Sanders Backs Out of Interview After Failing to Dictate Conditions

71. No, what makes you establishment is to be an old white male in congress for decades.

He is literally the very definition of establishment and his entitled behavior with respect to his hometown news outlets makes that very clear, it's actually what his devotees are using to defend his actions, the very ones that the rest of us condemn when his Republican allies do it.

He didn't infiltrate anything, its who he is, believe him when he tells you this and shows you this. He's literally playing the same game that his cronies are, just in the same manner that they do, like Donnie does.

Um, it's BS to pretend that he's not there by virtue of "the machine" it's literally how he got there, what governs his votes and how he stayed there all this time despite not delivering very much progress or much else at all. He's there because the party didn't bother to run someone against him, after the NRA helped him get elected there.

Words have meanings, those are not personalized, no matter how those who are really bad at vocabulary keep insisting. Bernie is not an outsider, he is an elected official who has been an established politician for decades, there was no "infiltration' there was just another white man elected decades ago who ignores his constituents, and whose hangers on seem to profit by association with him.

Attempting to pretend that local issues are not actual issues, is evidence to the contrary, see, he has questions to answer, it's not about the outcome, it's about what the heck actually happened, and there seems to be quite a lot to delve into that does indeed involve Bernie and his office. That silence is due to the politician refusing to take an interview over 3 years. Sorry, but making assumptions about why a sleazy politician refuses to answer questions about his conduct on a local issue is not a "gossipy hit piece", it's just the state of things and the proof that integrity isn't really what's being demonstrated here. It's wrong when Republicans pull crap like this, it's also wrong when establishment politicians like Bernie Sanders do it.

Apply the same standards, no carve outs for bird blessed old dudes who need words and quotes to be massaged to make him be somehow less of a hypocrite.
