Sanders hits at Cornel West over criticism of Biden
politico.com

Some politicians are so fearful of former President Donald Trump retaking the White House that “they don’t really want to tell the full truth,” West said. “[Biden has] created the best economy that we can get. Is this the best that we can get? You don’t tell that lie to the people just for Biden to win,” West said in a clip played on CNN Sunday.

Cornell West is a fraud paid for by the right wing. Please don't fall for his bullshit. I'm glad Sanders sees it.

EnderWi99in is a fraud paid for by the right wing. Please don’t fall for his bullshit.

Everyone who disagrees with me is a paid shill, sure sounds like some rightwing cope.

The centrist liberals pathological inability to tolerate even small amounts valid and reasonable criticism is part of why democrats keep losing elections.

Where's your criticism of Cornel and his unpaid taxes and child support?

Racist trope much?

cornel west doesn't need to pay taxes or child support until we dismantle the empire.

Strawmanning your opponents is on page 2 of the rightwing playbook.

Can you at least try to counter Dr. West's arguments? If you can't, then just admit it. There's no shame in admitting weakness.

I'm not strawmanning Cornel, he has nearly half a million dollars in unpaid child support. Also plenty of other folks are taking on that aspect of his candidacy, pretending he's not deeply in debt is not taking his candidacy seriously and I don't think anyone who simply ignores the financial trouble he's in should be regarded as serious.

poisoning the well

he has nearly half a million dollars in unpaid child support.

that's a lie

have you considered reading articles before you link them?

What part of that article says he doesn't owe half a million dollars?

the amount isn't the dispute. it's the source of the debt.

Wait, you're calling it a lie in huge letters because the person said half a million in child support and not half a million in child support and taxes? That seems needlessly nitpicky and also needlessly aggressive.
