In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders Gave Joe Biden High Praise... [View all]thesquanderer
(11,970 posts)What does Bernie having said/done things you don't like have to do with it? The fact that there are legitimate things to disagree with Sanders about in no way means that there can't also be legitimate things to disagree with Biden about! Of course you can throw things out there too, who said you couldn't? It doesn't invalidate what Sanders has said. It's that old whataboutism again.
Nor is there hypocrisy in criticizing someone you have complimented before. Different circumstances, different subjects. It is indeed possible to both compliment AND criticize someone. I can easily compliment AND criticize Obama. And there is no reason I have to repeat my criticisms when I compliment him, or repeat my compliments when I criticize him. It doesn't make it hypocritical to talk about my criticisms on one day, and my compliments on another. Why would this be a problem?
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
