Did Bernie lie?

when he said he wouldn't go negative. I'd say so. "If it walks like a duck etc". He realized he could stoke anger and fear with his campaign of innuendo and insinuation. Combine that with him making promises he knows he can't keep to a gullible electorate. it's not a pretty picture

Social Democrats don't call for political revolution.

They also don't believe in seizing private citizen's property.

Bernie fans have been telling me he has not changed his mind in 40 years. And they think that's a good thing!!

when they posted a graphic after the debate that showed Hillary's total career donations and implied it showed her lying about her speaking fees. I posted about it in this thread:

And they have continued to lie about her since then.

He claims no ambition, his supporters say the same. That's a lie. You HAVE to have ambition, and EGO to run for the office of President.

...and yet....::cue the angelic choirs::

he's not a politician, he's a SAINT! He does no wrong!

Only takes donations from the small donors, another lie, easily shown as false.

I could go on and on and on, but I don't need to. I'd just be preaching to my friends who already know all this and are not willing to put a HUMAN BEING on a pedestal.

Yes he ls a liar and a thief! But on top of that, he is a whiny victim in his own mind.

To me he is exactly like Donald Trump in several ways. Being dangerous to the country is one of them.
