(3,747 posts)And I also wish he had mentioned the war on drugs, as that is a massive economic and racial issue, and a big part of what his platform is about. Though others have said, and correctly, that class issues are integral to the struggles of all of us, I would have liked to see him make it explicitly clear that social justice will be a priority for his campaign. It's not because I think he isn't genuinly supportive of and active in fighting for minority rights, but because populist movements in the past have not fully addressed those issues (usually because doing so leads to abandoning capitalism). He needs to make a clear statement to the minority community that he hears them.
That said, this OP is a blatant and dishonest way to smear a man who's been heavily involved in social justice activism for his entire life. Yuck.
