Related: About this forum93%: Clinton is a Corporatist War Hawk, Bernie is a Populist against needless wars
That is two OPPOSITE ends of the spectrum.
The 93% they are touting is a worthless comparison.

(10,721 posts)Is that why he voted for so many wars , voted to oust Sadaam in 1998 and for military aid to Egypt and Israel?
Sanders caucused WITH the Dems , making Bernie a Corporatist too.
You cant have it both ways.

(1,674 posts)Bernie withheld voting on many dem corp bills. I think he has doubts about supporting Israel, or so he is voicing rather loudly. Good try, but no cigar.
Of coarse he is going to fund the troops once they were committed, any human would, thats not supporting corporation interests- duh

Illusions are much more fun. Paint opponent as war hawk while creating self as a dove, while voting every military action but one.

(1,473 posts)there were no troops in Iraq in '98 he voted for ousting Saddam , why was it okay then but not 4 years later?
There were no troops in Somalia until the vote to send them there ..including Bernard's, Kosovo Yugoslavia. He voted for war.
"being a corporatist isnt how you vote, its taking bribes"
What are the "bribes" for then?
Are all people who work for corporations bad? Why do you hate them so much? Shouldnt we be analyzing on an individual basis?
"I think he has doubts about supporting Israel, or so he is voicing rather loudly. Good try, but no cigar. "
Ah, so after praising Israel's attack on Gaza, and voting to give billions in military aid to Israel is not supporting Israel?
.... and then walking it back after he decided to run for president..mmhmmm .
oh yeah I got that cigar! and I'm gonna smoke it right on to Hillarys inauguration!

(1,473 posts)Nice convictions.
Super delegates now are suddenly fine to try and flip over the will of the voters
War is fine the several times Bernie votes for it, Hillary votes for all diplomatic efforts first, on one bill ..and she is a "war hawk"
the 94 crime bill is great when Bernie votes for it, but Hillary hates black people because she called drug dealers in urban areas "super predators" in 94.
Its fine when he voted for Wall street deregulation but if Hillary makes a speech at a bank she is a shill for the corrupt bankers.

(1,674 posts)as is her failure to be accepted into the boys club, her failures at legislation, and her bad decisions. She is a bad candidate- no one is going to work with her, period. discussion over.

(1,473 posts)you have convictions regardless of the fact that Bernie has also shown failures in legislation, bad decisions galore, that he's a bad candidate and NO ONE will work with him as proven by his last stubborn 30 yrs of getting nothing done without he Democrats. --which is the exact opposite of Clinton..
so honest of you to throw that lie in there that " no one will work with her" even though her record shows the exact opposite .
I love it when people post "end of discussion", "discussion over" or "period" on a forum as if they are the parents o' the internet .
