In reply to the discussion: The NY Daily News Hit Piece on Bernie EXPOSED! [View all]BainsBane
(57,821 posts)The interview happened and is available for all voters who care about informing themselves to read. Clearly you aren't interested in what Bernie says about his own policy positions. That reflects on you, not me.
Of course Bernie prioritized gun makers and sellers over the kids in Newtown and all citizens.; That is what that immunity bill is.
Truth does not emanate from a political campaign. His spin on it conforms precisely with the NRA's interpretation, what every gun activist has said about that bill long before Bernie entered the presidential campaign. What the bill actually does and how it has been applied are very different.
Hell will freeze over before I let a politician tell me how to think. For whatever reason, you aren't able to look into the issue and decide to simply take a politician's word as absolute truth, which is patently absurd. You could say this or that issue problematic but still believe on balance Bernie is a better candidate because of x, y, z, but that would require a degree of critical thinking you have entirely absolved in favor of promoting his candidacy. That's on you.
There is a reason every gun control activist and group in the country supports Clinton over Bernie. They might disagree with Clinton on other issues, but if their cause is gun control, there is no contest.
You can call everyone a liar who dares to question your favored member of the political elite and patently refuse to verify any facts whatsoever. That is a choice you made based on what you value.
