In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders remains one of Americas most popular politicians [View all]synergie
(1,901 posts)working class, Bernie and his campaign and his followers were not so kind to the working class as a whole, since only segment is of interest to them. And it's nice of you to speak for us Michiganders, while ignoring the fact that many of us told you we voted strategically against the Orange idiot, since we knew what a nightmare he was. He did nothing at all about voter suppression and didn't do a thing to address Crosscheck or even mention the sheer number of votes not counted here, since it was in counties he lost, and full of the working class he seems to resent. I chose to listen, but didn't hear much from him, did he even make it to Flint? Guess I missed when he told his followers to VOTE DEMOCRATIC on election day, since that was kind of important to actually do something about all those things you listed off.
Yeah, the sameness BS is why MI went to Trump, he echoed that nonsense, and people stayed home or wasted their ballots, delivering the state to Trump on a ridiculously slim margin. Tell us why he couldn't convince his people to actually vote for the only candidate that had a prayer of delivering those things he said were important.
Antics on election day, I'm sorry if you failed to pay any attention at all to facts, and blind yourself to things you don't like.
As someone who was there during the recount, who saw the ballots in question, I suggest you stop with the fake news nonsense, and open up your ears to what happened on the ground and in reality. You seem to prefer the fake news and RW talking points to actual evidence of what happened.
Greg Palast was on the ground in Wayne County, do your homework and learn some things about what happened in MI. I can attest to his actually being there in person, and being on the mark with regard to vote suppression, and the antics I mentioned. It's not "fake" just because you don't like it, stop aping the RW with that nonsense and stop using their catch phrases.
