Pathetic.

1. Is THIS really how some of Bernie's supporters/advisors think they will attract new support???

REALLY?

4. It would seem to be that way. nt

[Mz Pip]

27. Isn't working for me.

I’m still undecided, but Bernie’s alliance with the HRC haters is a big turn off for me. He should be working on expanding his support, not shrinking it.

3. We don't need Michael Moore any more.

He was once a useful gadfly. Now he's just a pompous oaf who thinks he's a revolutionary.

[dware]

8. He really is pathetic, isn't he. nt

[lapfog_1]

80. his net worth is $50 Million

which makes his "fucking billionaire" rant about Bloomberg just ludicrous.

Once you get to 10s of millions... you are in the same class as billionaires.

[northoftheborder]

5. Bad behavior.

[ismnotwasm]

6. After she apologized and everything

[lapucelle]

9. She didn't apologize. N/T

[ismnotwasm]

42. Yeah, it was like a statement retraction

Can’t get the image out of my head of three women, powerful women, thinking it’s ok to go middle school on Hillary

[lapucelle]

43. It was a failed attempt at a justification.

"I'm just so in love with the movement"...

[dware]

10. Which, in reality, wasn't an apology at all.

She blamed HRC for her comments, hell, she wouldn't have "apologized" at all if she hadn't received such a massive backlash about her comments.

[DarthDem]

7. Ugh

Please don't wear Hawkeye hats, Mr. Moore. You're disgracing one of my favorite teams.

And it's funny how no Sanders rally seems to be complete without some sort of divisive event. Almost always attacking Democrats.

[UniteFightBack]

11. At this point he is intolerable. I heard him yelling this afternoon and switched immediately. I

will no longer listen to a word he has to say about anything. Good job Michael.

[DanTex]

12. That's going a bit far by Michael Moore. Tlaib's apology was the right move.

Hillary obviously shouldn't be leveling schoolyard insults like "nobody likes him" at one of the most popular candidates in the field. But booing like that isn't the best way to respond, even to an unprovoked attack.

Still think Moore is great, but I gotta disagree here.

[Bananaluver]

15. There was no apology. HRC was stating facts that will affect 2020 Democratic primary.

[DanTex]

17. Well, most people would consider "nobody likes him" to be an attack.

I'm sure if someone said nobody likes Biden or nobody likes Pete or whatever, the supporters of those candidates would take it as an attack.

[Bananaluver]

20. Sanders made a video saying the same about himself with absolutely no apology. That is who he is.

He is campaigning on that.

[DanTex]

25. LOL. I think you're misinterpreting that...

[Bananaluver]

26. Ah yes. And Tlaib saying anyone not supporting Sanders or challenges Sanders are haters.

We are not even having that conversation. Stating the Democratic base are haters because we do not want Independent Sanders to represent our party. Is that a good look for Sanders running in our primary?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

62. Of course they would take it as an attack, cuz it WAS an attack... it's just plain common sense!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[Cha]

72. FULL CONTEXT.. He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him

He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287463375

BS on his reasons he's not liked..

"Some people say I'm very hard to work with. They say I can be a real son of a bitch. They say I can be nasty, I don't know how to get along with people. Well, maybe there's some truth to it."

"I'm not good at backslapping. I'm not good at pleasantries. If you have your birthday I'm not going to call you up to congratulate you."

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rubycramer/you-dont-know-bernie-sanders

[Hav]

19. "Nobody likes him" was in regards to his peers in Congress

so that has nothing to do with support of voters. It wasn't an insult. It was an explanation why career politician Sanders couldn't get anything done.

[DanTex]

21. "Nobody likes him", as everyone who's been to school knows, is a schoolyard insult.

HRC should stay away from schoolyard insults. His peers in congress have said they don't like Bernie, so it's also an absurd statement.

[Bananaluver]

23. Sanders is running a campaign of extreme plans and stating it will happen with a grass root rise

forcing Republicans and Democrats alike to vote on his policies. It matters. Part of the primary race. A conversation that should be had since it is the bases of what Sanders is running on.

