The Speech Bernie Needs to Give – NOW

Anti-Bernie Smear #26: “Bernie is like Trump and/or his supporters are just like Trump’s”
Saying that “Bernie is just a Trump of the Left” is an intellectually lazy way to criticize a candidate. When you cannot fault him on policy or personal grounds, you go after his base of support. Such an attack is … Continue reading

Anti-Bernie Smear #17: “Bernie is not a Democrat!”
Centrist Democrats love to pillory Bernie for not being on their Team. This particular “attack” is so stupid that I resisted writing an answer to it for a long time, thinking that it would go away. Alas, there seems to … Continue reading
