Question for Bernie Supporters.

[The Magistrate]

39. That Is a Deliberate Mis-Reading Of the Comment You Reply To, Sir

Nothing in it even implies anything is to be opposed merely because 'Bernie' is for it.

The facts that 'Bernie' is quite shaky on the particulars which must undergird sweeping proposals for reform, and that 'Bernie' clearly lacks the legislative acumen to get the measures he proposes passed by Congress, are presented. It is noted that 'Medicare for All' is a mere marketing slogan, and one that has succeeded no better than 'New Coke' managed to do.

Further, 'Bernie' is urged to get behind the Party and help with the heavy lifting of actually getting some reforms into law, whether they are exactly what he envisions or not.

Disputing these points may be possible, but the sort of blanket and distorted dismissal you have proffered will not do at all....






"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
