Is This Article On Bernie Sanders For Real? Where Did This Thinking Come From?

This story is absolutely not the Bernie Sanders that I know. Is this a real article?

1. It's more of an opinion piece than an article.

With much of the same invented "concerns" we see here.

The "Bernie Hates Black People" scram was supposed to end his campaign weeks ago, and it failed. With no Plan B, the only option is to try to wring everything they can squeeze out of this, however trivial, and inflate it into a hopeful smear. So far, it doesn't seem to be working.

2. It's a hit piece using partial quotes written by a supporter of one of Sanders' opponents.

3. It's true.

Bernie denied apologizing, but it's because he truly doesn't see the need to apologize.

And why should he?

1. He let them take the stage the two times they interrupted him. He never shouted over them or denied them their voice.

2. He's reached out to them and successfully made solutions together with them already.

3. He's continuing to work with them in his campaign.

So ask yourself this... Why apologize to someone you did no wrong to and are now becoming a teammate with?

It's time to work together, and that's what Bernie is doing.

In my perspective, it seems like this is the Bernie I know.

4. What I really meant was that there is nothing fake about Bernie Sanders in wanting all of us working

together. Enough is enough! Bernie and we realize that Black people have had way more hate and inequality than many other Americans. Bernie has worked for Civil Rights for many many years.

5. Staff over at DK is mostly pro-Hillary.

It's a made up scandal. One of Bernie's staff apologized to some protesters, Chuck tried to make it into an apology from Sanders to make him appear 'weak', Sanders said it wasn't his apology. It wasn't a 'fake' apology from Sanders, because it was never his apology in the first place.

6. Hit piece. Shrug it off.

The pathetic attempts to swift boat the people's candidate are failing. They will intensify but it won't matter. I believe it is too late for them. Bernie is winning. His message is getting out and people like what they hear. Someone in another thread says he offers no solutions. They aren't listening. The first solution is to shed light on every injustice which he is doing. The second solution is to get the nations priorities in order. People say he will be a big spender. Well the nation is already a big spender. Why not spend the money properly - on the people?

If a socialist society means caring about the children, the poor, the sick, the veterans and the elderly than I am proud to be called that.

Invest in rebuilding roads, clean energy, schools, healthcare for all and less on the military industrial complex. Less on jails. Less on wars. Less on tax breaks to the 1%. Less on the big energy polluters.

I hear many solutions in Bernie's message and it starts with changing the conversation from the objectivism and selfish-ism of the right into One Nation, indivisible. Together. United we stand.
