Wow, if he wanted to alienate Democrats and some of his supporters, this is the way to do it. Everyone says that Bernie Sanders is a good man, but this latest attack should shake the confidence of everyone's belief in the goodness of Senator Sanders.

Who knows what the hell is going on in there, but apparently, someone in his campaign decided it's time to go find the last dead horse and beat the shit out of it.

(1,235 posts)All I see are pictures of the original bullshit from the Sanders bunch making the stupid accusations.
Not that it would be wrong for Sanders to point out this bullshit, but even that claim seems to be missing evidence.

(1,235 posts)Emails in my experience have email addresses on them. This is a picture of an article and someone claiming it's an email.

(8,175 posts)Because the only way ^^this^^ is not silly, is if you write it this way:
Wow, if she wanted to alienate Democrats, and some of her supporrters, this is the way to do it. Everyone says that Hillary is a good woman (NOT), but this latest attack should shake the confidence of everyone's belief in the goodness of SOS Clinton.
And I would have to add:
As a matter of fact, this is just more of the same for Hillary and Brock. This is the way she rolls.
And if Bernie stands up to her nasty attacks, it makes him a good man in my eyes.

Here is the shitty quote from Hillary supporter, Congressman Hakeem Jeffries.
He must clearly and unequivocally call upon his supporters, such as Rosario Dawson, to stop providing aid and comfort to Donald Trump and the Republican Party, Mr. Jeffries added.

(8,175 posts)In other words, Hillary is calling us traitors. For doing the very thing she did when running against Obama. Was she a traitor then?Over the past few days, Hillary Clinton's campaign and some of it's top supporters have launched an odd new line of attack against people like you (Bernie supporters) who stand with Bernie. they are saying that by continuing to campaign and fight for every vote, for every delegate, that "we are helping Donald Trump".
They've used language reserved for traitors to our country, saying we are 'giving aid and comfort' to Trump.
So...they have called us the traitors, Bernie was not calling them traitors.
You see, you tried to use this against Bernie (I'm sure it came from Brock...everyone got the same message, right?), by pretending Hillary and her supporters were being called traitors, when in fact, it was just the opposite.
Hillary is on a new campaign low right now and she will say anything at this point, and Brock is going to try to turn it all against Bernie, but this time he blew it.
Comprehension. It's what makes conversation great!

Hillary Clinton's campaign used language about Sanders and his supports that is usually reserved for traitors - giving aid and comfort.
It is she who is alienating Democrats and leftists. Having her surrogates use such language and conflating him with Trump.
Play your little games but just remember who fucked up come November and she loses.
