LOL. " Grow a pair and get on the bus as I command and bring duct tape."
I'm not pretending to be a part of his team. I don't think I'm going to support Bernie in the 2020 primary but I'll decide after the debates. Meanwhile, you just keep on with that rhetoric. Too funny that I've just been called out for hoping to see a wide field of candidates take the stage for the debates.
Bernie is very divisive. Not the kind of trait I'd like to see in a president. I don't like that trait in Trump either.
Please recall that you vigorously defended what Bernie said about Obama at a commemoration held for Martin Luther King last spring:
"The business model, if you like, of the Democratic Party for the last 15 years or so has been a failure," Sanders said. "People sometimes don't see that because there was a charismatic individual named Barack Obama, who won the presidency in 2008 and 2012."
"He was obviously an extraordinary candidate, brilliant guy," the senator added. "But behind that reality, over the last 10 years, Democrats have lost about 1,000 seats in state legislatures all across this country."
Black people really appreciate it when old white people praise an admired leader who happens to be black for being charismatic, extraordinary and brilliant when their failures are pointed out at venues that are symbolically important to black people. Bernie forgot to mention Obama's athletic ability. It was probably an oversight because Bernie never played basketball.
Imagine if Clinton spoke along the same lines as Bernie's speech:
The city of Tallahassie has been marred with real estate corruption scandals. People don't see that because there was a charismatic individual named Andrew Gillum in charge of the city during that time.
He is obviously an extraordinary candidate, brilliant guy, but behind that reality, the time of his tenure as mayor was marred in scandal and a federal grand jury last summer subpoenaed five years of city records related to redevelopment deals and developers, including a longtime friend, lobbyist and political ally of Mayor Gillum's.
NOW do you understand why Bernie is considered an awful leader for Black, Latino and women's rights issues? Not that he would be the disaster a Republican president is. I just want more from the primary candidate of MY choice.
