With no sense of irony, a campaign that refuses to abide by common standards of releasing 8 years of full tax returns, who has repeatedly falsely claimed they have released them, demands than Hillary release speeches done in her capacity as a private citizen. This after Jane Sanders complained that the NY Daily News released a transcript of an interview given on the record.
Romney didn't release his full returns and he lost the election. Sanders knows that yet continues to stonewall and dissemble, and now with no awareness of how incredibly hypocritical it seems, he continues to insist Clinton be held to standards he has no intention of following himself.
I can only conclude that as president Sanders would continue to promote double standards that have characterized his campaign. I do not support a politician who seeks to enforce different standards for some people, who announces repeatedly that the votes of the South, where African Americans predominate, should count less than the very low turn-out caucus states. Not only that, his campaign has trepeatedly announced a strategy that depends on winning not with a majority vote, but instead overturning the electoral will of the mafority to install himself in power against the electoral will of the people.
So again we see Bernie has no intention to hold himself to standards he criticizes others for, as his repeated FEC violations demonstrate. That his supporters promote the same view that the candidate and the voters who support him are worth more than majority, the only conclusion I can come to is that unequal standards, rights, and votes would be central to a Sanders presidency. The double standards comes from entitlement, the same entitlement that leads him to complain when Clinton, after many months, finally criticizes him, when he has made maligning her character the heart of his campaign. It is the same entitlement that enables his supporters to harass super delegates and even pledged delegates to support Sanders with the absurd claim that he represents the "will of the people," despite the fact millions more have voted for Clinton. The only conclusion possible is that they themselves superior to the majority and that they are willing to do anything to restore their unfettered privilege.
I vote for equal rights, not double standards and discounting or overturning the votes of the majority.
