2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumAnd Clinton is called the Triangulator. lol.

Iraq Liberation Act - So what if he built public support for war with Iraq, he eventually voted against it. Don't look at the fact he helped pave the way to huge public support. No, look the other way.

Paul and his Tea Party promised "Audit the Fed" dream. Ohhh. Sanders vote there was great. Ignore Krugman, Warren, Obama, and the rest of the Democratic Party and progressive voices. Sanders has literally joined forces with the Tea Party here. Triangulate all you want.
Voting against a pathway to citizenship over and over again. What? He was really just against the visa aspect? So, as he helped conservatives block a pathway to citizenship, what did he get in return? He got some kind of promise from them for blocking human rights to over ten million people. Right?

(30,481 posts)I will say I don't think I have ever called them any names at all. Not once.
I have more ops highlighting things like these items on the way. I just recently found out that some of the things Sanders supporters have been calling "youthful indiscretions" were actually things he either wrote or did in his late twenties into his thirties. Youthful. lol.
Ex:
When did Sanders first start voting?
What were/are his thoughts on women, sexuality, cancer?
Why was he fighting for Tea Party legislation just this past week?
What about Sanders early relationships? Seems he opened the door with this one by going after Bill.

REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
This is the kind of juvenile name-calling that is wrecking DU. It's time for juries to bring at least a minimal level of civility and smarts back to this place.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Jan 18, 2016, 02:25 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: no better or worse than hundreds of comments in hundreds of threads. For the first time in my 12 years on DU, ignore is my friend.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: It is disruptive to call anyone Hillbots, Bernbots, etc. Points should be made in reference to facts and not by attacking people.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alerter seems to be stalking Hillary supporters. Frivolous alert.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Sorry, this Bernie supporter isn't going to give the poster the satisfaction of saying that juries are all skewed. I have no problem discussing these votes--going to need to happen when he is the nominee in the general election. I could do without "bernbots," though.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

(48,961 posts)bill that Bill Clinton, Hillary's husband wanted so badly. Like many of us Bernie Sanders made a mistake in trusting a democratic president. Thanks for posting that article.
