The OP took votes out of context. Period.
The votes were with the majority of Dems at a time when the Congress was in GOP control. Period.
When called out on that smear tactic, they doubled down even when facts contradict their assertions. Period.
This was not about compromising or difficult votes. This OP was about lies and distortions in order to make a Democratic candidate appear different than he actually is.
Peronsally, I don't care that Clinton ALSO voted for DoD 2003 fiscal year funding. I do care that she voted for the Iraq war and Sanders did not. That would be a more reasonable discussion to be had.
By supporting this POS OP, why would I want to discuss anything reasonable with you like that? You are defending the indefensible and rationalizing it about the GOP in the general. I am quite certain that Sanders and his supporters can handle the GOP quite well in the general. After all, we are handling the neo-liberals right now in the primary, kicking ass, and taking names.
