In reply to the discussion: Why Is Bernie Sanders Invested On Wall Street? [View all]synergie
(1,901 posts)supporter to explain how he plans to achieve anything, but all that they seem to come up with is personal abuse, ranting against the confederacy and right wing smears about how evil she is.
I have no heard any critique of her actual policy positions, nor any comparisons to his. Those who have actually done the work, see her with workable plans and policies weighed against nothing of substance.
Why not admit that BS doesn't have any substance, that it's all just rhetoric and with no grasp on how reality works? Even his own finances and choices made are pragmatic and don't mesh well with the things he says. I mean, it's as if BS supporters truly are ignorant of how reality works in general or they truly believe that the Presidency has powers that it does not, and that little birds and magic waves of the hand will somehow address foreign policy realities, and domestic issues, and somehow create a single payer plan that hasn't been thought through, much less fleshed out. Is this the reason that instead of contrasting plans and policies, the BSers have been using right wing smears, character assassinations based on long debunked lies, and fresh new ones made up by the campaign?
Perhaps this lack off a compelling argument for Bernie, and this fondness of personal attacks from right wing sources which all apart with the least bit of research is WHY Bernie can't actually win voters, why he's losing in the pledged delegate race and the Superdelegates, who actually understand his weakness on policy and are familiar with his failure to actually effectively DO anything?
Accusing your opponents of your own flaws is easy, addressing your own deficiencies and the reams of evidence that show how this has been a problem for the BS camp really might make your scolding a bit more credible, what homework have you done, and why has it left so many supposed supporters of Bernie with nothing but right wing smears, and racist and misogynistic attacks? Why can't they argue FOR their candidate, rather than AGAINST his opponent? Do you truly have nothing here other than the name calling, the projection and the inappropriate attacks?
Take a good long look around that glass enclosure you're standing in before you throw stones.
Bernie is hoist on his own petard, here. Some homework on anyone's part would have made that apparent, but for some reason no one has bothered to do that. One wonders why.
