Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton tears open wound with her attack on Sanders [View all]booley
(3,855 posts)28. Slight problem
She simply said that it was too soon to be talking about any particular nominee.
A few really. But let me focus on just one
Your explanation would be more plausible IF for the last year Sanders and his followers hadn't been harangued with accusations they wouldn't support the Democratic nominee. Indeed Clinton herself made such an accusation, though sideways.
This kind of double standard makes some think it was never about Unity, It was about attacking Sanders.
And by "some" I definitely mean me.
To quote the saying, Hypocrisy makes a poor foundation to build an argument.

Oh and fun fact.
In 2016 sanders did 39 events on Clinton's behalf
In 2008 Clinton did 12 on Obama's behalf.
I don't want to hear any more about whether Sanders is the one who has to prove he will help the Democratic party.

It is FALSE that she refuses to endorse whoever wins the primaries. And Bernie tore open wounds

Biden has in the past supported "adjustments" in Social Security. So did Sanders, in 1996.

There you go, promoting Trump's fake "Biden is Corrupt" conspiracy theories.

She was asked questions during an interview and she answered them. Not "attacks".

The Democratic Party is sick of the dirty-tricks campaign, the lies, and the scorched earth

Rage is like oxygen to populist movements, without it they wither and die.

From Amie Parnes of the book Shattered. No surprise she would push this hyperbole garbage

It's not Hillary's problem that two online scribblers want her to commit yesterday.
