I was merely saying it is kind of offensive to write and publish an op ed in a Jewish paper implying you would be a better Jew when your opponent is the first Jewish candidate that has won primaries and has been this viable.

She doesn't mention Bernie, much less compare herself to him.

how is she comparing herself with him?

Maybe you read that into her piece, but she didn't do that. She wrote about her own opinions and ideas. Sanders can do the same, if he wishes. Unless there's some direct comparison, there is no comparison in that piece.

Accuracy and other stuff is important. If you post inaccurate things on DU, someone will be certain to point it out. That's what happened here.
