(135,425 posts)92. OK--you just made my point. That's not a "diff" it's a similarity.
The diff is that Clinton gave the money to Sanders because he already dances to the same tune as Clinton
"Same" is not a synonym for "different." You're now averring that Sanders does what Clinton tells him to do--he dances to her tune.
OK.....
Apparently election law isn't YOUR strong suit, either. Clinton was not a carpetbagger--she was a property tax paying HOMEOWNER. As was the New York-Brooklyn born and raised Senator Sanders when he first entered public life in Vermont.
She met all requirements for running for office, in fact, she had more "roots" in New York than Bobby Kennedy did when he ran.
New York, unlike "A Simple Game," welcomes new citizens to their state. Who knew someone posting on an ostensibly progressive board would be so opposed to someone who, as a consequence of following her husband around in his government jobs, lived in a number of states before she was able to settle down? Mmmm, mmm, mmmmm!
Are you one of those people who shakes a fist at "furriners," too? Don't like those "outsiders?" Jennifer Granholm? How dare you have served as a governor! Get your ass back to Canada! And how about that carpetbagger Tom Lantos, coming over here from Hungary, all high and mighty, and serving so many honorable years in Congress--the NOIVE of that guy!!!
Wow, these provincial viewpoints of yours are certainly telling!
You're not gobbling my lunch, I am sorry to tell you. Your sense of taste, along with your sense of decorum and the democratic principles of inclusion for all citizens, have failed you--that's not my lunch--it's your own foot you've been chewing on!
