Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumThis Makes Me Sick
I saw this posted in the Hillary thread and quite frankly it made me sick. The Hillary campaign does not care that when they "bait" Trump that it also baits Trump's supporters into lashing out at women. They are gleefully planning to use women as bait to elect her. Could there be a more disgusting campaign? I'm ashamed to be a Democrat.

(1,890 posts)against Sanders I would have to agree with you. In addition to not supporting her on a great many issues, I also deplore her campaign's tactics. It's like they don't care who gets hurt as long as they win.

(39,451 posts)Were they not paying attention to anything during the primaries? Trump plays dirty. Even dirtier than Brock.

(5,400 posts)He's not bound by logic, he'll turn it around to being Secretary Clinton's fault, and then bring up Bill being creepy. "He always gave off a predatory vibe, women were warned about being alone with him" imo will be just one such off the cuff remark by Trump. And he'll continue like that. He'll bring up Brock and what he did to Ania Hill all the time.

If she does win the nomination, I'm turning off the t.v. and ignoring all of this crap until after the election. Seriously. I will keep tuned into candidates like Bernie and of course the Senator himself.

Remember Sister Souljah? Bill attacking Jesse Jackson. Hillary stoking the birther and Muslim Secret Agent smears?
It works, and it's easier than, you know, actually having a policy agenda.

(1,192 posts)insults my intelligence. Starting with her first ad, "Dorothy." It was such a shameless pandering, and so transparently disingenuous -Nobody thinks she's running for president because of her mother.
But really. What do you expect from a camp that relies on voters like this?

(15 posts)But then I watched the 1st democratic debate and Bernie blew my mind. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. An honest and sincere gentleman that held the same beliefs that I did and did not play the same old political rhetoric game. I did more research on Bernie and I just fell in love with him more and more with every C-SPAN youtube video and learning more about his platform.

(1,890 posts)Glad you did your research. You are right, his honesty and integrity comes shining through. We really lucked out getting such a candidate to carry our message. I'm proud of him and of all of the people who worked so hard on the campaign. Their work was not in vain. The urgency of the issues we support will cause most of us to continue the fight well past the election. It's too damn important not to do so.
