In reply to the discussion: All of the Bernie Bashing is a form of cyberbullying which has no place on this website. [View all]Rilgin
(793 posts)Every single politician on this planet and every person has stuff that one could do the same thing. This is true of every politician you support. There are no saints and there are no perfectly brilliant people. All people make mistakes. Joe Biden has made political mistakes in his past. If I posted it relentlessly and claimed it was all fact and everything that defined him, you would correctly take offense. That is the problem with your opinions. Bernie is not perfect and has policies that you may not like. Feel free to not like a politician but give other people the same courtesy. I would much rather live in a world that has the principles Bernie has stood for years. You may not. What I like about him is that he does not originate compromise watered down bills although he does vote for them and does offer amendments.
That is what I like about Bernie. Notice that I have not said any specific flaw about your candidate who is soon to be our candidate. This is because I care about unity. However, what you want to do is hammer anyone who disagrees with you about Bernie into the ground by picking his imperfections while not seeing what makes him generally liked by most democrats. This is all irrelevant except that right now we are in the midst of a crisis and rather than unify with other democrats that generally are on the same side as compared to the republican mindset, you want to post out your hatred of Bernie which has no unifying elements at all.
Try it. Skip a day. Post only why you like Joe and how great he is and all that he has accomplished rather than posting why other people should not like Bernie. You might like it.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
