point out the lies
tell the truth

personally, I'd prefer a more aggressive, confrontational tone, but that's just me
occasional live press conferences can help

Now that is what I'm talking about.

This video was fairly short and to the point to get us the info this country desperately needs. Not 1 lie.

Bernie has consistently made presentations that are totally accurate with supporting research and data. He is also very consistent in his ability to get the point across. I found this video of high importance to the American public. I will pass this on to all my contacts, with the hope that it will go viral. Honestly, it needs to.

He is the only one I can truly say is telling me the truth. I see no one else on the left presenting anything even close to what this man has told us. This is what a progressive democrat looks like. And I like it.

Not to mention his positive thoughts on other subjects that are so important to Americans, such as Healthcare for all, removal of Citizens United, Education for all, Labor views, Prescription Drugs, Veterans, Transportation, Retirement Security... The list goes on and on.

Where oh where would we be if we were never blessed with his wisdom and guidance all these years. One thing is sure, he will never and I mean never be forgotten for all he has done.

He is the only one I can truly say is telling me the truth. I see no one else on the left presenting anything even close to what this man has told us.

Sitting Vice President Joe Biden called Putin a dictator in 2016, despite the fact that it was not the Obama administration's official stance.

Now that took genuine courage.

Joe Biden ups ante by calling Vladimir Putin a ‘dictator’

Thu July 28, 2016
Washington CNN —

Vice President Joe Biden ratcheted up US rhetoric on Moscow Wednesday night, for the first time calling Russian President Vladimir Putin a ‘dictator.’

The undiplomatic description comes as American authorities finger his government for a hacking incident allegedly seeking to influence the US presidential elections in yet another intensification of tensions between the historic adversaries.

In his speech Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention, Biden used language reminiscent of the Cold War to describe Putin in arguing that GOP nominee Donald Trump is unsuited to be president.

“We cannot elect a man who belittles our closest allies while embracing dictators like Vladimir Putin,” said Biden, “a man who confuses bluster with strength. We simply cannot let that happen as Americans. Period.”
