I guess.

As he himself said, no one had brought it to his attention - for decades - until earlier in his campaign.

Granted I wouldn't comment on a nazi-imagery tattoo on someone I didn't know either.

Try it a different way though. If he -was- a nazi - why keep it when running for Senate?

About Sanders?

You know there's a huge gap between 'forcing' and 'offering one example'

I did eventually find some unfortunate homophobic comments from that Maine Senator. And that's plenty to b mad about.

But the nazi thing doesn't seem to stick.

Lame.

No thanks. You can go fk yourself though. Good alternate plan? Cool.

Yup.

To Mike Johnson on his 'health care plans for congress'
"“But if you have ideas and you have plans, why not have that out there to talk about in the public?” she asked."

The only problem with the nuclear block is it allows people the perfect excuse to drop out of an argument when they can't back up their sht.

And then they can repeat that pattern ad nauseam.

remember this?

Re: the homophobic comments -YES- that would be valid criticism.

I'll wait for the apology on the nazi apologist comment.

Lol.

And that would be why the whole 'actions louder than words' argument is not actually a valid point here.

Yes. He should have said 'had bad judgment'.

We definitely can't gauge a person's worth based on decisions from their early 20s.

We all made some insane mistakes at that age.

-does- he have a history of rape apologia and racism?

I'm seeing him having a history of -condemning- racism.

I'd be defending the other progressive candidates just as hard if it seemed like they were being unfairly criticized.

Oh please.

Save the 'nazi apologist' label for any of the other actual real-world examples of nationalism, white supremacy, actual nazi-ism etc. You weaken that valid criticism when used wherei it isn't warranted.

Do you have -any- other example of him having pro-nazi feelings or actions?

Since the op nuclear blocked me here - probably because they didn't want to back up their bullchit, I'll just assume you're being uselessly smug here.

?

Or we can just stop letting one mistake that doesn't seem to reflect a person's actual policy or opinions not define his eligibility as a candidate.

He remove the tattoo. That would be an 'action'.

Opinion | We're doing it again: Warren and Sanders supporters are falling for 2016's trap We have to walk a fine line of not ignoring systemic issues like sexism, and also not falling into toxic patterns connected to past grudges.

See - if i was being unfair, i'd accuse you of being ride-or-die for Hillary here. But I don't think that's what you're doing. I also like Hillary. I like Sanders. I think they both had/have important contributions to the overall conversation.

This seems pertinent.

You said 'start with Lewis'. That was the first issue between Lewis and Sanders that I found.

I'm doing what you asked. You don't want me to send you unrelated things? Then just be specific. I'm asking for valid criticism of Sanders.

'barged into a conversation'

it's social media. If you want a private conversation, do it in DMs.

Yes, jumping on you for the t-shirt comment was overkill. i'm sorry.

It's not 'ride-or-die' - it's 'you don't have a valid beef against him, and I don't like unfounded criticism'

Yeah, it's not for -my- honor. Isn't it beneath you to pull the 'virtue signaling' argument? Again - a right-wing favorite.

FFS indeed.

I asked you to back up what you said. It's a social media site. And since i'm -not- insulting women or black people, maybe consider this is different.

Do you mean when he said you can't -just- rely on identity politics? Key word there.

here's an update on Lewis from 2016.

So he's just a full bigot?

Way to go Cuomo. Keeping it classy.

I'm not ruling out ineptitude. They don't have a wide talent pool to pick from in the 'willing to throw away one's legal career prospects to follow a trump idiot pipe dream'

And btw. He did. So I imagine given your previous criteria, he's acceptable now?

Or young drunk idiots who don't realize what they're doing is being a young drunk idiot.

People grow up. Allow the man's lifetime of not being a nazi do the talking.

Wow a second blessing on my heart. How wholesome.

Whew! Imagine having absolutely no argument ,and the best you can manage is idiotic finger pointing.

Kid... can I call you kid?

Kid. Check my feed. Go find the racism. i.e. put up or shut up

:)

Did you want to actually point out where Bernie's been a racist or problematic?

Or did you just want to condescend uselessly like a maga?

In other words 'no, you have no actual examples, and you're going to chortle on without substance.'

You know who's famous for that kind of argument, right?

People actually willing to advocate for the working class? Get money out of politics?

Yes, that is indeed extremely rare in the Senate. And I think that's Bernie's frustration.

What repugnant attitude are you referencing here? Did the guy support white supremacy? Engage in racist conduct?

No.... no no.

Trump is obviously racist. He says racist things on the regular. Bernie is most vocal about income inequality, the need for healthcare for all, and Israel's behavior in Gaza.

So trying to find the racists on the left? And targeting Bernie? not at all the same thing.

Is it you? Because you seem to want to lash out with a useless comment like that.

Right.

So instead of focusing on the tattoo (i.e. words - something of little import) we should be focusing on what he's done. Overwhelmingly pro-worker and liberal (while condemning racism)
