Bernie Sanders Tells the Truth (A Little Bit, Anyway) by Tom Reynolds
Bernie Sanders is not on Tuesday’s ballot but he is a major force in the Democrat Party and his “thinking” is essentially that of the Democrat Party. During an interview with Seth Meyers, Bernie Sanders said, “I think it is fair to say that in many ways the Democratic Party has become a party of the coastal elites.” (Did he look at a national map of red states and blue states to get this stunning flash of brilliance?)
Sanders continued, “But I think for many, many years the Democratic Party has not paid the kind of attention to working-class needs that they should’ve and that has a lot to do with who funds campaigns, etc.”
Sanders knows that, in the midst of riots, arson, murders, defunding police and rogue District Attorneys, Democrats ignored the safety needs of working-class citizens and wanted to do away with a citizens’ last form of protection, the 2nd Amendment. With NICS checks and gun sales hitting all-time highs, shouldn’t that have caught the actual candidates’ (Biden and Harris) attention. Perhaps they were too busy courting Wall Street to notice? Women are a significant percentage of these gun buyers and yet we hear that suburban women will vote for the gun grabbers Biden and Harris. (Sarah Palin’s “pit bull with lipstick” now carries a Glock.)
Democrats are too busy courting big donors, as Sanders said, to be bothered with working-class needs like safety. Breitbart reports that Wall Street executives in New York City, alone, have poured more than $74 million into Biden’s campaign. A CNN analysis noted that “all the big banks” are backing Biden against Trump. These donors want to buy Biden’s support instead of him wasting his time on working-class needs.
Sanders once embraced the rural gun culture in Vermont. But he has moved to the left along with the rest of his party after he saw that his gun record could be a real detriment to his presidential ambitions.
Wow, he flipped on 2A because of presidential ambitions. Say it aint so! Does that sound like anyone else we know?
In 1986, Joe Biden voted with the NRA on a bill called the “Firearms Owners’ Protection Act,” which the NRA called “the law that saved gun rights”. Biden was key to the law’s passage at the time. When the Democrat Party subsequently shifted left, being loyal follower, Joe did the same and now has an extensive and undeniable history as a gun grabber - which doesn’t stop him from flip flopping on 2A. When he was competing in the Democrat Primary against other gun grabbing Democrats, Biden was anti 2A and he said to Beto O’Rourke, “You're gonna take care of the gun problem with me, you're gonna be the one who leads this effort". But while campaigning against 2A supporter President Trump, Biden was accused of being hostile to 2A by a factory worker. His response was, “You’re full of sh..! I support the Second Amendment”. He may support it when talking to 2A supporters but when talking to gun grabbing democrats – not so much.
On the other hand, Kamala Harris is nothing but consistent in her opposition to 2A. She must believe that guns are the problem and not the person holding the gun, since she has never met a gun control bill she didn’t like. But based on her actions, illegal aliens, on the other hand, are to be protected from the consequences of breaking laws.
Harris figures that those inanimate objects can’t vote, but Biden and Sanders understand that the objects’ owners can vote! And if gun owners sit home on November 3rd or believe the flip floppers on 2A, they will have sealed their own fate - as well as ours, too.
Vote as if your 2nd Amendment right depends on it – because it does!
