''Every seat in the theater in LA filled up so Bernie went outside to talk to the people ... ''

566. You keep saying that one needs to be in Vermont to have any sort of

right to discuss Vermont.

However... you are happy to defend the soliticiation of donations of of those not living in Vermont to support his campaign.

The link is about a Democratic candidate that tried to run against Bernie in the primary, and I believe she is the last one that attempted it. The fact that the last one was in 1990 I think shows just how effective using the Democratic establishment to eliminate any other official primary candidates has been for him. I just find that ironic in 2018.

And we have Hillary Whataboutism for the win! The last vestige of a losing argument concerning Sanders - and not even an accurate one! I never said a word about Hillary's fundraising - let alone against raising it from PACs. I was talking about Bernie Sanders directly soliciting donations from Pennsylvania, from Democrats that never signed up for his mailing list, but have been getting emails from Sanders since December of 2015. Just imagine the hue and cry if people here on DU who had never signed up for Onward Together started getting fundraising emails...

And to answer your question, no, I don't think it's wrong for Bernie to solicit money from any legal sources or for Hillary to do the same, despite your strawman. I was pointing out that YOU change your tune on "people who have never set foot in Vermont should not be involved - even posting on DU - when I point out that Bernie is more than happy for out of state financial involvement.

But do go on about "taking back congress," and trying to imply that I am the one being inconsistent here.

Anything to deflect from directly addressing the elephant in the room.
