What Sanders COULD have said: [View all] OilemFirchen Jul 2015 OP

Why can't Clinton, or for that matter, Obama? whatchamacallit Jul 2015 #1

Because neither Clinton nor Obama are "transcendent" figures. OilemFirchen Jul 2015 #6

So, just to understand whatchamacallit Jul 2015 #8

Yes I do. OilemFirchen Jul 2015 #10

Then the money should come from the federal government, not the states. PotatoChip Jul 2015 #35

3) I'll resuscitate, tweak, and aggressively fund Enterprise Zones. DemocratSinceBirth Jul 2015 #2

"All our candidates need to be addressing these issues. " Scootaloo Jul 2015 #15

Funny how that works, isn't it? arcane1 Jul 2015 #17

Same coincidence that economic justice only became code for racism on DU, when Sanders declared Scootaloo Jul 2015 #18

Indeed. arcane1 Jul 2015 #22

Y'know, it's possible to make an argument without "Appeal to King" Scootaloo Jul 2015 #39

Agreed! arcane1 Jul 2015 #40

When will Clinton be held to this standard that only Bernie is held to? AgingAmerican Jul 2015 #3

Well, that would require holding Clinton to a standard, wouldn't it? Scootaloo Jul 2015 #5

Why are you asking me? (n/t) OilemFirchen Jul 2015 #11

That's one of the standard methods of dismissing BLMs concerns. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #33

Your response is one of the standard methods Aerows Jul 2015 #43

There is no question to answer. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #44

If you can't answer the obvious question Aerows Jul 2015 #47

What question. Why couldnt you do your own research? She responded to this just today. stevenleser Jul 2015 #49

She never said "White Lives matter." Aerows Jul 2015 #51

Now you are flailing. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #53

By pointing out Aerows Jul 2015 #54

Perhaps if he had had two days to stew for answers as you have? Scootaloo Jul 2015 #4

Dude, I've had these answers for decades. OilemFirchen Jul 2015 #9

Do you often confront screaming crowds who vow to not let you speak? Scootaloo Jul 2015 #13

Only at Thanksgiving. OilemFirchen Jul 2015 #16

It's not victimhood, oilem. Scootaloo Jul 2015 #21

I watched. He spoke. OilemFirchen Jul 2015 #23

"Absolutely, black lives matter" is an unacceptable statement for Black Lives Matter? Scootaloo Jul 2015 #24

It's a bromide. OilemFirchen Jul 2015 #25

Do you have a video with good sound quality? Scootaloo Jul 2015 #26

You betcha. OilemFirchen Jul 2015 #55

Oh, please. Coddlers for Bernie! He's been in politics for 40 years. R B Garr Jul 2015 #28

Where did i call him a victim? Scootaloo Jul 2015 #31

This message was self-deleted by its author R B Garr Jul 2015 #32

Well then know that it is not anything I had intent to imply. Scootaloo Jul 2015 #38

This message was self-deleted by its author R B Garr Jul 2015 #41

You have to keep rephrasing stuff I didn't say Scootaloo Jul 2015 #42

lol, you keep shifting. I should have known being polite was a waste of time, R B Garr Jul 2015 #72

You finished yet? Need a little more lotion, maybe? Scootaloo Jul 2015 #73

Bernie wasn't a victim of circumstances. He's a grown ass man and R B Garr Jul 2015 #75

Keep going, man. Get it all out. Scootaloo Jul 2015 #77

Aww, you're the one pushing for some Bernie coddling. R B Garr Jul 2015 #79

Except that they didn't "shut him up". OilemFirchen Jul 2015 #56

Exactly, he was an arrogant jerk, basically. R B Garr Jul 2015 #74

Ya think so? In addition, the forum didn't present an opportunity for him or the others there still_one Jul 2015 #76

I suggest you do some real research not DU research before you criticize someone. nt Snotcicles Jul 2015 #7

What are you implying, exactly? (n/t) OilemFirchen Jul 2015 #12

I grabb this quickly off the interweb just to point out Snotcicles Jul 2015 #14

Fine. I know the man's history. OilemFirchen Jul 2015 #19

He has. Maybe he should repeat them. nt Snotcicles Jul 2015 #27

Yes, he needs specific plans to deal with this issue. DCBob Jul 2015 #20

Yes, I still can't wrap my head around how badly he flubbed what was an opportunity handed to him stevenleser Jul 2015 #29

Yes, he flubbed the ambush whatchamacallit Jul 2015 #36

+A million. And this is why the conspiracy theories about Hillary R B Garr Jul 2015 #37

Why isn't Obama being asked to do that today, right now. Not in two years? onecaliberal Jul 2015 #30

Is any of that an excuse to why Bernie couldn't respond then and there to their concerns? nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #34

Is any of that an excuse to not answer the question? Aerows Jul 2015 #46

Several people have answered. Obama was protested by BLM and he responded. Months ago. stevenleser Jul 2015 #48

Actions. Aerows Jul 2015 #50

Now you are moving the goalposts. But fine. How about appointing African Americans to head DOJ AND stevenleser Jul 2015 #52

I'll defer to African Americans Aerows Jul 2015 #61

He's also following through on housing and demilitarizing police depts... bettyellen Jul 2015 #60

I just brought up the criminal justice department. Aerows Jul 2015 #62

Sending in the DOJ to investigate the entire department- leading to restructuring shows no bettyellen Jul 2015 #64

I believe Aerows Jul 2015 #65

I'm not sure what you think should have happened first? bettyellen Jul 2015 #67

Here we are again. Aerows Jul 2015 #69

He can't do everything- change is incremental and fixing something mid-prosecution is off the table bettyellen Jul 2015 #89

"Dismissing Obama and making "excuses" for Sanders" Aerows Jul 2015 #90

I'm unclear as to what more the DOJ can do in most cases- bettyellen Jul 2015 #91

He doesn't say those things LWolf Jul 2015 #45

Not very revolutionary, huh? OilemFirchen Jul 2015 #57

He knows how to get things done. LWolf Jul 2015 #92

If he said those things, he would be lying. Presidents don't have that much power. Vattel Jul 2015 #58

They don't have the power to offer free state college tuition either. OilemFirchen Jul 2015 #59

Yes, it has stopped him from promising to do that. Vattel Jul 2015 #66

Since when? OilemFirchen Jul 2015 #80

He has prioritized other things he cannot accomplish - but you'd never call that lying would you? bettyellen Jul 2015 #63

He says that it is going to takea political revolution to wrest the country from the 1%. Vattel Jul 2015 #81

So, that's it? It's a narrowly focused campaign alright. bettyellen Jul 2015 #87

I guess I am not following you. Vattel Jul 2015 #88

Look, a lot of what you think Sanders should embrace here I agree with. Vattel Jul 2015 #68

It is my belief that Sanders PowerToThePeople Jul 2015 #70

LOL Even the stuff ABOUT Sanders becomes an immediate pivot to somehow being about Clinton Number23 Jul 2015 #71

Aw, shucks. OilemFirchen Jul 2015 #83

It's not a man, it's a famous French portrait of a black woman Number23 Jul 2015 #84

D'oh! OilemFirchen Jul 2015 #86

I'd like to thank you for this thread Capt. Obvious Jul 2015 #78

I always go the extra mile. OilemFirchen Jul 2015 #85
