Bernie Sanders Two Opposing Messages On Biden

[SunsetDreams2]

Which is it Bernie?

"In order to beat Trump, we are going to need the largest voter turnout in the history of this country," said Sanders, I-Vt., on ABC's "This Week" Sunday. "And I don't think you can do that unless you have a message that appeals to the working class and the middle class in this country, who have been ignored too long by the political establishment, of which Joe Biden is part of."

Or maybe we should believe what you said about him the last time you ran for President

“Joe Biden is a man who has devoted his entire life to public service and to the well being of working families and the middle class “

1. I don't think those two messages are completely inconsistent

Of course Bernie's going to have a sharper critique of Biden when they are running against each other than in 2015 when Biden said he wasn't running. But to this day, he still expresses respect for Biden and says that he's a good man. He says the Obama administration did a lot to improve this country but didn't go far enough in helping working people.

2. "Bernie Sanders argues Joe Biden and 'establishment' ignored working- and middle-class voters"

That's not respect.

3. In 2016 he said that Biden worked his whole life

To improve the lives of working class folks. That the administration was responsible for significant progress. No to mention that they got elected in the worst economic circumstances.

Those two messages are completely inconsistent.

4. They are inconsistent

In the video Bernie Says

“Joe Biden is a man who has devoted his entire life to public service and to the well being of working families and the middle class “

5. Joe's a good man...

who has been for the working class as far as he could go with the establishment, but that has not been far enough.
Now, SunsetDreams2, will you vote for Sanders if he gets the nomination? If so, stop putting him down.

7. Sanders clearly showed he can win the AA vote...very important. Thus he will not be our nominee.
