when she's campaigning.

11. Sanders has always been way smarter than Clinton on the issues that matter most.

At best she catches up to him when the damage is already done.

12. yes, he has been way smarter and more effective
