61. You're not worth responding to, but I'm sure you're a "last worder," so have at it.

Can we at least learn basic math? Soledad O'Brien tweet about Sanders was deleted because of this [View all] Exotica Jun 2018 OP

Quit mathin' me. Just tell me the damn answer ProudLib72 Jun 2018 #1

it's in his tax returns, so who knows Exotica Jun 2018 #6

:) You're very right. But Sanders himself used phony Hortensis Jun 2018 #14

+1. The devil is in the details every time. ucrdem Jun 2018 #64

Her point is still valid. Hoyt Jun 2018 #2

yes to a point, but a huge blunder like that doesn't help make the case, and makes it ripe for Exotica Jun 2018 #5

She doesn't need to "make the case." Bernie Sanders said something really stupid that demonstrated EffieBlack Jun 2018 #38

Soledad's blunder isnt helping keep Bernies feet to the fire Exotica Jun 2018 #41

No, it's NOT on her. She's a journalist who sent out a tweet. That has NOTHING to do with what EffieBlack Jun 2018 #42

You miss the forest for the trees. O'Brien's clumsy attack on a legit Exotica Jun 2018 #43

Actually YOU'RE missing the forest for the trees EffieBlack Jun 2018 #44

Methinks you doth protest too much. But we will just have to agree Exotica Jun 2018 #46

Not really. Not when she's literally saying there are 10 X more Black people in jail in Vermont pnwmom Jun 2018 #11

Her point is Vermont is a very white state -- which it is -- with a high proportion of incarcerated Hoyt Jun 2018 #17

That's not what her TWEET said. And my point is Math Matters. pnwmom Jun 2018 #18

Thank you! Exotica Jun 2018 #48

Her math was not "a bit wrong". It was off by more than 20 thousand percent. Tom Rinaldo Jun 2018 #21

Then leave it at: "Black people are treated very differently than white people in Vermont." Hoyt Jun 2018 #23

That is a fair (and important) statement. Though it isn't only true for Vermont. n/t Tom Rinaldo Jun 2018 #26

No it really isn't mythology Jun 2018 #20

Her point was -- "Black people are treated very differently than white people in Vermont." Hoyt Jun 2018 #24

Thanks. elleng Jun 2018 #3

Well, to be fair, how many of the 1700-ish are actually walking down the street at any given moment? mr_lebowski Jun 2018 #4

So, try to DO SOMETHING BOUT IT THEN, Bernie ... now that you finally know and all mr_lebowski Jun 2018 #7

But but but... CentralMass Jun 2018 #8

What's laughable is that tweet was held up as a "schooling" LOL Hassin Bin Sober Jun 2018 #9

What's tragic is that you consider the underlying message trivial enough to be laughable. Squinch Jun 2018 #60

I'm pretty god damn sure Bernie was being sarcastic. phleshdef Jun 2018 #10

Because of all those civil rights bona fides he earned at that sit-in fifty years ago? Squinch Jun 2018 #27

No, because its painfully fucking obvious to anyone with an average or better IQ. phleshdef Jun 2018 #32

Nope. He wasnt being sarcastic. Squinch Jun 2018 #33

Post removed Post removed Jun 2018 #35

This is sarcasm? EffieBlack Jun 2018 #39

It absolutely is not. And if you can't argue without ad homimem Squinch Jun 2018 #54

Narrator: He wasn't. WhiskeyGrinder Jun 2018 #34

Yes and Bri schooled Soledad on Twitter over her tweet kamalafan Jun 2018 #12

So basically this is saying there is a disparity in which 10x as many blacks as whites by Squinch Jun 2018 #31

Briahna Gray is a fucking moron. OilemFirchen Jun 2018 #58

Thank you. I posted this yesterday: spooky3 Jun 2018 #13

your reply was one of a couple that inspired me to post this OP Exotica Jun 2018 #15

Thanks! spooky3 Jun 2018 #30

I don't know much about the numbers, but I'm in Vermont on an almost daily basis. Vinca Jun 2018 #16

People from cities traffic drugs and many of them are white. So WTF? Squinch Jun 2018 #28

Your twisting my post, but whatever . . . Vinca Jun 2018 #36

No, really I'm not. Squinch Jun 2018 #55

Apparently you want a long list of every person I know who is not white, plus a tally of all Vinca Jun 2018 #56

You're the one who needed to give the tally of those two black people you know slightly or know of. Squinch Jun 2018 #59

You're not worth responding to, but I'm sure you're a "last worder," so have at it. Vinca Jun 2018 #61

I appreciate your sense of fairness and the importance of reliable informaton Tom Rinaldo Jun 2018 #19

Ditto mountain grammy Jun 2018 #63

Semantics, wrong about Vermont right about Sanders obtuseness regarding minority jailing .... uponit7771 Jun 2018 #22

Exactly. Hoyt Jun 2018 #25

if every other senator is so familiar, that is not exactly a badge of honor, JCanete Jun 2018 #52

Exactly EffieBlack Jun 2018 #57

Yes, but pouncing on technical errors like that that don't actually change the argument is silly kcr Jun 2018 #29

It's deflection EffieBlack Jun 2018 #40

Nice try at deflection. But it doesn't matter that Soledad misquoted a response to Bernie's quote. EffieBlack Jun 2018 #37

I was NOT whinging on about anything. I was pointing out a Exotica Jun 2018 #45

How is Soledad's tweet a "self-inflicted wound to people who are legitimately questioning Sanders?" EffieBlack Jun 2018 #47

Simple as Simon Exotica Jun 2018 #49

Bernie supporters using something one person - who has absolutely no connection to people trying to EffieBlack Jun 2018 #51

At this point I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish with me Exotica Jun 2018 #53

I think her point is pretty clear. nt ucrdem Jun 2018 #62
