Bernie Sanders: "I Was Stunned" by Corporate Media Blackout During Democratic Primary

You're really stuck on Mr. Sanders, aren't you? I haven't brought him into this once. I won't negate the positive things she has done, which I assure you, I am already well aware of. She has rightly, tooted her own horn in both the '08 and '16 debates. As a resident of NY I also had the benefit of hearing her accomplishments when she campaigned to be our senator.

I only ask that you accept the terrible things she has done and supported.

As a product of mandatory minimum sentencing laws enacted in the '90's the US prison population has doubled, guess what color people that effected most seriously, guess what income level of people it effected most seriously?

Her support for the Iraq War, Syria, Libya, military action in Honduras, and countless others has led to hundreds of thousands of civilians and thousands of American soldiers dead, and accelerated the transition of the middle-east from a series of 'hot-spots' to a catastrophic mess.

Had the 'gold-standard' trade deal TPP been passed it would have created a health-care crisis for 800,000,000 Pacific Islanders, and potentially curtailed human and workers rights for citizens in partner countries. You'll note I didn't bring in her husband's support of NAFTA here.

As a resident of NY she did fuck-all for us as far as representing her constituents. While she may have been an "important" player on federal matters, and internationally, she did little to represent the citizens of her state as she was far more concerned about positioning herself for future career moves. Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about the highway she renamed in Orchard Park. She also called for an investigation of Grand Theft Auto's sex-scenes. Smart.

She's done some good. She's done some bad. She's done a lot of sitting on her hands. If you can't accept the latter two, than there really isn't a point in me continuing to waste my morning.
