In reply to the discussion: This deserves to be seen, not hidden [View all]Koinos
(2,792 posts)58. The problem is that the facts are not on Bernie's side.
The video takes advantage of those facts. The skeletons are out there. I did the research myself, and Bernie is quite vulnerable on many counts.
Perhaps you should take the points, one by one, and show which are not true, rather than simply rejecting the source. The bread line quote was Bernie's. The positive statements about Castro's regime were Bernie's.
The more I read about Bernie's past, the more I question his candidacy. Republican operatives would not shy away from the truth about Bernie's past.
Watch his video about Eugene Debs, and ask yourself how that would be received by the majority of American voters. Bernie is not an FDR Democrat, by a long shot.

But the Democratic party has no obligation to let non-Democrats run as Democrats.

#1. It's in the Democratic Party's interest to not have a Leftwing candidate run as a 3rd party.
