Laws that lots of people supported back then who would not support them now. This is a non-story.
So this one he voted for but it isn't "the crime bill". What was different about it? In the video he said he voted for it but it failed.
It's a good thing Sanders has clearly repudiated it, apologized, and explained why he felt boxed in with no choice.
And that Biden continues to defend it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but none of the quotes in that tweet are in the video. He spends the whole video saying that he understands the bill is flawed.
This was one of the worst things in the last cebtury we did and thankfully bernie has strongly repudiated his position on it. But since we agree this is bad we should coaslesce around getting biden out since thus far he has defended voting for this and called it a good thing.
No one said "US needs more jails" in the video you posted, unless there is some other clip.
It's a very milquetoast statement by sanders, more or less "the bill is not perfect but has some good parts that make it worth it."

it's ok when the person has shown regret and has changed. yall are such a bunch of tryhards trying to discredit Bernie. it's incredible to watch, honestly.

doesn't seem like it, with your thread and reply to another user.
Click the article or
And Warren was registered as a Republican once well before the time this video came out (and well, well before she became a politician herself) yet she can never be forgiven for that. People change all the time, yet apparently only some people are allowed credit for doing so.
Bernie supporters sometimes....

Just because I post info about someone that's negative doesn't mean I don't support them or their policy agenda. My second post was more pointing out the hypocrisy of some Bernie supporters that happens and not the man himself.
How many people actually say she can never be forgiven for that? I think that's a dumbass criticism as well. Try not to stereotype all supporters of a particular candidate one way or the other. That may apply on vocal twitter minorities but that definitely does not translate to real life, as we have been shown time and time again.
Some context:
Lays out that the 94 vote was him doing a compromise. now of course, a vote's a vote.

This is fucking hilarious. The same shit Biden gets rightfully dragged for, Bernie can't be?
Fuck this noise. And ya'll wonder why Bernie will be destroyed come the southern primaries.
Biden gets dragged for calling black people bad parents in 2020. It just happens to be the case he had a long standing relationship w/ white supremacists going back 30 years as well.
The second video in the thread is even him saying that he supported the bill for its parts about investing more money into prevention, and that he prefers prevention over punishment.
What's with the obsession of trying to paint Bernie supporters as hypocrites on era? Every thread about Bernie turns into "nowww what will bernie supporters say about this???!"
He is the best candidate in the race and our best chance to defeat trump. I don't care if you hate him though, but for the haters... I hope they can hold their nose and vote Bernie in November like I did with Hillary in 2016 😀🙋🏼♀️
The article by CNN even says "Sanders more recently has described the bill as "terrible" and says he is sorry he voted for it, but his view at the time was that although the bill "isn't perfect," he viewed it as "a major step forward in controlling and preventing crime."
Biden hasn't changed. Bernie would be able to go up on stage, say exactly the ways he has changed, and people would see its legitimacy.
What else do you call criticism of your candidates shitty positions?
Shall i show the many times on this forum that Bernie stans attacked warren for being a Republican over 30 years ago?
I'm talking about Biden's shit history as a whole. Present and past. Whether it's the parading around with segregationists, his support for the war on drugs etc.
Guess what, Bernie isn't immune from being called out on shit either just because he marched for civil rights and worked for an advocacy group on campus. This whataboutism and deflection is bullshit, sorry. Both of them have things they deserve to be called out for. It's not a god damn competition about who was worse.
I think so too. This is a major difference between Biden and Bernie. Bernie can admit his mistakes and show he's learned from them, where Biden just gaslights people and lies about his record.
Of course it would. Bernie is never wrong. There's always an excuse. Someone else being worse always absolves him.
Wasnt this already reported on? I def remembee a story where this was mentionedcand bernie talked about regretting voting for it
