25. Are you also practicing false equivalency?

Sat Feb 22, 2020, 10:43 PM

Feb 2020

The GOP is enabling an unindicted co-conspirator to dismantle our justice system.

The democratic establishment (of which Bernie IS a part, since he caucuses with them) stood up to that threat and still stands up to that threat.

So-- what is he doing to move his fellow Senators? Insults are not a strategy.

It is very bad form to play 1960's radical today, in 2020. Bernie seems to be sadly stuck there.

Nonetheless, the Senator from Vermont is not a sadist, even if he is playing with false equivalency. This alone renders him a better choice than the current White House occupant.

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