Bernie Sanders Praising Fidel Castro

[TomCADem]

I am sure this will put Florida in play:

[Cha]

1. omg

[RandySF]

2. Not just Castro, but much of Central America

[YOHABLO]

3. Are you kidding me? You haven't even listen to the clip yourself.

Quit trying to demean Sanders with these false accusations. And no it won't have an impact on the Florida vote. Normalized relations with Cuba, like Obama was trying to do, would do more to impress Florida voters.

[TomCADem]

5. You Are Right. Bernie Should Lead With That Clip...

...in Florida.

[SunSeeker]

17. LOL

[showblue22]

22. It's not the only clip.

There are many.

10. +100

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!

Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

11. It's amazing how people can fool themselves. That's election poison. And if you...

think the repugs don't have it and much more disastrous oppo, you're fooling yourself even more.

The're licking their lips and can't wait to run against Sanders.

[brush]

15. Not that hard to figure. Waiting in case Sanders gets the nomination.

You really can't figure that out?

[MrsCoffee]

39. Or they won't stoop that low.

Just because Sanders has no problem handing out sound bytes for the opposition attacking the Democratic Party and it’s candidates, doesn’t mean the rest will stoop to his level.

[ehrnst]

44. Goodness, now you sound like a Hillary supporter.

Welcome to the club!

[tecelote]

21. He's survived it before, he can do it again.

This isn't his first round.

[MrsCoffee]

41. He has never been vetted.

Ler it begin before it’s too late.

[uponit7771]

23. 2 weeks out from 11/4 it WILL drop !! That's when everyone else will be paying attention ...

... and not politicos who go to rallies.

I don't see this playing well in Florida

[uponit7771]

29. Again, the oppo on Sanders is already out but not among non politicos who will be voting in Nov

[uponit7771]

37. ... or people in Florida don't know he praised communisim

[NurseJackie]

32. There's no alert button to make the GOP stop putting out anti-Bernie info.

That type of info couldn't be silenced during a General Election cycle. The GOP doesn't have to play by DU rules.

[NurseJackie]

36. Exactly. Yes. Thank you.

I appreciate the honestly.

[DanTex]

38. LOL. Exactly!

[NurseJackie]

49. LOL!

[ehrnst]

53. .....

[YOHABLO]

6. There is nothing in this clip that I hear impugns Sanders

Please explain what your twisted thought process is.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

9. Crickets!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

[jcmaine72]

14. Not so fast...

Mike Bloomberg just paid those crickets $30 million dollars each to stop chirping.

[ehrnst]

45. Maybe a song will make it clear..

&feature=emb_title

[uponit7771]

24. Florida, that's not a twisted thought process

[cannabis_flower]

7. Well...

A. Sounds possibly taken out of context.
B. Everything he said was true.

He did say that Castro wasn't perfect and he was a dictator but he did get healthcare for the people of Cuba and everyone in Cuba is literate.

99.75%
According to UNESCO Cuba it has an adult literacy rate of 99.75%. Only in a few countries female literacy rates are above male literacy rates, in Cuba, 99.8% of all women aged 15 years and older are literate, compared to 99.71% of men. Compared to the rest of countries the literacy rate in Cuba is very high.

8. OMG!!! Just like Jimmy Carter!!

"We remember fondly our visits with him in Cuba and his love of his country."

https://www.cartercenter.org/news/pr/carter-statement-112816.html

What next, are we going start running old clips of Bill O'Reilly accusing Bernie of promoting "San Francisco values" in order to besmirch him?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

12. Wouldn't surprise me!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

[jcmaine72]

18. Seriously, you should delete this OP. It's absurd.

Bernie:

"Just because Ronald Reagan dislikes these people,
doesn't mean the people in their own nations feel the same way."

I defy you to find a single person on DU who would disagree with that statement, unless, of course, we love Ronnie Raygun now too.

Direct quote from Bernie:
"Castro and Cuba are not perfect"

Yeah, that really sounds like unfettered adulation and praise from Bernie.

[yaesu]

19. Cuba is one of the most progressive countries on Earth, crippled for decades by the capitalist

and now fascist government of the USA. Its a shame we have had such a negative impact on those people people.

[brooklynite]

25. ...and a paragon of free elections.

Question: how many young Cubans (the ones who are no longer scared of Socialism) have chosen to return to progressive Cuba?

[Kurt V.]

27. yes. bc we all know how free elections fixes everything. oh wait...

[brooklynite]

34. Better than the alternative...

[safeinOhio]

20. BidenBros vs BernieBros....

If you kids don't stop right now, I'm turning this election around and giving it all to that asshole.

[MrsCoffee]

42. Except one of those don't exist.

[IluvPitties]

26. Fuck Castro. Thanks.

[brutus smith]

33. The same Biden supporters who bring up these things will be working for Bloomberg next.

[DanTex]

40. Umm, he's talking about how dumb the Bay of Pigs was. And he's right.

Did you watch the clip?

[Zolorp]

47. The only reason this isn't getting big play now is none of the Democrats want to...

alienate his supporters.

Hopefully the next one to drop out will drop all the Communist stuff all at once just before they drop out. They'd be taking one for the team.

[Zeus69]

48. This forum is such a microcosm

Those bought in completely to the wonderment of a Sanders presidency just don't realize that the US is not going to elect a (democratic) socialist. Not in 2020. It will not happen.

Sanders will not soundly defeat Trump in the EC map. I wish people would see that this is all about strategy, and the Dems are playing right into the Republican's hands.

I don't even dislike Sanders, the person. But I know this is falling on deaf ears... This is so frustrating.

[Happy Hoosier]

50. Sanders is a disaster for us.

If he is nominated, we will lose. I hope I am wrong, but think I'm not.

[Scotch-Irish]

51. Interesting that this video appears EVERY SINGLE DAY on DU.

You guys have made this point.

[lark]

52. Terrible look for Bernie and it will absolutely play big in South FL with the Cuban immigrants.

FL is much more a Biden or Bloomberg kind of state, don't think Bernie would win here and with things like this it seems more and more unlikely.
