bernie supporters complain about the media shadowbanning him from coverage in some instances (legit criticism imo...they leave him out of the convo when they shouldnt).

but what the media is *not* doing is vetting bernies past political history the same way theyve vetted biden and warren.

and candidates arent attacking him the same way he/his campaign attack them on their past.

like...

- voted to protect the nra death lobby from lawsuits.
- voted against brady bill (gun background check and waiting period) 5 times
- voted against amber alerts
- voted against chip (child health insurance program)
- voted for indefinite detention of immigrants
- voted for measure supporting anti-immigrant minutemen militia
- pushed trumpian rhetoric that immigrants take jobs and burden/threaten our social safety net
- voted to dump toxic waste (from a company his wife was on the board of) in the backyard of a latino community.
- sanders institute funneling donations into the pockets of family members and loyalists (something they accused clinton of doing)
- endorsed/campaigned for an anti-abortion mayoral candidate in 2017 while roe v wade is under threat from trump supreme court justices (he double down on this when questioned too)
- voted against closing gitmo
- voted against russian sanctions after they attacked our elections
- said black people are locked up more often for drug crimes because most drug dealers are black


thats just off top. im sure theres more that would come to light if dug into (like the social security 'adjustment').

plenty of times bernie didnt live up to his own standard that he holds *everybody else* to. and nobody is really calling it out.
