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?
So when someone donates to Bernie, it's for the overall betterment of society.
But when someone donates to Biden, it's representing special interests.
Well that's a convenient of looking at things.0 -

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. If he doesn't handle it methodically, they won't swing when he leaves.'05 - TO, '06 - TO 1, '08 - NYC 1 & 2, '09 - TO, Chi 1 & 2, '10 - Buffalo, NYC 1 & 2, '11 - TO 1 & 2, Hamilton, '13 - Buffalo, Brooklyn 1 & 2, '15 - Global Citizen, '16 - TO 1 & 2, Chi 2

The inability to be flexible over the course of time is not an asset. The inability to change your position as the world around you changes is not an asset. The inability to cope with reality is not an asset.
If Bernie wants to be an ideologue, go teach at university somewhere. Quit wasting everyone's time with promises you can't keep.

Nice horseshoes
Were you not paying attention during debates?
Everytime Bernie brought up a litany of complaints, Biden responded with "yes I agree with you, furthermore here are the exact steps I've taken, and what I plan to do going forward"
Meanwhile Bernie is doing his best veruca salt impression ' but I want it noooooow'
Best thing Bernie can do to effectuate change right now with this instant is drop out of the race and back Biden. That's it. Full stop.0 -
Don't let winning the argument become more important than achieving the goal.

I cannot reiterate this enough. Our system of government is designed around two major parties. The checks and balances lie in the three branches of government.McConnell Has a Request for Veteran Federal Judges: Please QuitThe Senate majority leader has encouraged judges thinking about stepping down to do so soon to ensure that Republicans confirm their replacements this year.
