120. Actually, what Biden does or does not do, does not excuse Senator Sanders' reneging

Mon Mar 2, 2020, 02:21 PM

Mar 2020

on his announced assurances that he would live up to the standard that HE stated all candidates should live up to. You are attempting, and not succeeding in distracting from the gap between what Sanders said he would do, and what he did.

What you're attempting is exactly that, using Whataboutism. You can google that and find several websites that explain this.

In any event, even if that were not the case, there are so many mental failings that I do not see how Biden could ever win against Trump.

I would also be cautious broaching "mental issues" concerning any other candidate. That can come back and bite ya.

You're welcome.

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