Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumTell me you have friends that you don't agree with on everything, please!
The reason I ask is because they are going ape that Bernie said he gets along with Inhofe (spelling?) even tho they don't agree with each other on almost anything.
Now *they* are calling them best friends.
One of my favorite people is a die hard republican. I adore her. We have so much fun together being silly, laughing, movies, lunch, dinner. We don't talk about politics, climate change, the election, anything "controversial". Altho she did turn to me when she wanted to sign up with Obamacare
She knows I am a die hard liberal. Doesn't mean that she won't hold my hand when my personal life is in shambles, and vice versa.
Why is it so hard for them to understand??? These men work together. I'm glad that Bernie can find common ground with people that do not see eye to eye with him.
They are now tying Bernie to Inhofe on anything they can. It's so childish.
I guess the idea of being friends with people at work is elusive to some.
Sorry - I needed to vent.

(10,622 posts)and the Clinton campaign are using as a large tool in their dirty tricks box.
His "internet specialists" (legal supposedly, but based on a very loose interpretation on a loop hole)
can be paid by a super-PAC to coordinate directly with her campaign if it is only involved via the internet,
Some of these employees are paid to post an all forms of social media, and often do, especially when it regards the Big Lie tactics when they are used, which rely on repetition of the lie in order to make people believe the lie even when faced with solid facts to the contrary.
Expect this lie to be continuously spread, along with other lies pushed as truth via the Big Lie tactic that they have been employing liberally. (perhaps the only true sentence involving the word liberally in connection with Clinton, a right wing candidate within the Democratic party.)
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

(14,570 posts)politics. We do work together well.
Sure, Imhoff is an asshole. Absolutely. But that doesn't mean someone can't get along with him.
Here's a thought: People are cutting down Bernie for liking and getting along with Imhoff. Oh, instead of getting along with him, these Clinton supporters are implying that Bernie should treat him like a pariah, maybe even cross to the other side of the street when he's coming...
BUT, this is exactly what the GOP has done to Obama in their ignoble effort to delegitimize not only Obama's presidency but Obama himself. So...we hate it when people do it to us, but when one of us refrains from doing it to 'them' then we take exception???
Just wondering because that seems a little hypocritical to me.

(6,133 posts)I like them, and feel they are something like brainwashed.
There's a documentary out there now I've been waiting to see...something like "The Brainwashing of My Dad"...
These people are just like me, but I don't really know why they vote against their own interest.

(8,846 posts)I ran for a Florida congressional seat in 2004. I went up to DC with my campaign manager for a week, meeting with people from the DNC, DCCC, several Senators, and many Congresspeople.
On the ground floor of the (then) new DNC building is a nice restaurant and bar called the Democratic National Club. White table cloths, vested bar tender (Joseph), etc. A very classy place. I spent a lot of evenings in there drinking and meeting people.
Almost half the patrons were Republican Congressmen. They were drinking and eating with their Democratic counterparts. And acting civilized. That's probably where a lot of legislation was worked out.
But, alas, I never saw Bernie Sanders in there, so I don't know if he was really a congressman or not.

(8,282 posts)a BFF in AZ that I've known for over 20 yrs and is wasn't until I got involved in politics a decade ago that I realized she was a hard core republican. We just didn't discuss politics until then. We still don't. It's hard sometimes because she can be a total racist. I have another school friend that I've known longer and she's a born again Christian and we don't discuss politics either especially after she said she liked Rush limbaugh. ugh. Of course, I haven't spoken to my brother or sister in over 3 yrs either because of the same stuff. Another couple of tea baggers.
