So come on down off that horse.

And everyone saw what you did there with the allegations.

You have no issue with her being threatened to be fired because she had surgery? sheshe2 Jul 2020 #14
Why do you believe this divisive, and unnecessary gratuitous, hit piece on Bernie? JoeOtterbein Jul 2020 #16
It's an objective report by NBC News. How is it a "gratuitous hit piece"? George II Jul 2020 #23
Why not wait until you hear from the union? JoeOtterbein Jul 2020 #29
It's a report on the actual lawsuit. Period. And "universal healthcare" has nothing to do with it. George II Jul 2020 #41
Or just a plain old hit job you felt a need to post. JoeOtterbein Jul 2020 #43
Please explain what part of the so-called "hit-job" is untrue... NurseJackie Jul 2020 #70

The question is 'why' is there a hit piece on a former candidate? peggysue2 Jul 2020 #65

Another question is what specially leads you to allege the OP is a hit peice? LanternWaste Jul 2020 #98
You are correct, of course. And... NurseJackie Jul 2020 #101

So if anyone has anything to say about Sanders but praise, Biden isn't "our" candidate? ehrnst Jul 2020 #167
So if universal health care is a winning issue why isn't Bernie the Democratic party nominee? TexasTowelie Jul 2020 #61
