Related: About this forum"Bernie is an advocate of trickle-down economics"
Has there been a stupider, more ignorant and blatantly false idea spread from the Clinton camp?
I can't think of one...
And I still remember exactly who started that one. She got to work early on that and the racism meme.

(14,570 posts)Take the strength and make it seem a weakness - first the false meme that Bernie has some sort of 'problem' with race. And, now that isn't working, this new one - that he advocates trickle-down economics!
Are these people serious???
I mean, that's just SUCH a lie!
Like, a pants on fire kind of lie.

Don't know who it could be, but isn't Durham in NC?

(12,530 posts)We have a good community of liberal posters here. There are so many other websites out there, you never know what kind of substandard knuckle draggers will come out of the woodwork at other websites. So while I don't know what site you're referring to, the quote you posted makes me think it's just some low information dumb shit. The world is full of them.

(3,675 posts)would solve everything and he put economic issues above all else and everything else was trickle down for him , like trickle down social justice for women, african americans, and gays. or something like that. It was often incoherant word salad most of the time that she posted. We might not be talking about the same person but that is what popped into my head when you mentioned trickledown and Bernie. This person claims not to be a Clinton supporter though she trashes Bernie in every post!

Where Hillary stands on immigration I don't know, but supposedly it is SHE who holds Bernie's views on immigration while he doesn't!

(30,481 posts)It is extremely well known. Fighting against a path to citizenship is considered to be one of his greatest legislative accomplishments. Sanders was extremely clear that it was a visa issue that stood between him and human rights for over ten million people. That was his decision. Today over ten million people would be living out of the shadows. This is factual and understood by those being honest. Maybe you aren't aware because it is only being discussed on Univision right now. At some point on the campaign trail, Sanders is going to have to explain how he put economic protection ahead of human rights. It's not made up as you are attempting to say. When we have as many facts as we do, including Sanders own statements, dismissal can't cover it up.

(30,481 posts)What is your point here? Someone said something stupid on the Internet? I guess it looked appealing to you.

(29,257 posts)Cause I thought maybe you didn't...
But I never said Hillary beat someone up... you mean like you think I literally said that Hillary committed violence herself on an old man?
That's a pretty crazy delusion you have if you think I said that.
