Sanders: Clinton should have spoken up about Russian bots during election

[Wwcd]

191. Really? Ok lets compare platforms then, because you are completely wrong in your statement.

Because there are millions of Democrats and Independents who agreed more with the platform he ran on than the one Hillary ran on,

WTF? This statement is unfair & untrue & THIS is
Why we still have infighting here on DU.
Until statements like yours are corrected, it will continue.

For instance:
3 million more preferred her platform in the primaries.
65 million preferred her platform in the GE.

Her platform was out there long before he even had one.

She also laid out the answer as to how to implement her policies & how to FUND them fairly.

BS did not offer a comprehensive platform in the beginning.

He never did present a way to fund his free stuff when continually confronted wiith the question.
He still doesn't offer a solid answer.

Your statement about his & her platforms are quite unfair & completely incorrect.

Lets compare platforms to prove my point about your statement.
Here's hers from day one .
Then show us his.
Fair Enough?

Looking through Clinton’s speeches and policy proposals, a clear plan emerges. From Clinton’s kickoff rally in June 2015 to the announcement of the proposed cap on child care costs and expanded early childhood education earlier this month, a list of Clinton’s platform speech topics and announcement dates are below:

THE FOUR FIGHTS

Economy: Clinton outlined a number of changes that would serve to strengthen the economy including strengthening the middle class, increasing the minimum wage, providing equal pay for women, making it illegal to discriminate against LBGT workers, rewriting the tax code, and focusing on lifelong learning that will allow works to adapt to a changing workplace.

She also called for more affordable college for everyone and improving the infrastructure by creating an infrastructure bank that would sell bonds to help fund improvements roads, bridges, power grids, and broadband Internet.

She called for protecting the environment by investing in clean energy and ending the denial of climate change. All these changes, which she will continue to outline in the coming weeks, will create jobs and improve the lives of American workers.

Family: Families have struggled since the recession and Clinton believes that more attention needs to be paid to helping families by guaranteeing paid sick days, paid family leave, pre-school and child care. She also wants to focus on the uneven incarceration polices and provide help to those suffering with mental health issues and addiction.

America’s Leadership: America has long been the leader in the world, but for America to maintain its leadership and influence, Clinton argues that we have not only show strength in our military, but we have to create economic and diplomatic partnerships across the globe.
At the same time, we have to stand up to our adversaries and stand by our allies. We need to be better prepared against cyber attacks and provide better services to our veterans after they have served our country.

Governmental Reform: Clinton argued that now is the time to take government out of corporate hands and back into the hands of Americans.

She called for stopping the flow of unaccountable campaign funds, undoing Citizens United, and improving government technology so it is more open to the pubic.

She also called for improvements to voting including universal registration, longer early voting periods, and ensuring that voting rights are protected despite the Supreme Court’s recent decision.

Read the rest here & tell me again how Sander's platform exceeded hers in popularity.

Just FYI.
