In reply to the discussion: Sanders Criticizes California for Denying Independent Voters the Right to Vote (??) [View all]Tweedy
(1,096 posts)We've been listening to Breakfast with Bernie for years. He does seem to have difficulty recognizing allies, i will give you that.
Yet, Senator Sanders sees our country's problems with acuity. That is his feature attraction imho. Where he goes awry is blaming things equally on the democrats and republicans. That is his bug and his major error.
Think about the cornhusker kickback here. People went nuts about it.
What crime did Senator Nelson commit? The crime of securing federal funds for Nebraska, in the interests of his constituents.
Meanwhile, the incompetent in chief and all of his incompetent minions have both hands in our treasury in the interests of themselves.
And the democrats boot all accused to the curb sometimes too fast; whereas the republicans hide dirt and embrace the scoundrel unless the public turns on them.
Bernie Sanders would do himself a world of good by ditching false equivalency. His heart, though, is in the right place. There is vanity in his run, but it is incidental to his good character even though it still may be toxic.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
