that is why i was hoping to get some insight and details if anyone here had them. i made that as clear as i possibly could.
of course it is a slanted article. but the one specific, the vote cited, that i checked turned out to be true. rather than spend the day with the google, i asked it here.

isnt debunking propaganda something that supporters ought to be ready to do?
it is really the first thing i have heard about him that is out of character. most of the anti-bern stuff around here has been overblown conjecture. so i wanted the facts.

i didnt write it. i didnt find it. a hillary supporter really did post it on fb. she isnt the sharpest knife in the drawer, tho she thinks she is. i debunk her posts all the time. i was looking forward to debunking this one.
