Well that's a start Tiggeroshii May 2019 #53

Slogans are not plans. NurseJackie May 2019 #102

Funny how you stopped "taking him at his word" when something substantial is discussed... Tiggeroshii May 2019 #105

I'd have to see something substantial first. All I hear are slogans. NurseJackie May 2019 #107

You'd have to try to find something substantial first Tiggeroshii May 2019 #127

Anyone can read things from a wish-list. I guess I just have higher standards... NurseJackie May 2019 #128

Gambatte! :) Tiggeroshii May 2019 #133

Sounds so trumpian! Just another thing trump and Sanders have in common, They need lunamagica May 2019 #89

So we simply ignore what candidate's own words & claims. Thats the same thing TRUMP people do. oldsoftie May 2019 #42

"Socialist" is short hand for democratic socialist Tiggeroshii May 2019 #51

I've watched what he's done. Nuggets May 2019 #79

That's fine. Criticize him for that. Not for what labels people choose for him. Tiggeroshii May 2019 #81

Can't do that here Nuggets May 2019 #84

Sanders also voted against Russian sanctions, didn't he? NurseJackie May 2019 #104

BS missed the last Russia sanctions vote. lapucelle May 2019 #109

Ah... unions and stuff. NurseJackie May 2019 #110

Sanders praising Fidel Castro & Ortega, declining to condemn Maduro & Chavez tell us enough. oldsoftie May 2019 #134

he is on video saying quote I am a socialist unquote nt msongs May 2019 #91

You dont believe him on most things, why suddenly do you believe him on that? Tiggeroshii May 2019 #95

Still peddling that eh? BannonsLiver May 2019 #93

You dont believe him on most things, why suddenly do you believe him on that? Tiggeroshii May 2019 #97

I'm just calling him what he calls himself. BannonsLiver May 2019 #99

So you take him at his word on that? Tiggeroshii May 2019 #100

He is a socialist, as he says. BannonsLiver May 2019 #101

Good for him! Tiggeroshii May 2019 #4

Many of the books he "sold" were purchased by his own campaign to give out free.... George II May 2019 #6

Look at the OP, $444,900 was spent by the Bernie 2016 campaign on "books" purchased from.... George II May 2019 #21

Quite Me. May 2019 #35

I'll await the response, since you have provided the requested info. oldsoftie May 2019 #43

No it's not good enough George. Click on the links for the Verso Books expenditures for his book Autumn May 2019 #58

The two transactions. They don't say when the books were delivered to the campaign. George II May 2019 #62

I know I got one in 2016 so there's that Autumn May 2019 #67

Right, that $450K was spent at the end of 2015, so there's that George II May 2019 #70

In other words, a shell game. MH1 May 2019 #63

Yes Tiggeroshii May 2019 #13

But Didn't He Me. May 2019 #18

Post 15 actually laid it out well Tiggeroshii May 2019 #20

I Saw That Me. May 2019 #23

The accusation is he became a millionaire through campaign money Tiggeroshii May 2019 #25

But if course there is a lot of wiggle when people are posting and pushing "alternative facts" Autumn May 2019 #33

Or THe Art Of The Deal Ala Traitor Trump Me. May 2019 #37

It only works that way if Bernie has mastered the art of time travel. But don't let that Autumn May 2019 #41

Blind Me? Me. May 2019 #45

Blind you??? I see the problem now, my response to you confused you. Autumn May 2019 #48

Oh Dear Oh Dear Me. May 2019 #55

Apparently so. It's an end run around the law. Senators are prohibited from receiving honoraria... George II May 2019 #57

... Tiggeroshii May 2019 #12

Got a link to that George? I got the book when I donated. I didn't buy any tickets to Autumn May 2019 #24

But you essentially "bought" the book anyway, you wouldn't have gotten it if you didn't contribute. George II May 2019 #60

Well I didn't get a private meeting and a promise to vote for legislation I was lobbying Autumn May 2019 #66

Please read the subject of the OP. George II May 2019 #68

I did. Are you naive enough to believe in time travel? Cause that's the only way the OP works Autumn May 2019 #71

Ever hear of an advance purchase? George II May 2019 #73

One last time. The book was originally published in 1997 and reprinted in 2015. Autumn May 2019 #76

That's the book that YOU received, not necessarily what the $445K was spent on. George II May 2019 #80

Guess what George? That's the book he had published by Verso Publishing, the one he gave to his Autumn May 2019 #88

