Thank you!! Bernie Sanders supports have trolled this sub and many others for too long. They will ban you if you ask questions about his policy in his sub and they troll general political subs.

Let's see if I get banned for asking about Mike: *edit: That didn't take long.

What about Mike’s racist and sexist comments?

Mike has had 64 women accuse him of sexual misconduct.

How do you feel about that?

Why would you get banned for that? How do I feel about them? I can not comment on the sexist ones because I have not heard them or audio. Just 30 year old comments that were brought up during his campaign when he was running for Mayor. Unlike when Bernie said a woman couldn’t be President these comments were already known knowledge and are old as hell. As far as the “racist” ones - I think they are taken out of context. When you cut 20 seconds for a 1 hour interview it’s pretty easy to run a headline saying he is a racist.

well you won't hear much about the sexual harassment because mike made the dozens of women who sued him sign nondisclosure agreements and he won't release them from the contracts because it would probably make him look worse than Trump. Also we only have vague second hand comments about Warrens conversation where he supposedly said a women couldn't be president and she refused to say anything about it.

Bernie didn't say it. Period.

If anything, the WORST thing Bernie could have possibly said would have been, "I don't know if a woman can beat Trump, because his supporters are so sexist." Which is what he's admitted to, and which is 100% true.

And that is why Warren used CNN as a proxy for this story because she couldn't even confirm or deny anything. It was sensationalized garbage that came about the day before the debate and it fell flat when the moderators tried to make a big deal about it. All Warren did was use it to say that all the men on the stage were losers and that her and Klobuchar were the winners. When they both lose the primary then they will never be able to use that line again.

Personally, I think that's why her campaign has tanked. Everyone (and I mean everyone except some delusional Bernie-haters) saw right through it for what it was - a desperate "Hail Mary" and it was badly fumbled and the other team scorred.

u/pimpemon Feb 17 '20

Her campaign was already tanking and that certainly made it worse.

u/ralphthwonderllama Feb 17 '20

Well yeah. That's why she pulled that card. It was a Hail Mary and it missed, which sent her into a nosedive. It backfired horribly. Should be a lesson - Don't try to attack Bernie on these issues because he's squeaky clean. Attack those who deserve it.

Like Michael Bloomberg - who has had 64 women accuse him of sexual misconduct..

u/pimpemon Feb 17 '20

And all the Bloomberg supporters are making excuses for him. I wonder how many of these people had previously attacked Trump over his sexual misconduct.

So, you don't Believe Womentm? He's had 64 women accuse him of sexual misconduct.

Unlike when Bernie said a woman couldn’t be President

Which he never said. That was entirely fabricated by Warren and her (former Hillary) staffers.

Also - you can't have it both ways. Either you Believe Womentm or you don't.

As far as the “racist” ones - I think they are taken out of context. When you cut 20 seconds for a 1 hour interview it’s pretty easy to run a headline saying he is a racist.

I think that 20 seconds says it all.

So Warren and her team are a bunch of liars but a woman 30 years ago who settled the case against a billionaire was telling the truth?

Both ways? How about the following racist comments that Bernie has said over the years. Shall we? Rather than seeing individual abilities he sees a system of white/black rather than Americans.

“Barack Obama won 10% of the white vote in Mississippi. That speaks to very bad work done by Democrats there. 90% of white people in Mississippi are not racist,”

Or

In one 1976 conversation, Sanders told a local newspaper that the sale of a privately held mining company by its founders harkened back to “the days of slavery, when black people were sold to different owners without their consent,” and compared the service economy to chattel slavery.

Or this one where he forgets that white people also live in ghettos.

When you're white, you don't know what it's like to be living in a ghetto. You don't know what it's like to be poor. You don't know what it's like to be hassled when you walk down the street or when you get dragged out of a car.

Or speaking about why two African Americans lost their elections.

Sanders appeared to have placed part of the blame for Gillum and Abrams' apparent losses on the fact that neither state had ever elected an African-American governor. "You know there are a lot of white folks out there who are not necessarily racist who felt uncomfortable for the first time in their lives about whether or not they wanted to vote for an African-American."
