81. Sanders should be yesterday's news at DU.

Wed Sep 5, 2018, 01:46 AM

Sep 2018

I wish that some folks would stop the near daily drum beat that makes Sanders so divisive. Personally I would never want the opportunity to vote for Sanders again unless I was to move to Vermont (which is not going to happen).

Note my comment was nothing about Sanders but how the OP offered a google search that was biased as evidence. I get that Sanders annoys some. I agree that a 3rd party taking credit for an election success that is a Democratic Party success is annoying.

My entire point in this exchange was that the OP offered as evidence a google search that was biased. If one searches for Gillum Sanders in FLA on gets Gillum Sanders articles but if one searches for Gillum without the Sanders search term, headlines (and articles) with Sanders and Gillum are rare to nonexistent. Just look at the searches I posted.
