and also sometimes with stuff that's missing crucial context or just plain irrelevant.

I'm not saying that EVERY criticism of Sanders is a bash, or is unfounded. I'm not complaining about valid ones. Sanders, Biden, Harris, Buttigieg, Warren, Klobuchar are all people who I feel would make good presidents, and are also all imperfect. But when it comes to their imperfections, I'd rather discuss truthful and relevant ones, and discuss them honestly.

Again, although you keep bringing up other things (even while saying you're sick of the whatabouts!), like smearing the Democratic party or people not liking Bernie, etc., this thread is about the Wall Street bailout votes, and secondarily, whether Sanders is capable of voting for imperfect compromises or if he is too pig-headed for that. I think the criticisms of Sanders on these particular fronts are unfounded (for reasons I have explained multiple times), and are therefore examples of bashing, something there is much of on this board.

p.s. -- I still don't know what your HIPAA reference was about, what did I miss?
