Highlight:

I noticed that Sanders flip-flopped on Obama. [View all] Evergreen Emerald Oct 2015 OP

How has he been "distancing himself from Obama?" Scootaloo Oct 2015 #1

Maybe suggesting a 2012 primary challenge to him? JaneyVee Oct 2015 #2

As pointed out below, that's not accurate at all. Scootaloo Oct 2015 #20

this is false, he did suggest that Obama have a primary challenge uponit7771 Oct 2015 #60

He hasn't. It's a lie. Fearless Oct 2015 #3

What about that status quo? Agschmid Oct 2015 #4

What about it? Fearless Oct 2015 #6

Sanders is running against it... Agschmid Oct 2015 #9

Are you saying Obama is a corporate shill? Fearless Oct 2015 #10

He called for a primary of Obama in 2012c bravenak Oct 2015 #11

Actually he didn't, you're lying. Fearless Oct 2015 #15

Well there goes another meme. beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #30

Facts at this point don't matter to FUD, that's what this is ... they flip flop often uponit7771 Oct 2015 #63

. beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #78

That does not say he did not want him primaried. bravenak Oct 2015 #93

You said he called for a primary. beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #94

There's a letter saying he did Capt. Obvious Oct 2015 #97

! beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #98

I did. bravenak Oct 2015 #99

Where is it? beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #101

He said more than that. You cherry picked. I noticed how often people who use certain tactics repeat bravenak Oct 2015 #104

Focus bravenak, where in that article does it say that Bernie "called for a primary"? beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #105

. bravenak Oct 2015 #106

Repeating a story over and over doesn't make it true. beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #107

I am glad you finally know that fact. bravenak Oct 2015 #109

Well at least you're reposting a different link over and over. That's progress! beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #111

I sent you a message. I like you bmus. I hope it helps. bravenak Oct 2015 #112

Nope, still not seeing where Bernie "called for a primary". Maybe if you tried posting the text? beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #115

Look. I find it hard to address people who have done so much. bravenak Oct 2015 #117

Why don't you just address Armstead's post instead? beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #139

I can decide which posts to answer on my own, my friend. bravenak Oct 2015 #144

That's what I thought. Oh well, it'll still be there when you wake up. beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #154

Did you see upthread where I predicted a response like this? bravenak Oct 2015 #157

Since you have the time why can't you post the text from the article? beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #158

It is posted in this thread already. To posts it more would be spamming. I am not interested. bravenak Oct 2015 #159

No it's not, and trust me, no one is more amused by this than I am. beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #160

This is the part where we pretend, right? I love this part!!!! bravenak Oct 2015 #161

Asking you to prove your claim is trying to "force" you to do my bidding? beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #163

You can't kill a meme, silly! It will be in the Urban Dictionary before long and then, enter the bravenak Oct 2015 #175

LOL. I don't need to try anything again. nt boston bean Oct 2015 #155

If one had the magic circle d decoder ring "enliven the debate" Autumn Oct 2015 #184

There was a lot at stake when this happened. beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #185

And now you're going down the most inane of logical fallacies. Scootaloo Oct 2015 #96

I am not even using twitter right now. Too many classes. bravenak Oct 2015 #100

Well, that's good, I guess. And hey! There ARE worse things than twitter. Like Barrens Chat. Scootaloo Oct 2015 #179

Oh! bravenak Oct 2015 #180

What are you her daddy? For real. Infantalizing bs right there. boston bean Oct 2015 #146

Nope. Are you? Scootaloo Oct 2015 #176

"Getting Primaried" is not the same as having a primary debate Armstead Oct 2015 #118

WOW, thank you for sharing...I didn't know that. nt Stellar Oct 2015 #119

You are welcome. bravenak Oct 2015 #132

I find that to be confusing. Yes wages are stagnant, social issues are boiling over, Autumn Oct 2015 #188

+1 Ed Suspicious Oct 2015 #51

Strawman, we're talking about "status quo" and Sanders near conssumate criticism of Obama uponit7771 Oct 2015 #61

It's a bit early for clinton supporters to start using the Palinisms, isn't it? Scootaloo Oct 2015 #73

I think they forgot which website they're on. beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #82

Oh, and also... Gotta pull an Inigo on you. Scootaloo Oct 2015 #89

Specifically? Scootaloo Oct 2015 #22

I responded up thread if you want to read it. Agschmid Oct 2015 #36

Yes, and you were very vague and hand-wavey. Scootaloo Oct 2015 #42

You know I actually don't think Sanders is really "against" Obama... Agschmid Oct 2015 #43

Bernie's whole point is "the status quo should be better." Scootaloo Oct 2015 #46

I didn't make that claim really... Agschmid Oct 2015 #47

What crap. Sanders always says Obama is unfairly demonized by Republicans. mhatrw Oct 2015 #76

How dare you say such Sacrilege! stevenleser Oct 2015 #5
