2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDid anyone notice Biden endorsed "free"
college tuition?
He also agreed with many issues Bernie has talked about without of course mentioning Sanders name.

else way more surprising. who knows?

(3,649 posts)A Biden endorsement for Bernie would be pretty amazing, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Comments like yours say far more about your own disinclination to inform yourself than anything about Clinton.

(3,649 posts)At least, I know what she's been advocating for the last few months. But if Bernie starts gaining even more traction then who knows what it'll be tomorrow.
BainsBane
(53,016 posts)Her policy is to provide assistance to the poor but not the upper-middle class and the wealthy. But then you knew that.
Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)She uses Trump's kids as a reason why she doesn't want there to be publicly-funded tuition.
Of course, Trump's kids aren't likely to go to a community college, but you knew that.
And of course if they decided to do so, they're still Americans and deserve the same rights and access as the rest of us, but you knew that, too.
Maybe you ought to stick to theorizing about Sanders 'Retirement package," HillsHouse.
BainsBane
(53,016 posts)On the off-chance you decide actual policy matters (see links below).
Another poster was already proved wrong about insisting I was HillsHouse, but it is hardly surprising you would distract from your lack of basic information about Clinton's college plan by trying to make a personal jab, yet you can't even manage to make that with any accuracy. You might ask a poster familiar with the dangers of raccoons how that worked out for her.
It's not exactly difficult to read about Clinton's policies. She provided in-depth explanations on her website. You are in fact wrong. She proposes free community college and income-based fees for in-state public universities. Nor does she tax teachers retirement plans and union pension funds to pay for the education of the upper-middle class. True, she isn't committed to the great and noble struggle of the upper 20 percent against the 1 percent. She believes in targeting public resources toward those with the most need, a value that clearly flies in the face of those who use the artifice of the 99% to pretend their $200k annual incomes makes them every bit as exploited as the homeless and working poor.
Clinton's college education policy.

Now, you can choose to inform yourself or continue to misrepresent her position. Which choice you make is entirely up to you, whether you actually care about the issue, and the nature of your character.
You can find pages on other policies through the links on this page. https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/ They diverge signficantly from Sanders in that they are far more developed and specific than what one finds on his website.

Maybe you ought to learn the difference between populism and demagoguery.
BainsBane
(53,016 posts)Not in English.
Debates and most TV appearances provide a very brief time slot for someone to discuss their positions. For some candidates, everything they have to say can fit neatly in those time limits. Not so with Clinton; She takes policy seriously. What informed voters do is go read about the policies of the various candidates rather than repeat false claims and then refuse to read their policies. However, not every voter chooses to be informed. Some prefer a world of television soundbites.
I'd hazard a guess that I'm more familiar with populism (having taught about it at the college level) than you are, and I can't think of a single example that hasn't involved demagoguery.

(67,782 posts)....Biden proposed a free tuition policy back in January.
So I guess it is Sanders that endorsed Biden's policy.

ViseGrip
(3,133 posts)If he ran, it was to stop two families from continuing to occupy our White House, the wishes of Beau. Now that he's 'missed his window', I don't see him doing anything different while not being on the ticket. He'll honor his son's wishes regardless, by talking up Sanders's issues. That's my take.

(12,655 posts)he doesn't have to say his name. all of the policies he advocated for are the same positions as Bernie. Add that to the fact that he's been taking swipes at Hillary for a while now, most people smart enough to connect the dots.
