Summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accused Bernie Sanders of taking millions from Big Pharma during a heated exchange, but Sanders refuted the claim, stating his donations came from workers, not corporate PACs.

Kennedy repeatedly insisted Sanders was the top recipient of pharmaceutical money in 2020, but financial data shows no corporate PAC contributions to Sanders.

Meanwhile, Kennedy has profited from anti-vaccine activism, earning millions from lawsuits and speaking fees.

The debate ended without Kennedy answering whether he would guarantee health care for all as HHS secretary.

    There are plenty of Trump supporters that liked Bernie. If you aren’t hearing them, you’re part of the issue. People are sick of being told they suck.

      So we need to be pandering more to complete fucking morons?

      Plenty of Trump supporters say and do all sorts of stupid fucking shit.

            So you don’t want people to vote for the candidate you support? Or don’t really care that much? I can understand weariness.

              What? Where did I say (or even imply) anything about not wanting other people to vote for someone? I was speaking only for myself.

                I’m just trying to figure out your goal with communicating in this fashion. What’s the desired effect?
