2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhy Bernie?
Because
By his history he has shown that he is for the people.
By his history he has shown that he can effectively advocate for the people (Amendment King).
By his history he has proven that he can't be corrupted by the system.
By his history he has proven that he will not engage in politics to divide us by race, by gender, by sexual orientation, by religion etc. and he will stand up forcefully up for those without a powerful voice. (The pounding on the table for affordable housing that some ridiculed).
By his history Bernie has proven that he is a man of good judgment.
They play their stupid manipulative games with the aid of their big money friends who own portions of our media (e.g., the Daily News) to try to give the false impression that Bernie doesn't understand how to deal with the issues. Don't be fooled by their games. I have heard Bernie in numerous tough interviews and I can see his thoughtful measured responses and the wheels turning.

Deception, voter suppression, cheating, lies, bad press, and dumb ass Americans who eat it all up.

(110,159 posts)4. His history does not show he is for the people, but for self.
His doesnt show he is advocate for others, he sat in congress for 2 and half decades pretty quiet.
His history does not show he cannot be corrupted. He sold the vote to Dems in 1991, NRA and Lockheed/Martin that I know.
His history does not show he cannot be corrupted. Minute men, anyone?
This very election was ALL about dividing. Really?
Horrible judgment. Pope fiscal?
