(57,936 posts)I wear a lot of pink. It goes with the color in my cheeks, and a colorist told me to wear it. Looks good on a lot of people. And then, there is Code Pink. I am not a part of that group but in my view, their choice of the color pink sends the message that they don't hesitate. They are women, proudly and even aggressively women and they wear pink to defy anyone from discounting their commitment to progress just because they are women. That's how I read it anyway. Same for women supporting Bernie. Pink is traditionally the color associated with femininity. Since I don't look good in blue but look better in pink, I'm happy that pink is for me as a woman.
And the bill about Wall Street? The banks need to be broken up. They are a danger to our society. In fact, a lot of the mega-corporations especially in the communications and media business need to be broken up. They have too much power and too much money. They bring too much risk into our economy. Bernie and Elizabeth Warren know that. They have sent a warning signal to the banks that their "too big to fail" status is about to end one way or another. They are right on that issue.
Did I answer your questions?
These two actions --- the pink and the Wall Street bill -- are not stunts. They are messages that have meaning. I back both Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
