Sanders condemns Russian help!

[Saudade]

I suppose I shouldn't pick on a guy for where he held his "honeymoon."

No thanks, says Sanders.....

What a novel concept.

Doesn't change the fact that Russia thinks Bernie would be better to harm this country

First, Bernie went there in 1988, which was well after the start of Glasnost. The Soviet Union was moving away from Communism and Authoritarianism.

“It wasn’t as outlandish as it looks in the pictures,” William Pomeranz, the deputy director of the Wilson Center’s Kennan Institute, said after hearing a description of the footage. “It’s the height of Glasnost and Perestroika, where there are genuine efforts by Americans to reach out to Soviet cities and try to establish these relationships.”

Secondly, why is it that Bernie visiting the Soviet Union means he's a Communist, but Trump constantly praising dictators doesn't mean he's a Fascist? In one case, you have a guy simply visiting a country, in the other it's a guy saying he likes the way these Authoritarian countries are being run.
I've been to China, but I've never commended their dictators.

I would say he's a Democratic Socialist. It's similar, but there are some differences in the ideologies.

Once they get one level of socialism they're not satisfied until they get to the next. Unabated they'd eventually get to totalitarian communism, of that I have no doubt.

At minimum he's definitely colluding.

They're helping Sanders to help Trump, Einstooge.

They believe Sanders couldn't win.

I'll believe that when he starts accepting offers of help and holding secret meetings.

Slippery slope fallacy.

Slippery slope fallacy.

No, it's not an opinion that what you're saying is the slippery slope fallacy.
It starts with free healthcare and before you know it, we have a dictatorship. The slope is slippery.

Hmmmm, FBI opening collusion investigation against SANDERS?????Thats what Im hearing coming down the pipeline.

[Stone]

Something about Bernie people and Russian bots and troll farms???? Heavy handed tactics and threats. Things could get VERY interesting.

When I was a younger man I used to have to train every day to kill as many commies as possible if need be. Never thought our own people would become so sloth and feeble that they would even entertain the thought of putting one in the Whitehouse. What a disgrace.

Yet you're (group you) are not at all troubled by a corrupt and unprincipled would-be fascist in our White House.

You would think this would be standard boilerplate for an American president to articulate. Why can't Trump say this?

“I don’t care, frankly, who Putin wants to be president,” Sanders told The Washington Post in a statement. “My message to Putin is clear: Stay out of American elections, and as president I will make sure that you do. Unlike Donald Trump, I do not consider Vladimir Putin a good friend. He is an autocratic thug,” Sanders also said

THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE RUSSKIES TO HELP BERNIE!!!!! What is in it for them? They might want to make it look that way while they are helping Trump AGAIN!

Ignorant twat, he's totally against fracking ffs! Anything that can damage US energy independence plays right into his hands!. Where do these idiots come from?
