I'm only posting this because a few pages ago in this thread, Lindy Li was held up as the Biden equivalent of a Bernie Bro, and her existence used to rationalize all Bernie Bro behavior with both-sides-ism.  Her crime?  She posted the Sanders-praises-USSR clip with some totally fair commentary.

I don't see Lindy harassing someone's little brother.  For Christ's sake.  The sooner this "revolution" dies the better.

If this is such an issue they should give us names. Until then I will take all of these claims with a grain of salt.

She falsely edited a video to make Sanders look bad, and now isn't naming and shaming people for doing this. Until she does, she has no credibility.

We're not done with Iowa, yet.

The name is in the screenshot, but that's beside the point.  Harassment of family members isn't suddenly ok because the victims don't "name and shame" their harassers.

I think it's clear at this point, Sanders is the clear frontrunner with what will probably be 2.5 wins going into SC

Hate to break it to you but the revolution is going as strong now as it has ever had

Both of these things can be true at the same time. This person can be a piece of **** who took his opposition way too far, and Lindy Li can be a lying, anti-Semitic smear artist. These people should be condemned and shunned, not elevated.

I've done my part. Will you do yours, or do you believe it's suddenly okay to doctor videos when it's coming from your people?

I haven't even seen the video but can you explain how it's doctored?

Here's the full video. If you watch the entire thing, he does actually criticize the Russian way of life. Lindy's version is selectively edited to make a very, very hasty generalization.

That's different from saying it's "doctored." She cuts out a portion of his speech just to highlight the incriminating remarks.

So let me get this straight.  Sanders gives he speech where he says many good things about the USSR followed by many criticisms.  Lindy makes a video showing the "good parts" section of the speech and says "this guy praised the Soviet Union, and that's a bad thing." Bernie Bros demonize her to ridiculous extremes, bully her out of her job, doxx and harass her family.  And I'm supposed to think she's the villain in this story?

I’m sorry but that is massively disingenuous. The criticism Bernie had of the USSR had to deal with their authoritarian nature and the underlined implication of the video shown was that Sanders is some tankie who is a threat to democracy. Any point of showing someone praising the USSR is to imply they support their dictatorship style government but if they don’t (like Sanders clearly does) then who gives a sh*t if he said some nice things about their train stations

[NOVA Green]

You know a thread is good when it turns into a debate over the specifics of Stalinist history.

It's not a BRTD thread???

No hate on BRTD, but just sayin'   

[Beet]

Sanders then:

Sanders now:

https://twitter.com/merica/status/1229945441313329152

He's a stinking liar. He also keeps repeating that he's released as much as other candidates which is a blatant, flat-out lie.

[Mehmentum]

Wow, you found our weakness.  I'm shaking in my boots.

[Beet]

Wow, you found our weakness.  I'm shaking in my boots.

Sorry, him having a massive heart attack in the middle of a GE or presidency is not something that Bernie Bros will be able to bully their way out of.

Now he's being evasive on Bloomberg:

You see, the video is edited, but MacArthur feels her generalization is correct so it isn't deceptive.

I found this from #NeverBernie, don't know if this is true or not, can someone fact check it?

[GeneralMacArthur]

It's also funny that MacArthur has yet to condemn Lindy's anti-Semitism.

What she said wasn't anti-semitic.  It's really disgusting how you guys are so obsessed with smearing someone who is at best a marginally noteworthy Twitter personality.  It's also really disgusting how your buddies are attacking her family and as usual you're sitting here splitting hairs over whether or not she had it coming.

I mean I’m a democrat but he isn’t wrong especially about the first part. Ever since Dukakis the party became scared to embrace the liberal ideals our party has stood for since FDR
