In reply to the discussion: Thank you, Bernie!! -- Bernie Sanders Shares His Blueprint for Resisting Trump [View all]FDRsGhost
(470 posts)104. That's fine considering I work in marketing :)
If you're going to market something then it would be best to actually talk about the product which you are marketing, right? He hasn't. Nothing out there shows him screaming time after time "buy my book" and if you truly believe that is his aim, Bernie is the worst advertiser of his own goods ever.
Sure, cause Senators are addressed as Senator, that's their title. I can link you to how titles work, but I'll leave that up to you too. Seems like you have a lot of homework to do, and your reading skills seem a little rusty, as you demonstrated when you completely made up words and a meaning in the bit you quoted from my post.
Okay, what is with the passive aggressiveness here in your post and the outright condescending attitude coming from you? Let's act like adults, shall we? I've not come across with anything in the way of an ad hominem attack on you with personal insults have I? Not at all so let's have a discussion instead of baiting people into emotional and irrational discussion. What did I make up as far as words go and meanings?
I'm not actually wrong, but at least you admit that I am indeed being attacked. I actually didn't say any such thing at all, in fact I said the exact opposite so your defense of the rather nasty attacks against me, sorta fails, but thank ever so much for confirming that people are indeed on the attack. I think you guesses are as bad as your reading comprehension, which you've once again proved isn't great, since you assert things that are specifically the opposite of what I actually wrote.
Um, I haven't attacked in any sort of way. I asked you to show us proof that Bernie is selling his book which you haven't provided. My reading comprehension is just fine, thanks but let's stay on topic and focus here shall we?
Do you think all and and any criticism isn't warranted against the party when we just lost to the most unqualified person ever to run for POTUS? That we have lost over 1,000 seats and that we now only have 26% of the electorate and millions have left the party? Do you not think that's worthy for discussion?
I see Bernie doing nothing wrong. I also don't see anything wrong with what Schumer said about the Obama administration in this tweet here but because it's somehow Bernie he gets trashed? Nawww, not getting it sorry.

You know, you don't seem all that new, and you do seem to know your way around the rules, you attack and insult with a practiced disingenuous. I think the problem is that you wish to see attacks against Bernie so you just create them, while ignoring actual words on your screen. As I said, you were reading incorrectly, surmising badly, assuming atrociously and excusing attacks, based on that bias you conceal so poorly.
I don't have time for this, I simply don't. I wanted an honest discussion but you're simply wanting to argue and throw stones. I don't seem that new here? I am new to posting but said I've read the site for over 10 years. When you're ready to talk let me know and I'll gladly discuss things with you.
Who's re-fighting the primaries? Have I even spoken about them at all? Abuse? What? Yeah, sorry but you've lost me and seem to be twisting things to fit your narrative. I'm out bro, have a nice day.
