You should know by now that a lot of people don’t make decisions based on the numbers.

I have some libs on Facebook crying about the Bernie comparing workers to slaves comments.

[anon24898493]

What did he say exactly?

[otatop]

Here’s Bernie’s slavery quotes from the Daily Beast:

“We believe ultimately that companies like Vermont Marble should be owned by the workers themselves and that workers—not a handful of owners—should be determining policy,” Sanders said. “If a worker at Vermont Marble has no say about who owns the company he works for and that major changes can take place without his knowledge and consent, how far have we really advanced from the days of slavery, when black people were sold to different owners without their consent?”

Later in the 1976 article, Sanders called for “the working people of this country, who constitute the vast majority of the population,” to seize control of the economy to thwart poor labor conditions, “if we are free people and not slaves.”

In the second interview, conducted on the occasion of Labor Day in 1977, Sanders—then the Liberty Union Party’s chairman—said that the decline of industry and the increase in service-sector jobs meant that “basically, today, Vermont workers remain slaves in many, many ways.”

“How can a worker be happy with his or her job when he or she has no control over that job?” Sanders asked. “The problem comes when we end up with an entire state of people trained to wait on other people.”

In that interview, Sanders pointed to a worker-owned asbestos plant in Lowell, Vermont, as an example of the kind of worker-owned enterprise that he envisioned in the economy of the future.

“In the long run,” Sanders said, “what we are talking about is a peaceful revolution.”

Pretty bland, tbh. Let’s see what Biden’s said…

“In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.”

Seems worse but hey, it’s the seventie…nope, that’s from fucking 2006.

I can’t wait til Bernie-mentum really happens and all the OG Bernie Bros turn on all his new supporters for being too late to the party.

That was a stupid thing to say by Sanders.

Lets see how CNN portrays this one, since its literally the same as their poll except flipped, 30-27 biden instead of 30-27 bernie. In order for them to be consistent they would need to report this by saying Bernie jumps to tie Biden in new Emerson poll.

[MimosaDef]

Yeah that’s pretty indefensible. It’s also like 40 yrs ago and shouldn’t define him. Anyone who tries to use it to define him is pretty lame. But I really hope no one tries to work up a defense of it, either.

[tabbaker]

What’s the problem with what he said?

@tabbaker

What’s the problem with what he said?

Comparing slavery to working a 9-5 job is pretty bad. Obviously being a slave was much, much worse and comparing them undersells how horribly bad slavery was.

What about when Frederick Douglass does it?
