Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: How do you fall for the Bernie Sanders scam? Martin O'Malley [View all]ramen
(862 posts)Bernie Sanders is a lot of things, some of which are negative, but this interview is slimeball stuff. Martin O'Malley is a thoroughly decent moderate, but the first paragraph of the article makes the baselessness of his positions on Sanders pretty plain. We were through all that garbage four years ago. Bernie Sanders is on our side, as far as I can tell. He has been very, very consistently so, which MOM acknowledges in the interview.
[I think the only possible counterargument is the Brady bill and, though I don't agree with his position there, it is very much representative of his people in Vermont. Vermont is pretty loose regarding guns.]
Anyhow, when someone left of Biden makes these sorts of arguments about Biden (DINO, fair weather Democrat, look at his voting record on X (the Iraq war, etc)) this site seizes on that as spreading discord and dividing what needs uniting, and I think that is probably mostly good. But when it goes the other direction, the difference in response is pretty telling. Don't fall for it. If the guy is our nominee then I think we all need to be ready to not just vote but to GOTV.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
