Why Was Heath Mello Thrown Under the Bus? - The Nation

19. But I thought we shouldn't just vote for people because they have a D next to their name?

Given that the right winger running with the D doesn't respect my basic rights all, what's the difference between them?

Bernie took his dog and pony show to Omaha, because one of his purist devotees begged him to come, the whole point of Bernie's show was to get as much attention as possible, thus it making the claim that he would have snaked in the dead of night, leaving behind a single in a local paper is laughable at best.

He messed up and created this mess by deliberately following up his national interview where he insisted that we must not be rigid about basic human rights for women by endorsing a candidate that had a proven track record of attacking women, while also attacking Ossoff. He created this mess himself, the divisiveness is due to his own antics, and it seems to be something he delights in.

You keep attacking me for the actions YOU defend, the divisiveness YOU engage in and which was created by Bernie, whom you refuse to blame for HIS OWN actions.

Gaze into your own "frikkin mirror" to see where all that divisive desperation is coming from, all because it seems you cannot be honest about the colossal blunder your guy made here.

It's sad how much you're twisting yourself to excuse Bernie's mistake here, and how desperately you engage in ad hominems to defend the indefensible. The reason you keep failing so badly here is that literally everyone is seeing what Bernie did, what he said and why his attack on Ossof was as mind blowingly stupid as endorsing the rabid right winger.


Attacking me won't make you any less wrong, or Bernie any less a divisive factor whose true colors have been revealed by his own words and actions.
