Bernie's coming across like a real a****** during this debate. He's not answering any questions he's just asking them. He's asking asking asking theoretical hypothetical theoretical hypothetical question? He's got no answers no answers no answers.0

Yes, he’s become a millionaire just a few years ago while in his mid-seventies. Somewhere between 2-2.5 million, 1.75 of which is from book sales, not from taking money of special interests.mickeyrat said:

Bernie's whole selling point is: "vote for me, I've gotten nothing accomplished and disagree with everything that ever happened"
Bernie's not a leader. He's a loser. He keeps talking about his record. He has no record. No accomplishments. All bluster, no action.0 -

Nothing accomplished? He’s shifted the overall platform of the Democratic primary further to the left, where it needs to be. There’s no reason to believe Biden won’t just return us to exactly where we were prior to Trump, which is how we ended up with that douchebag.CM189191 said:Bernie's whole selling point is: "vote for me, I've gotten nothing accomplished and disagree with everything that ever happened"

Bernie shifted the platform so far to the left that Biden is the front runner, who will bring us right back to where we were before trump
Did I read that right?0 -
Bernie's debate tactic:
Here's what wrong with society : A, B, C
Now what are you going to do about it Joe?
Bernie has no answers, only questions
He's basically the Karen of politics, demanding to speak to the manager

Bernie: Here are my complaints
Biden: Here's a list of specific items I have accomplished to address your complaints, and what I plan to do going forward.
Bernie: But you didn't do enoooouuuugh. Also, I voted against everything you just said.0 -

That turned out to be a lie.
Bernie said he would support the Democratic nominee.
Will that turn out to be a lie too?0 -

I think it's permission structures. It was theorized on Pod Save America, it's a technique used by the former Obama administration it varies from Sanders' usual debate approach, and it coincides with massive confidence around Biden: Sanders is trying to create a permission structure for his voters to feel comfortable with Biden before he drops out.

Does an employer that happens to work in defense and donate to Bernie because they support the agenda somehow represent defense industry special interests?
stated another way:
I work in insurance. So I give to the candidate that is going to protect the insurance industry.
My employer is in the insurance industry. So they give to the candidate that is going to protect their employees.
so what does 'special interest' really mean?
is it just another buzz word that Bernie uses to shift blame from his own failures?0 -
