Does anything about this video promoted as "pro-Bernie" strike you as odd?

Just a couple of things I noted, not everything.

1. Clinton played by a Black woman who says "I am the fool that cannot beat him." Talk about throwing down the gauntlet the Clinton's Black women supporters.

2. A Black Man says I voted for him. The Black men voting for Bernie Van Group vs Black women who are Clinton's most solid base... Bernie Bros, gender war.... And who exactly funded the Black Men for Bernie's Group?

3. The white woman says I love him. (Hmmm... I vote for him on a purely emotional basis because obviously anyone thinking would vote for Clinton. And there's more I could say but I won't on this board.) Notice the red hair.... does that remind you of anyone?

4. The opening talks about Bernie being an old man having a baby's mama, get to senator, you're too blind son....hmm...

5. The Brooklynite was itching to seek, take, and prosper...

6. Use of the term Jew.

7. In corporate America you'll succeed, repeated and repeated and repeated.

There is lots of gender and other undertones in this video. Listen to the words and who sang the part.

Who paid for the production of this?

1. GOP tactic. I also see some here think that GOP's antiClinton video is legitimate

because they were duped into thinking it was posted by Anonymous.

Clue for those duped: Anonymous isn't petty enough or dumb enough to repeat RW talking points about their manufactured 'crimes' and 'scandals' of the last 2 decades.

This is how GOP goes into every election cycle - dividing the left while posing AS the stereotypical left that they love to lampoon.

It could also be some payback for that petition for open carry at the RNC convention. There was no stereotyping there, though. Didn't have to. Everyone knew the GOP base would be on board with open carry while establishment GOP would NOT.

I think GOP operatives are having a field day this election, Skw…..here at DU, too.

2. Really? It is up on Playbill. I would think it would be hard for the GOP to push their agenda on

that platform. Strange.

Plus the redhead... Hmm.... who was pissed off by SS's comments?

I am beginning to realize that we will never overcome racism or sexism as long as it can be used for political purposes.

Was Martin Luther King ever right...

[blm]

3. Heh…no kidding.

As far as infiltration by GOP goes, I never forget VVAW. In fact, after watching Tad Devine operate over the years and the effect he has on campaigns of good candidates, I am thinking he is working for GOP. Didn't like how he represented Kerry, and like even less how he is representing Sanders.

[Skwmom]

4. Speaking of the Corporate GOP. Do you really think they would limit their candidates to one ticket?

Why put all your eggs in one basket when if you put them in both you really increase your chances of success?

Hard to believe they never though of that...

Hmm...Devine has known Sanders for years. But, as far as people that have worked for Bernie's campaign, I keep in mind that these people want to be employed in the political world. Have there been saboteurs? Is the Pope Catholic?

[Skwmom]

5. Forgot the most obvious: Why would the GOP help Clinton? We've been told how they want

to run against Clinton....

[blm]

6. Not long ago we read that it was the campaign that pressured Sanders to

go on the attack when he did not want to. I don't like Sanders not being who he is to please Devine and Weaver.

[Skwmom]

7. You view it as an attack - I view it as telling the truth to the voters. Transparency is meaningless

if no one will speak the truth.

[blm]

8. As stated many times here at DU, I listen with ears tuned to GOTV.

And THAT has become my bottom line since GOP took control in DC and in my purple state.

[Skwmom]

9. Well BLM, have you ever asked why that has occurred? I have seen life-long Democrats leave

the party this primary season.

[blm]

10. Because GOP beat the bigot bushes in 2010, 2012, and 2014.

I am not going to pretend that GOP voters were anything BUT Bible-thumping, women-controlling, gunhumping, equality-hating bigots being manipulated by the ALEC crowd.

I also knw for a FACT now that I live in a state that is now solid red, that there is a HUGE difference between the parties that some might not understand until they experience it in their state.

What happened when NC and Wisconsin went from Dem control to GOP control?

[Skwmom]

11. I realize that people look at things through their prism based on their experience and I am sorry

that is your experience.

I support Bernie because he has always stood up for the rights of all people. But I think he is a very rare politician and the state of our society is do in a large part of how they want to divide us by race, gender, religion, sexuality, political affiliation and anything else they can come up with. And the fostering of that division does not seem to be limited to one party.

[blm]

13. I supported Bernie because of his common sense.

Common sense and logic are two important criteria for me.

[Joob]

12. I see it just how campaign was being played out. Actually like the video.

You see the people chanting "Corporate America" in the beginning while Bernie keeps saying "You and Me" and eventually they are with Bernie Sanders, as if they just woke up start chanting his name and going to the polls.

It was smartly done.
