Lawrence O’Donnell reports tonight that David Plouffe has tweeted that Sanders is a “fraud” for continuing his campaign.
Sigh.
Not only is that a bullshit charge against Sanders, but we know that Clinton kept going and collecting donations well after her expiration date in 2008.
Clinton went all the way to the convention floor with her bid for dramatic effect and to coalesce her power at the time.
We are two thirds through this race and she is winning, but instead of praising her accomplishments her supporters continue to attack Sanders in extremely nefarious terms.
What do these political pros think they are doing? Do they even understand the debate? Do they think that the debate is with independents and have calculated that they are not important in November?
Do they believe that young voters are irrelevant? They clearly think that I am an idiot 20 year old who is unimportant even though I’ve got 30 years on top of that and was one of the fools who voted for Democrats my whole life up and down the ticket even though the party thought I was an idiot whose vote they could take for granted.
Sigh. Maybe I should rethink being a patsy in this game. If my ideas are aligned with Sanders and I would like to fund having those ideas makes me an enemy of the party and Sanders a “fraud”, I really have to step back and reconsider my loyalty to the party because I really do not think that free college is evil and I do not believe that it is going to break the piggy bank.
why do you hate free college?
WHY DO YOU HATE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY?
WHY DO YOU HATE GOVERNMENT FOR THE PEOPLE?
WHY DO YOU HATE ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE?
WHO SAYS ANY OF THAT IS “FREE STUFF”?
CONGRESS SHOULD BE DOING MORE THAN NAMING POST OFFICES AND APPROVING MILITARY BUDGETS TO BLOW PEOPLE AND STUFF UP OVERSEAS “FOR FREE”.
