2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Is there a single honest Bernie supporter on DU .... [View all]
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by azurnoir (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).
.... who can watch the first 7 seconds of this video ....
.... and then read the following statement ....
The office of the pope moved quickly to distance the pontiff from Sanderss visit. Father Federico Lombardi, the Popes spokesman, said Sanders had been invited not by the pope but by the pontifical academy of social sciences. Lombardi told the Italian news agency Ansa: For the moment there is no expectation that there will also be a meeting with the pope.
.... and square the two.
I haven't found a single Bernie supporter who can honestly assess this contradiction.
I actually had one tell me that personally meeting with the pope and having a meeting anywhere in Vatican City were interchangeable concepts.
I shit you not.

You concocted a shitty game. How do you know the Pope's brain and activities.

And the Vatican has some interest in not looking *too* political or biased

Honest answer: I think he either misheard, or perhaps thought he might be meeting with the pope

Unless he eventually ends up meeting the Pope of course. Now that would be cool!

I think the point is, he isn't (supposed to) meet the Pope. He is going to a conference

The two don't square. Obviously Sanders was incorrect, and he clarified things soon afterwards.

It is phony. Sometimes, though, I wonder whether it is more a case of self-delusion
