Bernie Sanders Bashes Uber, Uses It For All His ‘Taxi’ Rides

[Programmer]

Not awkward. Hypocritical and liar are the correct terms you are looking for.

Can you quote this "hypocrisy"? Can you spell it out?

I couldn't either.

Amazing how people just run with headlines, without bothering to read what's in them.

Unions, but no one is surprised that you couldn't make such an easy connection.

So you're saying there's some kind of unions connection here, just because a minute ago you posted the word "unions" on a message board?

That's IT?

Life so simple for some.

Are you this upset that bernie is a lying hypocrite or are you in partisan denial? You don't have to answer.

I'm simply pointing out what I always point out around here -- that claims made in the OP do not exist in his own source material, and that faced with refutation of an unsupported point, certain wags will double down on denial and continue to wax the ipse dixit carrot, rather than admit they've been duped by their own failure to read their own links.

This is the latin-wielding debate cop route. That, too should be supported by the facts of the matter.

None the less shocking, Bernie Sanders is not the new fresh hope all of his drooling Marxist followers think he is. He is, in fact, another hypocrite politician preaching one thing and doing another. Just a couple of months ago he was sucking up to unions by bashing Uber, but his campaign finance reports show Uber is his only taxi service.

You might wanna read your own links. Even the link used as a reference (Daily Caller, Tucker Carlson's hyperventilating rag) only quotes him as having "serious problems" with Uber due to it's being "unregulated". The rest of the piece doesn't even mention the connection at all. And then the Bloomberg link IT refers to quotes exactly the same phrase, and again IT goes into no further detail.

And neither article makes any such connection to "unions". You made that up.

Always read your own material before somebody else does if you want to maintain credibility.

C'mon, you know Sanders is on union payroll and you should know unions are trying to ban uber.

None of the articles make any such connection. The OP made it up.

Go ahead -- check me.

sanders union - Google Search

Sanders made it up himself.

You do understand that posting Google search results is meaningless, right?

If you read the actual interview instead of relying on secondary sources, you'll see he's not "bashing" Uber, he's commenting on the fact that it's unregulated.

Essentially anyone with a driver's license can work for Uber. There have been numerous incidents of Uber drivers committing crimes.

Maybe some of you don't mind getting into a car with a mugger or a rapist, but other people are a little more cautious.

No problem. I just took it a step further with his love for unions and figured most could make that deduction.

You are really struggling with the whole reading thing...

Perhaps it will never come to you. Move on, just focus on simple stuff.

This is, if possible, even less coherent than your last post. Again, no point made at all.

I take it you're flummoxed by my use of the term ipse dixit. Like it or not it's part of English now; if you don't know what it means, look it up. That said, if you're proposing we speak without Latin-derived vocabulary, you're going to end up pretty much mute. Tant pis.

Frankly I thought "wax the ipse dixit carrot" was inspired. I kill me.

 

[TNHarley]

Lots of various Unions donate to BS. However, One could argue they do it because he is somewhat of a protectionist.

Ah so you're making an asssssss-umption, and backing it up with the old "everybody knows" fallacy.

Immaterial. It's not in the articles. Period.

So that would be another vote for "I wouldn't mind getting into a car with a mugger or rapist"? Because the objection in the original quote was to the lack of screening for Uber drivers.

Umm.... the cited article is exactly the OP's point. So I did what he failed to do --- I actually read that article, as well as the articles his link linked to. And what he claims simply does not exist there. Thus his claim is baseless.

Now if he wanted a source that backed up his OP claim .... he should have found such a source. But linking to that obscure site called the Google Search Engine proves absolutely nothing. The onus is on the claimant to back up what he says. And it's not there. Ain't rocket surgery.

Nope, wrong again. Bernie's never been a Democrat (which is a proper noun btw). His first electoral win (mayor of Burlington) unseated a sitting Democrat, and in every other since defeated both Democrats and Republicans. One election, the Dems and Repubs actually got together and ran a joint candidate against him. He still won.

I guess. I never liked when the referee disturbed the outcome of the game.

Without reading any articles, I searched google and saw Sanders made news coming out against Uber in Aug. His qualms... from skimming the first page of google results... are the same laundry list they used in NV and Broward, FL vs Uber. There are a few recent articles pointing to this sloppiness in his campaign's transportation decisions. The other search vindicates that he's heavily funded by unions.

I think sanders should clean that up. His campaign should call teamsters to move their furniture around.

I assume you mean it's inconvenient when facts get in the way.

Tough. Deal with it. This ain't no "game".