Can these smears also be applied to non-votes to hold R B Garr May 2019 #74

Thanks for pointing out Nuggets May 2019 #112

The Democratic Party's infrastructure didn't write the three books that made him a millionaire. Autumn May 2019 #113

Yeah right! Autumn May 2019 #115

Yeah right. Nuggets May 2019 #116

Jim Webb. The guy who decided not to run in 2016 because he was "not comfortable" Autumn May 2019 #117

A rebuttal designed to try to take focus off these facts. Nuggets May 2019 #120

Convenient. You bring him up, I point out a fact about him and I'm taking the focus off your opinion Autumn May 2019 #122

And you purposely missed why I brought him up. Nuggets May 2019 #124

So what's not kosher, besides babylonsister May 2019 #7

He did great. Tiggeroshii May 2019 #9

What's not kosher is the book the OP is lying about Bernie making money off wasn't written Autumn May 2019 #44

Wow! babylonsister May 2019 #46

This is where the stainless steel De Lorean comes in. Uncle Joe May 2019 #118

I can just see Bernie jumping out of that. Autumn May 2019 #119

Get serious now, It's not so far fetched. Uncle Joe May 2019 #121

Well Biff fits the picture. Autumn May 2019 #123

That's what I read in some scholarly articles and at least one eye witness account Uncle Joe May 2019 #125

Essentially a money-laundering scheme to pocket campaign contributions LongtimeAZDem May 2019 #14

THat's What I'm Wondering Me. May 2019 #19

I don't think so. Seems that candidates can't get royalties from what the campaign buys. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #54

The problem you have is that the book that the campaign spent $444,937.50 on in 2015 , Autumn May 2019 #15

+1000 Tiggeroshii May 2019 #16

They are lying to smear Bernie and they know it. It's disgraceful. Autumn May 2019 #26

Agreed. These smear campaigns are uncalled for. Tiggeroshii May 2019 #27

The Bernie bashing never ends...regardless of the facts!!! InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #59

Back to the drawing board for the Bernie obsessed Hassin Bin Sober May 2019 #111

If Bernie spent $444,937.50 of his campaign dollars on his book "Our Revolution" that's a Autumn May 2019 #17

I also wonder if the "Bernie Standard" has been applied to other prior candidates who wrote books. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #61

He has every right to earn money; it's just a shame he refused to do so when his kid was on welfare LongtimeAZDem May 2019 #22

.. Tiggeroshii May 2019 #28

Sanders was too busy running as a socialst to support his family: LongtimeAZDem May 2019 #36

Shameless reaching and smearing. Tiggeroshii May 2019 #38

Neither reaching, nor smearing. He put his own aspirations above providing for his child, and LongtimeAZDem May 2019 #39

That's none of your business, is it. babylonsister May 2019 #47

Since you seem to have a singular negative focus here you have earned an ignore. CentralMass May 2019 #50

Pay no attention. Move along. Just another KPN May 2019 #56

I don't wonder anymore . When someone shows you what they are believe them. Autumn May 2019 #69

perhaps you could use that advice Skittles May 2019 #77

I'm not the one creating an OP filled with lies that Bernie scammed money in 2015 Autumn May 2019 #78

that went way over your head Skittles May 2019 #92

Oh, I don't wonder about some things ... but I can't safely say what those are here. KPN May 2019 #135

Yeah Autumn May 2019 #136

Wow, scandalous. This should be vetted. R B Garr May 2019 #75

It isnt exactly true as claimed. Tiggeroshii May 2019 #83

Reddit doesn't vet. They are not investigative journalists. R B Garr May 2019 #130

I vote for a separate anti-Bernie forum G_j May 2019 #82

There's a capital idea! nt babylonsister May 2019 #85

In that case, we'd need a separate anti-Biden forum as well. highplainsdem May 2019 #87

also a good idea... nt G_j May 2019 #90

You'll be alright. BannonsLiver May 2019 #98

It's just sad to see all the devisiveness that's created by these unfounded attacks on Bernie. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #103

The new book will also be a bestseller NYMinute May 2019 #86

BS did receive royalties for the sale of an updated version his old book in 2016. lapucelle May 2019 #106

Lets see now Andy823 May 2019 #108

I'm surprised that a book which has sold 26,000 copies qualifies as a best-seller. Frankly, lunamagica May 2019 #137

Who is surprised by this? Gothmog May 2019 #138