[DanTex]

29. That has nothing to do with the childish "nobody likes him" insult.

If people want to challenge Bernie's plans, that's fine. That's not what that was.

Of course, it's hard to challenge Bernie on policy because his policies are appealing to the Democratic electorate. That's why his opponents try to dig up grainy videos from 50 years ago, or make personal attacks, or things like that, instead of talking about issues. You think Biden wants to be talking about, say, Social Security versus Bernie?

[Bananaluver]

31. It is exactly what it has to do with. The words are there, lol. Seriously?

Nobody but one in the senate had anything to do with Sanders in any regards. Sanders states that is his prickly personality. He doesn't say happy birthday. HRC made a statement of fact that Sanders himself supports.

It matters in 2020 especially seeing that Sanders whole campaign promises is rallying the nation to force elected people to support him.

[DanTex]

32. LOL. No, the words are not there. Seriously?

Can't believe you're actually defending "nobody likes him". You don't have to you know, you can just admit that was a mistake by HRC. People make mistakes...

[Bananaluver]

33. We disagree.

[Hav]

28. I was just correcting your misrepresentation/ignorance of what Hillary said

and I've seen the same ignorance regarding her comments in other threads.

Sanders' inability to work together with the other Senators is relevant. Adding to that, how does he think he can get anything done as President when a major part of his campaign relies on attacking and demonizing the Democratic party.

[DanTex]

30. It's not a misrepresentation, it's a direct quote. "Nobody likes him."

Yes, she really said that.

[Hav]

34. Yes, she said that about his peers in Congress

not like you suggested that she meant nobody in general liked him by pointing out his popularity.
But I'd agree she could have chosen more diplomatic words.

[Cha]

57. Congratulatons! you're Taking IT Completely OUT of CONTEXT..

59. Y'know, Cha, what got to me most, about that part of the NYT endorsement interview where Sanders

Last edited Sat Feb 1, 2020, 09:46 PM - Edit history (1)

admits he can be a jerk, is that he sounded so damned PROUD of being a jerk.

We currently have a jerk in the White House. I'd really like a change from that.

And Biden, thank God, couldn't be farther from being a jerk.



Editing to note that the second quote you have from Sanders there is the one from the NYT interview he did recently.

Link to tweet

The first quote there is from a BuzzFeed article published several weeks ago, and quoting a book by a Sanders press secretary who worked for him in 1990:

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rubycramer/you-dont-know-bernie-sanders

He can be harsh with staff — short-tempered and demanding and sometimes rude. “Some people say I am very hard to work with. They say I can be a real son of a bitch. They say I can be nasty, I don't know how to get along with people,” Bernie told his press secretary in 1990, according to a memoir by the former staffer. “Well, maybe there's some truth to it.”

[Cha]

61. Exactly.. BS admits that he's Not well liked. So what does Tlaid

do? She Boos Hillary for something that BS said himself.. and then she comes up with this "apology" that is Not an apology to Hillary.. it only disses her more.

Tlaib needs to try harder.

[Cha]

71. Get up to speed dantex.. BS says why he's "Not Liked" ..

and Hillary's full quote which you go around Ignoring..

Go away, MM.

40. Bernie:

"Some people say I'm very hard to work with. They say I can be a real son of a bitch. They say I can be nasty, I don't know how to get along with people. Well, maybe there's some truth to it."

"I'm not good at backslapping. I'm not good at pleasantries. If you have your birthday I'm not going to call you up to congratulate you."

EVERYBODY KNOWS, EVEN BERNIE, THAT NOBODY LIKES HIM AT WORK.

52. Thank you for the BS quote on why "nobody likes him"..

Hillary's quote..

fuel to fire.

