Who Said It?

Find out how Joe Biden's comments about Medicare for All compare to Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and the health insurance industry. There's also a surprise twist at the end. Have fun!

Who said it, Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders?

"A woman enjoys intercourse with her man — as she fantasizes being raped by 3 men simultaneously."

A) Bernie Sanders
B) Trump
C) They both have a history of fantasizing about raping women

Who ran a campaign wrought with the abuse of women and not only did nothing about it, but either supported or turned a blind eye to it?

A) Bernie Sanders
B) Donald Trump

Jury, please look at the link from the op.

What I have done is the exact same thing.

10. Those are two undeniable facts about Sanders.
Tue Jul 16, 2019, 02:53 PM
Jul 2019

One he is so proud of that he had it published. The other is an undeniable fact of a campaign he stated he was extremely proud of.

Additionally, both points I brought forward are on the same topic. I stayed on point. All the way around.

There are numerous quotes or actions from Sanders that are often hidden here. He is that offensive.

Don't bring an op like this if you don't like the exact same in return. I mean exact.

I do agree with you that Sanders is way over the top. He has checked out.

In my first "who said it," was it A, B or C?

In my second "who said it," was it A or B?

There are correct answers to each. All grounded in absolute fact.

An accusation is a charge or claim.

It's a fact. It's his own words. His own fantasy, written by him, while he was in his thirties.

Just as the point I made about his campaign isn't an accusation. It's a fact.

The point is to make it clear Biden's remarks about M4A align with Republicans and the health insurance industry.

If the same "quiz" had been posted anywhere other than Bernie's site I would have linked it there. But to get to the point of the original post, Biden's comments really do resemble talking points used by Republicans and the health insurance industry.

It confirmed to me that the post belongs in the Bernie section.

As soon as I saw the "donate" button, I was out of there. A waste of a click.
