You got there first so I'll C+P my post. A totally ignorant remark by Sanders. Otto Lidenbrock Jan 2020 #1

I agree with your analysis Gothmog Jan 2020 #2

That's not right. cannabis_flower Jan 2020 #8

Not what he said... brooklynite Jan 2020 #12

You're right. I misread the statement, but stand by that Sanders would not do better to flip state Otto Lidenbrock Jan 2020 #20

So President Barack Obama is "not a real Dem"? Cha Jan 2020 #38

Remind us which candidate suggested Obama should be Primaried? brooklynite Jan 2020 #43

"...That speaks to very bad work done by Democrats.. " Cha Jan 2020 #21

Yes, do you believe any political party is above criticism? Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #22

"very bad work".. BS digs in those insults to my Dem Party. Cha Jan 2020 #23

So your "Dem Party" is above criticism, got it. Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #26

BS is gratuitiously insulting the Democratic Party Cha Jan 2020 #29

Well with getting only 10% of the white vote, I believe Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #31

It's Not the Democrats fault that Barack Obama Cha Jan 2020 #35

My Democratic Party can handle criticism, even if yours can't, Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #113

Oh Bull.. It's not "criticism'.. it's an insult. Cha Jan 2020 #118

This isn't the time for critiques of the Democratic Party. Why isn't he focusing on beating Trump? StarfishSaver Jan 2020 #69

Sorry but the party has put little to no money in races in the south in the past. It wasn't vsrazdem Jan 2020 #58

I didn't "chop off" anything. I posted the video in which he says that StarfishSaver Jan 2020 #33

That tweet you posted IS the OP particularly as you made "no comment." Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #34

The tweet contains a video I expected people to watch StarfishSaver Jan 2020 #37

If s they are not going to read or look at the information provided, that's their problem StarfishSaver Jan 2020 #44

That's why it became my responsibility to add context since you didn't wish to. n/t Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #47

Your "context" doesn't do a thing to change the stupidity and tone-deafness of the comment. StarfishSaver Jan 2020 #72

KR! Cha Jan 2020 #106

Yes to this! StarfishSaver Jan 2020 #32

And if Sanders is the answer to that problem, why did so few turn out to vote for him? W_HAMILTON Jan 2020 #93

Excellent question-which he will ignore. 58Sunliner Jan 2020 #95
