But I do not appreciate being called a Republican. I supported Senator Sanders since 2007 I was hoping he would run in 2008 but he did not. When he failed to win the 2016 nomination, I supported Hillary Clinton for president and voted for her and all Democratic Candidates down ballot.

I lost my old "handle" when the forum was hack, albeit I only had 450 posts across 15 years.

You will have to forgive me for looking up your recent OP. Almost all your posts across this forum are in some way in support of Senator Sanders. I can't read an article without seeing your "handle" defending Senator Sanders in one way or another.

I can understand why you would not want to commit to be a Sanders 2020 supporter on this forum. But your lack of defense of other candidates shows.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

You really think it's that easy to just get 'healthcare and clean energy'. You'll be happier UniteFightBack Jan 2020 #62

No, I think it's hard. DanTex Jan 2020 #63

It's Bernie who is being dishonest by misleading people that he can do all this. We need a UniteFightBack Jan 2020 #67

All I have seen on DU is anti-Biden attacks. But I guess Bernie doc03 Jan 2020 #4

Really? Cause right now there's one about Bernie supposedly misrepresenting Biden DanTex Jan 2020 #5

can people on DU stop acting like their candidate has no flaws??? Skittles Jan 2020 #8

Yes they do. So why the need to make up other stuff just to attack Bernie. DanTex Jan 2020 #11

there certainly is no need to make stuff up Skittles Jan 2020 #24

Well, in that case, it's a quite odd decision that people make things up to attack him. DanTex Jan 2020 #25

Yes, I agree, making things up to attack candidates is an odd decision. ehrnst Jan 2020 #33

And? It seems to me all of those things are true...so the problem is what? Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #9

And they're all silly, either outright false, or else totally irrelevant. DanTex Jan 2020 #10

Which one is false? They all seem true from what I have seen...and of course any Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #17

Bernie didn't take Biden out of context. DanTex Jan 2020 #23

Well....there's been a problem with that ehrnst Jan 2020 #27

He did say Medicare/Medicaid for everyone would bankrupt the country in what 87 So true... Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #38

come on it was 87 ...Reagan was king...and he said it...let's not spin here. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #57

Go back and look at the video! He clearly talks about the funding mechanism. DanTex Jan 2020 #60

Speaking of parodies vs reality and that NYT article... DanTex Jan 2020 #55

Violent threats vulgarity and smears are NEVER okay!! Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #64

I agree. Nobody is in favor of violent threats. DanTex Jan 2020 #65

Bernie is not surging in the polls!! Quinnipiac out today proves that Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #71

If you can't tell which ones are parodies, you're not trying very hard. TwilightZone Jan 2020 #14

The second one is also parody. Bernie didn't poison anyone's water supply or burn anyone's crops. DanTex Jan 2020 #16
