In reply to the discussion: Liberals Roar As Bernie Sanders Joins Elizabeth Warren On Bill To Reinstate Glass Steagall [View all]merrily
(45,251 posts)Yes I did answer. Sorry you don't seem to get it. We don't have an explanation for most votes, including Hillary's vote to authorize a war every Democrat I know knew was based on a lie. Now that was a significant vote.
The fact that I cannot explain Sanders vote is a duh. In the world of reality, it indicates absolutely nothing, other than that Sanders has not been explaining his every vote to me for the past nine years. In this this case, it means even less that because you have not even shown that the amendment did a single thing. You have not even shown that it took away a dime from notifications--and the wording of the amendment strongly suggests it didn't take away a dime--which, btw, is about what each notification would cost. You also have not shown that the government's budget was inadequate for such notifications. But, I've raised these points before.
Your tactic has been to ignore what I post and keep repeating the nonsense that this amendment about no funds from "this bill" being used to notify foreign governments was heinous. You don't explain that or cite authority for it. You just keep repeating it, which is not persuasive in the least.
FYI, you are in very embarrassing company with this. http://www.democraticunderground.com/128027269 Not to mention that one has to wonder how a vote on a one line amendment from 2006 comes to anyone's attention, let alone that blogger.
Anyway, I don't enjoy posting with someone who ignores every point raised and just keeps repeating unsupported statements with nothing to back them up. So we're done here.
