94. Just because a letter is "sternly written" does not make it the equivalent of being "true and accurate".

So many things are wrong with that letter, but I'm grateful for the fact-checkers here who set the record straight and who put things into perspective. It's unclear to me why anyone would think that it's helpful, this close to the election, to start tarring Biden and Harris as being "war criminals". Honestly, that makes no sense to me. We need to elect Democrats and defeat Republicans. Anyone who thinks that cheap-shots and this kneecapping bullshit is necessary or helpful needs to check themselves.

Right before an election. I guess Sanders is implicitly telling those uncommitted votes not to vote for VP Harris. JohnSJ Sep 2024 #28
