Bernie's 2020 National Leadership team is 70% Women!!

Now let the subtle shade commence because it wasn't 71%.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Good defense strategy. I applaud him for it. Let’s hope it filters into the field offices where a lot of the threats are.

But instead of just focusing on the field offices I suggest that all senior aides of the candidates be vetted thoroughly. It is definitely needed since two candidates have a verifiable history of shielding and protecting sexual harassers who were close aides. I would be really mad at Bernie if I found out that he knew of abuse by his closest aides and did nothing about it. That would be disqualifying to me as a Democrat.

It really seemed to take on an atmosphere ripe for repeated abuse. It was such a bad atmosphere that Sanders own campaign manager said this: "Speaking generally about 2016, was it too male? Yes. Was it too white? Yes. Would this be a priority to remedy on any future campaign? Definitely, and we share deeply in the urgency to make the necessary changes," Jeff Weaver

Overcompensation. That goes hand in hand with the understanding that it is for image purposes alone.
