I'm saying that if it was another politician that was running against Sanders, that is the kind of thing would be called corrupt by Sanders and many of his supporters.
Not me. I'm not the one being angry and lashing out with namecalling here.
Is that clearer?
I'm not the one who brought the term "bad optics" to the discussion. You did. You were the one who stated that Sanders was being called corrupt..not me. That's pretty significant. It sounds more like you are the one who is seeing that in Sanders, and jump to defend anything he does no matter how it would be seen in any other politician.
To be fair, maybe when he gets rolling on his talking points, he just forgets things that he himself does. I recall at a book signing for Jeff Weaver's book, he started railing against campaign consultants until he was reminded some of his own were present.
Are you still "done now?" If not, I suggest using the ignore feature a lot on DU. And if Sanders does get the Democratic nomination for POTUS in 2020, you'll need to turn off your television and get offline, because pointing out that he is selling merchandise on Amazon while decrying it as a bad employer nothing compared to what the GOP will have ready to say about him
