In reply to the discussion: As Sanders Demands End to Iran Sanctions to Save Lives Amid Coronavirus Pandemic, Biden Says [View all]beastie boy
(11,293 posts)Don't put words in my mouth, Joe. The subject of your OP is Biden, not me. You keep deflecting rather than address your own content.
Please read my post carefully. Nowhere in it do I comment on my stance towards the sanctions. You have no legitimate excuse to make it about me. It's way above my pay scale to comment on the sanctions themselves. Besides, I am not in a habit to make sweeping statements on shit I know precious little about. My response was not about sanctions, or my opinion of them, but about Bernie. Without any evidence that lifting sanctions will improve Iran's ability to combat the epidemic, he is calling for an illogical response to the problem at hand. This is especially irresponsible since more logical solutions, one of which I suggested, are apparent. This reminds me of the post I saw on this forum, claiming that a young man died because we don't have M4A. There are so many degrees of separation between the cause and the effect, one has just about nothing to do with the other. This is what I am objecting to: calling for action without as much as an even cursory examination of its consequences and effectiveness.
Apparently, Biden has the same problem with Bernie's statement. I am not surprised.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
