20. I suggest that if you don't agree with Bernie

mute the TV until someone comes on that you'd rather listen to, rather than complain about a guy who has obviously endorsed Kamala, and still is willing to work on behalf of the poor in this country. You don't like it - fine - don't watch him.

What do I do? I mute the TV and read when I don't want to listen to something. Of course I don't watch it much, I only turned it on tonight because Obama was on the agenda.

I meant in Bernie's speech iemanja Aug 2024 #6

Oh yeah, I see what you mean. I didn't expect it. Bernie has to get up on his hobbyhorse every time. Walleye Aug 2024 #25

Yes, he tends to be repetitive PatSeg Aug 2024 #58

So does he always talk about what Covid was like under Trump MadameButterfly Aug 2024 #59

Sorry Walleye Aug 2024 #97

Muting the tv does nothing to reduce inequality iemanja Aug 2024 #27

Inequality? Is that a red herring? Bobstandard Aug 2024 #33
