In reply to the discussion: David Hogg calls out Bernie [View all]Exotica
(1,461 posts)I posted what I did to give context to what many, in not just this thread, but other threads attempt to portray Sanders in general, (despite a D-minus NRA rating) to be a pro-gun fanatic because he got any money ever from the gun lobby. This is attempted to be done by selectively singling out people some have a grudge with, and use divisive posturing to try and win internet chatboard points.
Bernie most definitely voted wrongly on that bill. I have no quarrel with saying that. I do not want him to even run. Hogg's OWN Senator, Bill Nelson did as well, and was not named, but to point that out is, according to you, diversionary, as it doesn't splice well into the narrative, a narrative that takes legit points and uses them in such fashion and manner as to churn up divisiveness and mistrust internally within our party (as the vast majority of Sanders voter and current supporters are still Democrats).
