In reply to the discussion: Sanders' 2020 Ambitions May Be On Shaky Ground Amid Allegations [View all]angrychair
(8,690 posts)13. Not a defense
Its to see if all those making innuendos and backhanded remarks hold everyone to the same standards.
Sorry to be that person Sid but the hate for Sanders by some here is very well documented. Sanders has been accused of everything from misogyny to being anti-Semitic (despite him being Jewish). There were literally an OP with links to neo-nazi sites about Sanders during the primaries.
To be clear, again, I do not want him to run for President ever again and I happily campaigned and voted for Clinton in 2016.
My point was everyone makes mistakes and we need to get off this stuff and move on from 2016 and focus on the very real problem in from of us.
