Bernie Sanders Says the Quiet Part Out Loud! — Says Kamala is NOT Abandoning Her Socialist Ideals, She Is ‘Trying to Be Pragmatic’ to Win the Election
Gateway Pundit ^ | 09/08/2024 | Jim Hoft

Bernie Sanders has said the quiet part out loud on Kamala Harris’s flip-flopping on key issues, confirming what many Americans have known all along: Kamala is not abandoning her far-left, socialist ideals but is simply pretending to be moderate to win the election.

During an appearance on Meet the Press, Senator Sanders was asked by Kristen Welker about Harris’s flip-flopping on key issues like Medicare for All, fracking, border wall, and others.

Sanders openly declared that Harris is not abandoning her ideals, but rather masking them to appeal to a broader audience in the hopes of winning over moderate voters.

Kristen Welker: To describe Vice President Kamala Harris as a progressive, she has previously supported Medicare for All. Now, she does not. She previously supported a ban on fracking. Now, she does not. These, Senator, are ideas that you have campaigned on. Do you think she is abandoning her progressive ideals?

Bernie Sanders: No, I don’t think she’s abandoning her ideals. I think she’s trying to be pragmatic and doing what she thinks is right in order to win the election.

Sanders’ remarks highlight that Harris isn’t just flip-flopping on her beliefs to survive the campaign trail. Instead, she’s using “pragmatism” as an excuse to align with whatever ideology suits her ambition at the moment.

The Trump campaign should make an ad with a clip from this interview.

"No, I don’t think she’s abandoning her ideals. I think she’s trying to be pragmatic and doing what she thinks is right in order to win the election."

"I'll take 'How to say she's lying without actually saying she's lying" for $500, Alex."

He's admitting she has to hide what she really believes.

It’s called lying through her teeth, Bernie. If you’re going to say the quiet part out loud, at least have the courage to call it what it is.

Yes, and to admit that her policies are in fact HIS. He's admitting one must lie about them to get into office.

Given what the Cucumber in Chief has implemented it should be clear by now that, in effect, Bernie won in 2020.

“Pragmatism” seems to be the newly adopted word for the art of bobbing, dodging and weaving. “Que mala” Harris cannot give a straight answer on ANYTHING, even if she could define what she is talking about. Carefully cultured, particularly by her mother, she claims to have been seeking “fweedom” from a VERY early age, yet could not define what that “fweedom” may consist of.

Pavlovian training really does work.

Yes.

I remember when the dimwitted voters were starting to question Bernie in the re-election campaign and he said there have been questions about his party. “I am a Democrat.” He won.
Then he returned to spouting full tilt socialism and kept the title Independent, caucusing with Democrats.

He’s ready to tell any lie and so is Kamala.

Kamala to her coaches and handlers for the debate prep:
“I’m getting kind of tired. Tell me again what I believe.”

Those times she said when asked about objections from people to gun confiscation “They’ll have to get past that” and about climate change laws to attack gas cars and other “bad” things “We have to just do it and we have to move beyond their objections. We’ll just do it”

Mao probably said that when he took over.

Kamala has so much BS to memorize about her refreshing new centrist stances but....

I've been getting plenty of Harris ads on TV, Radio and the Internet. Even got something in the mail (I should have saved that but I threw it away in disgust).

Suffice to say they are chuck full of obvious ( to me) lies. The Perennial lie of saying 'x' will destroy Medicaid and Social security is the standard Democrat lie every election.

At the end of these ads is 'I'm Kamala Harris and I approved this ad'. In other words she approves all the lies.

I mention all this because claiming to change her positions is easily explained as just another lie because she lies so easily.
