"Socialism": I don't care what people call Bernie so long as they know where he stands on the issues
We should vote for
- Great public services, a strong social safety net, and full employment
- Defend and expand Social Security and Medicare.
- Defend Obamacare but also fight for a real single-payer health plan. Medicare For All.
- Advance the cause of civil rights and the right to vote.
- Defend safe access to abortion.
- Full equal pay for women at work.
- LGBT marriage equality.
- A living wage.
- Resist unfair trade deals like the TPP.
- Make it easier for workers to form unions.
- Help worker-owned companies.
- Tax Wall St.
- Stop NSA mass spying programs.
- Transform our energy system away from fossil fuels.
- A track record of good judgement opposing disastrous wars.
If people think that is socialism, fine.
If people vote on the issues Bernie will win.
