He hadn't adopted the language of BLM yet but if you watch this short video the night before Netroots Nation 2015 and the BLMs first disruption of a Bernie Sanders presentation.

But to the point of your OP. Bernie is successfully leading 30% of the Democratic Party to date.

To be fair, Hillary is a war monger. morningfog Nov 2015 #2
Let's be fair, Sanders has voted more times for military action than Hillary has, Sanders is a war Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #3
He didn't vote for disaster , IWR bahrbearian Nov 2015 #6
He voted to fund the Iraq war the same day he voted against the AUMF ucrdem Nov 2015 #9
Don't confuse them with facts MaggieD Nov 2015 #13
voting to defund troops in the field is reprehensible restorefreedom Nov 2015 #26
Why do you lie and smear Hillary by calling her a warmonger? Vattel Nov 2015 #12
The lack of foreign affairs ability was very oblivious in the last debate, yes, Hillary is very Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #4

That's a good thing. Better than having the experience of being wrong on foreign policy so often n/ eridani Nov 2015 #44
So say you, Sanders has been making decisions for twenty five years without Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #47
Voting no on the Iraq war shows a pretty comprehensive grasp of foreign policy. Unlike others. n/t eridani Nov 2015 #75
Yes he grasp on it when he voted the same day to fund the war, more for the defense Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #81
And you are against taking care of American soldiers after deployment? eridani Nov 2015 #82
No, she did not make the decision to put them in harm's, that was Bush's decision. Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #83
And she knew that Bush would invade--assuming that she is as smart as every objector to the war-- eridani Nov 2015 #84
Just as I can't say what you are thinking the same applies to others. Bush made the decision. Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #85
You can't vote against part of a bill. Maybe Clinton has come out against the F-35? eridani Nov 2015 #86
Did you see the cost of the F-35 so far? Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #87
