    This is not fact checking. This is gaslighting. The fact that the USA has been supporting dictators for decades does not change or alter what Bernie is saying.

      Yes it does. Supporting countries that happen to be democracies as well as supporting countries that happen to be dictatorships according to your national interests is far different from supporting democracy as a goal.

      …Bernie said the US supported democracy. This is, in every conceivable way, a complete and total lie.

      It’s such a ridiculous lie that you wouldn’t be able to say just those words after the year 1805.
