Oh nose, not criticism! this won't end well.

The Biden bros are 10× worse here.

Different sites, different rules.

As opposed to Cheeto, whose Latin America policy of late is basically limited to ingratiating himself to Brazil's Bolsonazi.

"In 2007, Sen. Bernie Sanders was working overtime to kill Ted Kennedy’s immigration reform bill. As part of his effort, he appeared on then-CNN host Lou Dobbs’ program for an interview.

Appearing above a graphic reading “FIGHTING AMNESTY,” Sen. Sanders tells Dobbs that pro-reform Senators are “selling out American workers. In fact, they are selling out our entire country.”

...because he did say the same thing.

Horseshoe theory anyone?

...I would be very careful of using the term "worse than Trump" on anything.

Senator Sanders is a fool, and would be a total disaster for the environment at precisely the time it is collapsing, but I very much doubt that he is "worse than Trump" on anything.

Again, I have no use for Sanders, but if he is ignorant, he is not more ignorant than Trump, if he is dogmatic and simplistic, he is not more so than Trump.

If forced to do so, I would vote for Senator Sanders since there is clearly a case of "lesser than two evils."

Since Trump is the most evil, ignorant, sexist and racist (at least post-slavery) President in US history, the use of "worse than Trump" in any context is not really a worthy attack.

but he would never get elected.

...than Trump has been threatening trade wars with Mexico and China, yet Bernie Sanders is the only candidate that has bragged about going even further than Trump with respect to protectionism. Of course, he has not been specific, just saying that he would be more "rational."

Put another way, has there ever been any trade deal that Bernie supported? The answer is no. Bernie has always postured on the issue of trade and scapegoated immigration and trade as a cause of the problems faced by American workers. He has painted himself into a corner on the issue.

...their parents, the parents being isolated themselves on grounds that are purely racist.

There are, I think, a hell of a lot of things more important than trade deals.

Children in cages, for me, would be one of those.

Senator Sanders is a fool; and he is far more ignorant than any other mainstream candidate, but he is not a Nazi.

OK?

...that has overwhelming bipartisan support. Trump has flirted with shutting down the U.S. Mexico border, yet even he has indicated that he would support the trade agreement. With Bernie, part of his brand it to oppose trade agreements. It is pure isolationism.

You focus on the Trump's cruelty, which is indeed a difference. But in terms of pure ideological opposition to any type of trade agreement, Bernie goes even further than Trump.

...would be to stop calling him by his familiar first name.

The frequency by which one calls former VP Biden, "Joey," or Mr. Yang "Andy" is far lower than the rote evocation of Senator Sanders as "Bernie." The familiarity is suggestive of someone who is your friend, someone you'd invite into your home.

Now, I would vote for Senator Sanders were he the nominee, which I really hope won't happen, but if forced to do so, I would do it weeping for my country and for the planet. I certainly would not invite Senator Sanders into my home; I wouldn't have a beer with him; I would simply, as I am doing now, hope for better times.

You're offended by Senator Sanders' views on trade and I'm offended by his climate rhetoric, which we go further toward killing the planet and will do so faster than is currently underway, and what is underway is an all time record for the destruction of the planetary atmosphere.

But for me, he's not "worse than Trump" on the issue most important to me, climate change. He is not more uneducated than Trump.

I fully concede that Senator Sanders views on trade are repulsive, or would be so in normal times. But again, I very much doubt that his views on trade with Mexico would extend to putting people in cages, children in fact. These are not normal times.

Senator Sanders may be childish in his economic views, but cannot be more childish than Trump. Senator Sanders may have contempt for the poor in the third world that we find repulsive, but it is not more repulsive than Trump's views, particularly since Trump's views are based almost entirely on virulent racism, where Sanders views are just based on simplistic thinking and ignorance.

There is a difference, I think.

If you cannot abide my remarks, let's just agree to disagree.

As a Floridian, I need to explain an important bloc to my fellow DUers, South Florida's right-leaning international voters. A large swath of them are expatriates from failed states, such as Argentina and Cuba and know far less than they claim.

Oppenheimer's position that NAFTA2.0 will reduce job losses for the American economy is a total non sequitur when we take into account the simple fact that this revised trade agreement includes only modest changes.

Sanders', Harris', Booker's and Schumer's opposition on climate grounds are further proof.

and it's nothing new. It's not the rabid version of RW populist movements, also of course, definitely a nationalist-lite version in comparison.

a rough ride in his presidency, should he make it through the general election.

Is this a “kneecap” on Bernie by a major newspaper and is it recent?




Seriously. It’s high time to OUT bernie. He is not the right person to represent the Democrats.

shoring up Mexico and other southern countries. It will be good for both of us. This "Economic Patriotism" -- as Warren euphemistically calls it -- is nothing but America First and Nationalism.
