(45,120 posts)will change. Biden and Obama were a sea of change after Bush and Cheney, different as night and day. Is this supposed to make her look bad? Because it doesn't. I thought Biden was a great VP with Obama. Obama isn't with him this time and the times and needs of the people have changed.

Disgusting and pitiful in obvious ways.

(3,855 posts)Nor is there anything unusual about thanking Biden when he did something that was important to the whole of the Democratic party.
Democrats have even thanks Republicans when said Republican did something good.
It's called being gracious. And trying to get said person to keep doing good things.
Seriously, it's like some people think if you're a progressive, you have whip out a Bat' leth and challenge every establishment Democrat you see to a duel.

(24,123 posts)When Joe's record is fully and properly vetted and compared to Bernie's, that's when the Bernie surge we're seeing now will really start to gain stream!! It will be fun to watch!!
Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

(3,855 posts)Or that Sanders didn't' work to get Clinton elected?
Or that Sanders sides against Democrats?
Because we have shown video after video of Democrats praising Sanders, of Clinton thanking Sanders of his hard work on her behalf in 2016, of Democrats putting Sanders in important committee positions on the Dems behalf...
.... and weirdly, many seem to think that doesn't' matter. Either history matters or it doesn't.
So yeah the double standard really doesn't help the argument here.
I am not even saying Nina Turner didn't' compliment Joe Biden. If establishment candidates can say good things about Sanders, I don't' see why progressives would never say anything nice about establishment Democrats.
Helping secure voting rights for African Americans has long been a Democratic concern, especially during the Obama administration. So Biden, acting on Obama's behalf, naturally would have received praise from Nina Turner for whom this is also important.
Of course, we can also consider the effect of the bankruptcy bill, it's effect on African Americans, and if Nina Turner was as thankful.
But yeah.. maybe we should stop cherry-picking history. Just saying

(38,687 posts)"...he is the longest serving independent in U.S. congressional history and a member of the Democratic caucus."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders
And here:
"... longest serving independent member of Congress in American history."
https://www.sanders.senate.gov/about
And (ouch!) here:
"As the longest serving Independent in the history of the United States Congress, as somebody who came into office by defeating an incumbent Democratic mayor in Burlington, Vermont, I know something about third party politics. And I respect Jill (Stein).

Yes, Independent.

(2,061 posts)There is no one out front of a campaign like he is. How can you see what you are here, knowing Sirota has compared one of our Democrats plans to the 9-11 terrorist attack, and say this guy is anything like Sirota? Sirota is a piece of shit.

(7,277 posts)Nina wasn't much better back in the day.
Biden was the personification of change in 2008, as much as Bernie is the personification of sweetness and light, today.
(hint: she wasn't talking about Joe)
