(14,174 posts)Don't be so intentionally obtuse. You know very well what you are doing and why. Of course you are bashing Sanders, who is one of our most important allies, and considered "by all intents and purposes" a Democrat by Skinner on these boards. Finding one weakness you can exploit in his record to publicize and splash loudly for all to hear and presumably get all riled up with you, about that damned pesky old man that annoyed you in the primary two years ago.
Anyone here could pick out a Democrat's record and find probably even more than one instance that went against what the base wanted. coughIraqwarvotecough.
Why stop at Bernie? Lets find others on our side we can poke holes and dig up any and all past moments where they did not live up to expectations, and highlight those times so we can all have a good laugh and finger wag? We still have a few months before the mid terms, we should be able to dissect a few more Democrats records in that time.
The point some on here are trying to make is why now? Why do Republican and Putin's work for them?
What is so difficult about simply not going out of your way to besmirch a "by all intents and purposes" a Democrat on these boards? Even if you don't consider him one, the GOP regards him as the enemy. And they know, even if some here don't, how dangerous he is to them, and how big an influence he has on millions of Americans. Why can't you at the very least go by the motto, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" or at the very very least "is reluctantly my ally"?
