remembers all the other debates when Biden had no problem standing for hours. Either they think their followers are stupid and dishonest or they forgot about the debates that already happened.

Apparently he's not as smart as people think.

Rather than accepting the TRUTH that Bernie is not going to be our party's nominee... he still thinks that there's "a chance" if only he can kneecap our nominee and hobble him enough. But... it won't work. Yet, he ends up creating false narratives that give the GOP something to run with.

Fuck Michael Moore!

From my observations Moore’s predictions and endorsements have been mediocre at best.

Half the time he is out there telling us how we are going to lose. His negativity is not how you win elections

I remember him saying McCain would win, and that we would be seeing President Romney

His fans make excuses for him saying things such as his negativity is to motivate people to get out to vote. I don’t buy that for a minute

I think a lot of people are very tired of MM

Sun Mar 8, 2020, 10:42 AM

that, so this was a very deliberate and vicious lie.

I'm posting a second reply here to link to an ADL article about the incident:

https://www.adl.org/blog/white-supremacist-unfurls-nazi-flag-at-arizona-sanders-rally


White supremacist Robert Sterkeson interrupted Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders’ Thursday, March 5, 2020, rally in Phoenix, Arizona, when he waved a Nazi flag behind Sanders. Fellow rally attendees quickly pulled the flag from Sterkeson’s hands, and security teams removed him from the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

Sterkeson, of Glendale, Arizona, is a self-described “stunt activist” who has harassed a range of Jewish and Muslim organizations and events. He uses evidence of these incidents to create online content, which he often posts to his eponymous YouTube channel or his Bitchute channel, “BombIslam.com.”

of desperation. He was pushing the sit down debate as some kind of conspiracy against Bernie, but the irony is that it is Bernie who grips the podium as if he is using it for balance. That has been very noticeable about Bernie for awhile. But they are pushing that Biden needs to sit down.

He sounds as crazy as the MAGAs on FOX. Remember he was on TV right after the election crowing about his prediction Trump would win. It was like salt in a wound. I’ve had it with him, and I used to like him.
