Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumTell Democrats to STOP Red-Baiting of Bernie Sanders
Today, Hillary Clinton's supporters (Claire McCaskill) urged media to start calling Bernie Sanders a "socialist" so that Americans would turn against him. This is NOT the 1950s and we do not need a Democratic candidate whose minions devolve into McCarthyism. Stick to the issues, not red-baiting.
There are currently 325 signatures. NEW goal - We need 400 signatures!
Petition Background
The Democratic power brokers proved they are in Wall Street's back pocket today, when Clinton campaign operative, Senator Claire McCaskill, began red-baiting presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, urging media to call him "a socialist" and calling Sander's ideas extreme. Sander's ideas of expanding Social Security and Healthcare and increasing the minimum wage, are ALL things the American people want in polls. Sounds like the pro-Wall Street Clinton operatives are the extreme ones.

You should be ashamed. And afraid. Bernie is the REAL candidate that is not going to maintain the status quo, and move the country forward in the right direction. Not so for Hillary Clinton. Desperate, abominable, dirty tactics just show you have NOTHING to run on or for.

(36,392 posts)Bernie's more in line with the majority of democrats on every issue. All Mrs Clinton has is wall street money and a band of reaganite followers.

Bernie shall not run a negative campaign, so Mrs. Clinton will not badmouth Bernie. She sends her drones out to do it.