[jcmaine72]

41. Oh well. I guess nothing lasts forever.

There was a time when Michael Moore was universally admired by most registered Democrats for his tough, honest, principle-based social criticisms. He's now the devil incarnate in the eyes of some for being consistent with his principles.

Silly Him. I guess he didn't get the memo. Doesn't he know that's why On/Off switches were invented?

[Amimnoch]

44. Maybe math helps.

The words and actions of this

So yeah, pretty much anyone who contributed to that final missing result has, through their own words and actions, have very significantly damaged their reputations with a large number of Democratic Party supporters that are REALLY pissed off at those results.

[onecaliberal]

45. What the fuck

[marble falls]

46. Cuz nothing will straighten whatever it is that Moore thinks is wrong with the Democratic party ...

like four to eight more years of what ever "reasonable seeming" Republican national government would. Sometimes Moore needs to better consider his words.

The this free program and that and caring for people is a façade. The real agenda is to destroy the Democratic party.

56. Michael Moore is a worthless piece of shit. A sanctimonious blob and waste of human flesh.

The only thing he cares about is himself. He hates the Democratic party as much as his favorite candidate does. He brings nothing to the table except bitterness and resentment and perpetual whining about being unfairly victimized. What a baby! I've never seen so much whining coming from the piehole of a grown man. Fuck that Nader loving/voting and Stein loving/voting POS. I'll never forget (nor forgive) his claim that a vote for Gore was a vote for Bush and that "both parties are the same".

Hey, Michael Moore...

Last edited Sun Feb 2, 2020, 08:30 PM - Edit history (1)

wars and death and scare the hell out of people,* predict that Trump will win, then turn around a few weeks before the election and tell everybody to vote for the Democratic nominee even if it's the lesser of two evils. Too late.

*Trusting that nobody bothers looking at the party platform because then they would know the actual fucking policies and goals of THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY. Ignorance is essential. There are plenty of people who don't know our nominee in 2016 ran on the ACA with a public option and Medicare at 55. People like MM want them to foam at the mouth and fill with hate when he tells them Democrats are bribed by insurance companies and think universal health care is a radical idea and would't give a shit if millions die... dammit.

88. I tried to watch video of him in Iowa, it was an unhinged evangelical sermon.

Embarrassing, nutty. Again we hear about Bernie "chained to two black women" and something he said in the seventies. The DNC only allowing white people in the debates. Couldn't listen to it all, the emotional desperation is too much. I really wonder what's going on with him.

[Cha]

89. omg.. I admire your

fortitude for listening to it that long.

with surrogates like moore.. who needs enemies.

[betsuni]

90. MM says that in 1972, Bernie wrote an essay on discrimination.

People hear about what Bernie did as a student and something he wrote in 1972 as evidence of consistency.

Since Hillary was booed the other day, I immediately think of what she was doing in 1972 that nobody seems to know about. As a law student she went to Texas to work for the McGovern campaign and then worked on a project exposing school segregation in the South, sent undercover to Alabama posing as a prospective parent. She has always DONE THINGS. Always voted, too. But she's getting booed and still lied about, and our next nominee will be too.

friend of Mayor Weaver. ... 'Secretary Clinton has been in touch with the mayor personally and the two staffs have been in constant contact,' Kristin Moore, the mayor's communication director told MSNBC. 'As far as I know,' she added, 'Clinton is the only presidential candidate -- Republican or Democrat -- who has reached out.'"

Hillary has spent her life trying to help people. For shame, MM.

[Hortensis]

83. Americans overwhelmingly chose HRC to be our president.

It's terribly wrong to disrespect and boo the person who should be our president right now and would be if this dreadful subversion of our election had not happened.

Talib's and Moore's animus is not exactly typical of those who still grieve for the loss of the President Clinton they voted for and for the vital, progressing America we could and should have right now.

[BlueMTexpat]

84. Moore and too many like him

helped cause Democrats election defeats in 2000 and 2016.

They have never learned. Apparently, they never will.

I consider them to be just as much traitors to this country as Trump supporters are.
