I periodically look at clips from Fox News just to see what kind of garbage and propaganda they are spewing this week. I also watch a show called "The View" when it is on Hulu.com. I can't stand the show and have to force myself to listen to it for any length of time. Sometimes I have to turn it off because their elitist nonsense is offensive. Recently the whole gaggle of co-hosts attacked Bernie Sanders to excuse the rude ignorant remarks of Hillary Clinton, the elitist snob, who, along with her husband, tried to turn Democrats into the "Other Republican Party" through their original ties to politics in Arkansas.
I don't trust either of them on anything because their war hawkish and economically elitist policies have pretty much destroyed the Democratic Party which is full of people who have labeled themselves as Establishment politicians when they should be saying Corrupt politicians because that is what it actually means to people like me.
Hillary had to weigh in on this election she could never win with her continued sour grapes excuses, trying to blame Bernie Sanders for her loss, instead of realizing most Democrats are progressive and DON'T CARE what she thinks. She said that, "No one likes Bernie Sanders and he hasn't done anything."
I must rebut here:
A) "The Almanac of American Politics called Sen. Bernie Sanders a “practical” and “successful legislator.” In the House, he was dubbed the “amendment king” for passing more roll-call amendments than any other member. “He accomplishes this on the one hand by being relentlessly active and on the other by using his status as an independent to form left-right coalitions,” Matt Taibbi wrote in Rolling Stone. As the veterans committee chairman, Sanders was able “to bridge Washington’s toxic partisan divide and cut one of the most significant deals in years,” Humberto Sanchez wrote for Congressional Quarterly."
B) "Veterans
Landmark legislation was passed in 2014 to help the Department of Veterans Affairs serve America’s aging population of veterans and to meet the needs of a new generation of men and women who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. As the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee chairman, Sanders steered the bill through Congress. The legislation (H.R. 3230) passed the Senate 93-3 after passing the House 265-160 and was signed by President Obama on Aug. 7, 2014. The law included $5 billion for the VA to hire more doctors and other health care professionals. Sanders commitment to veterans has a long history. In 1998, he worked with Rep. Chris Shays to pass a bill to care for illnesses afflicting Gulf War veterans."

C) Sanders voted against the Bush-Cheney war in Iraq. The House on Oct. 11, 2002, voted 293-133 for the resolution (H.J. Res. 1149) authorizing military force. The war, which dragged on for nine years, was one of the worst foreign policy fiascoes in modern American history and fomented the Islamic State terrorist group that plagues the Middle East today.
D) Sanders was in the 420-1 House majority on Sept. 14, 2001, in voting for a resolution (H.J. RES 64) authorizing the use of force against the country which harbored those responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. As the longest war in U.S. history dragged on, Sanders supported the withdrawal of U.S. troops, which finally ended combat operations in the country in 2014.

E) Sanders voted against the resolution (H.J. RES 77) authorizing U.S. military action in the Persian Gulf War when it passed the House by a vote of 250-183 on Jan. 12, 1991.
F) The post-9/11 law gave the National Security Agency broad new surveillance powers that the NSA abused to sweep up millions of email and telephone records without search warrants. “All of us want to protect the American people from terrorist attacks but in a way that does not undermine basic freedoms,” Sanders, a "no" vote, said on Oct. 24, 2001, when the surveillance law (H.R. 3162) first passed the House 357-66. He voted against renewing the law (S. 2271) on March 7, 2006, when reauthorization passed 280-138. In the Senate, he voted against extending the PATRIOT Act (S. 990) on May 26, 2011, when the extension passed 72-23.
Instead of making this post any longer, I will say that I could go on for volumes about the things that Bernie Sanders accomplished, contrary to that Hillary Clinton says. Also, here is a list if you really want to see his whole history of accomplishments: http://addictinginfo.com/2016/02/19/heres-a-long-list-of-bernie-sanders-accomplishments-with-citations/
As far as no one liking him, the voters LOVE HIM after they hear him speak. Hillary doesn't want you to know those things are possible In 2016, she, in debate with Sanders told him that the $15 an hour minimum wage was not possible at that time and that SHE thought the best we could have was $10 dollars an hour.
She was a senator in New York, previously, so when a week later, New York and California passed the $15 dollar an hour minimum wage, she ran immediately to New York for their celebration. She acted like it was her idea all along, which to me labels her are as a big fat liar. She voted for the Iraq War and the War in Afghanistan and Sanders voting against Iraq and the withdrawal of troops once we figured out shooting at and bombing caves in their mountains wasn't getting the job done of killing Bin Laden.
If no one likes Bernie- explain this. This is the amount of donations received by each of the candidates listed on the Downticket.com website under campaigns:
It shows that Sanders has collected over $74.3M , mostly in small donations and Biden, the supposed establishment Leader has earned $37.8 million and most of that was from Big Corporations and special interest PACs. Sanders refuses donations from most of the people who donate to Joe Biden. Here is a list of Joe Biden's top donors from Votesmart.com :
Here is the amount Joe received and from what industries::
At this point, I hope I don't have to post more pictures of Biden's touchy feely shit that he doesn't apologise for because he, in his addled conservative brain, believes he doesn't need to, putting him, in my opinion, in the same category as people like Roy Moore and the late Jeffrey Epstein.
In summation, the View, with Me-Again ("My father, My father, My father") McCain and Richie Goldberg (Who says calling out corruption in a politician is "pooping all over them"), just had a broadcast, which I can best sum up by quoting a YouTube viewer who watched it.
"Melissa H 2 hours
We're multi-millionaires and we hate Bernie, so everyone in the country hates him. Logic has returned to America!"
This comment received over 300 thumbs up ratings without any thumbs down.
My comment that I wish I could scream at all of them, face to face, is, "Progressives are the voters who vote on policy, not identity politics, like you do, despite your saying that you hate that., you bunch of corrupted TWITS!" (Which is one more reason I would never make it in politics.)
Take Care,

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
