    Also important to note that Bernie defends voting for Democrats in this interview.

    “Because it’s easy to say,” said Sanders. “But ‘burning it down’ means children will not have food to eat. The schools will deteriorate. People will not have healthcare. I’m an elected official. I’ve got to represent the people. I can’t turn my back on them.”

      Like Nina Turner said…

      “It’s like saying to somebody, ‘You have a bowl of shit in front of you, and all you’ve got to do is eat half of it instead of the whole thing,’” about the choice between Biden and Trump. “It’s still shit.”

      Yeah, had that part in to begin with but figured it was already too long for people to read all of it.

      I’m not gonna watch the interview because I have more issues with Schulz than just what Kendrick was talking about.

      But this wasn’t just twisting Bernie’s words like normal, there’s a mountain of difference between “I agree” and “I’m not going to argue that”.

      Like, if trump got life imprisonment for killing Santa, I’m not gonna argue with it, but that’s not the same as agreeing he did it.
