19. The OP presents no actual reasons for his emotional repsonses to Bernie, 'I don't like or trust him'

Wed Feb 24, 2016, 10:08 AM

Feb 2016

so I thought I'd list a few specific policy positions that cause me to prefer to vote for Bernie. The fact that the cohort that supported DOMA and still support that branch of the Party don't like something or someone is meaningless to me because they also did not like equality nor did they trust LGBT people. They, Hillary and her lot felt they had to 'Defend the Sacrament' against us, that's not trust, that's not affection that is opposition and a desire to defeat us.

The OP offers emotionalism and characterizations. We offer policy positions and objections to those positions. Says it all.

I don't trust her because of IWR and her years of hateful opposition to civil rights for LGBT. Bluenorthwest Feb 2016 #11

I feel the same. Though for me this insidious purchase of govts by Big$ with Clinton Foundation's RiverLover Feb 2016 #16

THIS is a red flag too big to ignore Armstead Feb 2016 #3

What would Sanders do about that? (nt) Recursion Feb 2016 #4

He already said...And we've been asleep at the Anti-Trust wheel for a long time Armstead Feb 2016 #5

Tell me what he said. Recursion Feb 2016 #6

First of all officially identify and list them.... Armstead Feb 2016 #15

They are already identified and listed, by law Recursion Feb 2016 #17

You are missing my point Armstead Feb 2016 #21

Can you name the banks already broken up under Dodd-Frank? Recursion Feb 2016 #23

I can. jeff47 Feb 2016 #27

Nope. The list is four names long Recursion Feb 2016 #29

Funny that you can't manage to list those four names. jeff47 Feb 2016 #31

I'm mostly too amused by this to bother Recursion Feb 2016 #32

No, I actually know the relevant companies were already talking about spinning off or jeff47 Feb 2016 #33

I don't care if you take my concern seriously. Armstead Feb 2016 #30

Powerful image. Thanks for posting. I wish Bernie would show charts like Ross Perot did! JudyM Feb 2016 #26

What a stupid misleading post. Bernie wants the list to break up the banks. Under Dodd-Frank Skwmom Feb 2016 #7

Multiple banks have already been broken up under Dodd Frank Recursion Feb 2016 #8

Their are banks that are A LOT bigger since the too big to fail bailout. That is like having a dam Skwmom Feb 2016 #12

Wow ... This will not go over well ... 1StrongBlackMan Feb 2016 #9

(see my PM, if you don't mind) (nt) Recursion Feb 2016 #14

You have finally convinced me. Armstead Feb 2016 #24

Did you read the article? No where did it talk about not doing anything better ... 1StrongBlackMan Feb 2016 #28

Yes I read the article Armstead Feb 2016 #34

The author of that article at HuffPo must be a concerned banker. Major Hogwash Feb 2016 #10

The argument is stupid as hell. Although that is further support for "he must be a banker." Skwmom Feb 2016 #13

So, address his points Recursion Feb 2016 #20

The Huff Post article is well done Gothmog Feb 2016 #18

Yes a very eloquent way of saying "Surrender. We can do nothing. Ever." Armstead Feb 2016 #22

Sure, because those are the options: "surrender" and "demagoguery". Recursion Feb 2016 #25

I reject Corporatist Demagoguery Armstead Feb 2016 #36

Perhaps, but I like living in the real world Gothmog Feb 2016 #39

Well that might explain some of the difference.... Armstead Feb 2016 #40
