[Lord Beasley]

[OfTheCross]

let Vermont decide if this matters

 

[88m3]

wow disgusting little charlatan

 

[A.R.$]

I didn’t watch the video yet, but his presidential run was during his second term. He probably missed the majority of senate votes in 2015, and 2016 while he ran for president.

Dude is beyond clown status

Male version of Jill Stein

 

[BaggerofTea]

Bernie has got to go, he is senile and an idiot.

Said Trump was the most racist sexist bigoted president in US history Like Jim Crow, Slavery, Tuskegee, Tulsa Riots, numerous times when the federal government overlooked a lynch mob terrorizing and murdering black americans.

This dude is clueless. Sick and tired of these geriatric fukks, we need young blood in our politics asap

Thread title is purposefully misleading. He missed 70% of the votes in 2016. He's participated in every vote since July 2017


This is a stupid and naive thread. Obviously he missed votes during 2015-2016, he was running for fukking president.
Barack Obama also missed 70% of the Senate votes in 2008.

If you think Bernie Sanders wasn't in DC voting when his vote was needed, you're wrong.

None of those votes were decided by a single vote. The closest one was 52-47, and it was one the many health care bills, so it's not like he's missing pivotal bills either.


fukk outta here with your bullshyt nap

 

[fact]

Thank you for at least making a thread and not littering the BIG thread with the Sanders hate

Yup. As I said earlier, if you run for president you are going to miss votes. I didn’t even have to watch the video to know it was nonsense. I don’t get why people attack Bernie on bullshyt like this. There are legit criticisms of Bernie they could focus on if they weren’t trying to be hacks.

 

[JJ Evans]

I have no problem with this.

I’m not a big Bernie fan, but would have no problem supporting him if he ended up going up against Donald Trump.

The Republicans control every branch of government, so it doesn’t really matter if he votes or not

 

[88m3]

Barack Obama also missed 70% of the Senate votes in 2008.

Let me let you in on a little secret.

Spoiler: Spoiler

Barack won and Bernie lost.

They attack Bernie Sanders because he represents actual progressive liberal policies (i.e. what every Scandanavian country has been rocking for decades...)

Meanwhile, the corporate "democrats" are just republicans masquerading as left-wingers.
And the republicans are full blown nazis.

That's also why the Democrats completely rolled over and let the republicans stonewall them during the Obama administration, meanwhile they work across the aisle once Trump is in office.
When they have power, they don't use it so they can pretend they're still liberal while offering no actual liberal policies then blame it on republicans stonewalling. And then when they're not in power, they can help the other side continue their far-right policies.

This has been going on for damn near a century. Same "democrats" who blame George Bush on Ralph Nader.

Let me let you in on a little secret.

Spoiler: Spoiler

Barack won and Bernie lost.

And?

I was pointing out that when you run for president, you miss senate votes.

Thanks for cutting my post down to two sentences to make a irrelevant, blatantly obvious remark, though. Not like I refuted the belief that Sanders' missed votes had any tangible effect.
