In reply to the discussion: Sanders, Clinton to meet Tuesday [View all]BlueCaliDem
(15,438 posts)29. No, it wasn't. It was hypocritical.
How does using one's OWN WORDS and RECORD make HIM the dehumanizer???
Neither Hillary Clinton's campaign nor her any of her surrogates did that to him, and it's an incontrovertible fact, Plucketeer, there's a vast treasure trove of scandal in Sanders' background to have crushed him and his reputation during the primaries. She never stooped that low, and she could've. Easily.
Sanders, on the other hand, was helping the other side with his misinformed attacks on the DNC, the Democratic Party, long-established Democrats, President Obama, and the Clintons.
You won't ever admit it publicly, but I'm certain you know - privately - that Sanders was treated with kid-gloves by the media, the GOP, the Republicans, the Teapublicans, and almost all Democrats. Yet despite that advantage, he still lost - badly. Fortunately, the majority of Americans saw through his faux-revolution and weren't buying.
